Meats Exam 3 Flashcards
Angus cattle are known for having these kinds of muscle fibers
Red
Antipyrine measures this in animals, which is inversely related to fatness
water
Approximate ounces per day recommended for meat consumption
6 oz.
Body composition determined by weighing underwater
specific gravity
Breed that has the highest bone content
Holstein
Carcass proportion that is higher in bulls than steers
Chuck
Fat color that is considered less desirable
Yellow
Groups of livestock of similar market desirability in terms of predictions of the type of carcass they will provide
Grades
Highest palatability grade for a lamb
Prime
Last location for muscle development
rib-loin junction
Makes up 56% of total muscle weight of cattle of very different shapes and appearance
Expensive muscle group
Measures the gamma radiation given off to predict muscle in live animals
K:K40
Number one factor in the selection of the foods we eat
Palatability
Original grade identified for elite customers
Prime
Species that still has a measure of internal fat for predicting palatability
Cattle
Species that uses a dichotomous grading system for quality assessment
Swine
Term that describes the ratio of total muscle to total fat
Leanness
Type of iron more easily absorbed in the body
Heme
Type of probe that the Hennessy Grading Probe and Fat-O-Meater are
Optical
Uses a camera plus digitizer to capture informations to predict quality and composition of carcasses
VIA
T/F: As animals increase in weight, their carcasses become fatter and their retail cuts become larger
True
T/F: As fatness increases, retail cut yield decreases
True
In Market When Ready, at some point and with the inherent growth potential of the specific animal involved, the proportions of muscle, bone and fat, are optimal
True
In sleep time, fat hogs sleep longer than lean hogs when given 12 mg of Nembutol
False
Muscle is always present in constant ratio and proportion to bone
False
The National Beef Market Basket Survey showed that beef cuts in the retail case were leaner than previously
True
The priority of nutrient utilization for fat depots, from highest to lowest, is perinephric, intermuscular, subcutaneous, and intramuscular
True
These are cuts of beef and pork that are similar to chicken with respect and cholesterol
True
Value based marketing states that cattle, carcasses, and cuts should be marketed on their individual merit rather than the group average (termed “average based marketing”)
True
Violating Do Not Hold results in decreased rate of gain, decreased feed efficiency, and undesirable carcass composition.
True
You can select for heavy muscling in the loin and/or round (leg or ham) and select against muscling in the chuck or shoulder
False
Those items from bovine animals that may contain the BSE agent.
Specified risk material (SRM)
Observed during beef slaughter to determine age of the cattle
Dentition
The term for smaller cuts that are obtained from primals (I.e., clod, chuck roll, and mock tender from the chuck.)
Sub Primals
Casings derived from certain sections of the digestive system of animals
Natural Casings
Produces a carcass with prominent hips, a large pelvic cavity that is devoid of fat, no pizzle eye, and devoid of fat in the udder region
Cow
Determine the proper ratio of Beef and Pork to use to formulate a 100-pound batch of sausage with 30% fat.
Meat source 1= Beef Trimmings 90:10 (10% fat)
Meat source 2= Pork trimmings 50:50 (50% fat)
Beef= 50 lbs
Pork= 50 lbs
Give the dressing percentage (to the nearest tenth) of a steer that had a live weight of 1100 pounds and a carcass weight of 693 pounds
63.0%
The sex class for 9 to 30 months of age bulls
Bullock
Predicts the expected palatability of cooked beef from a carcass
Quality grade
Which of these three animal tissues would have the highest color index, beef chuck, pork shoulder, or veal shoulder
Beef Chuck
