Wgt: weight at appr 7 months of age, AbdCirc: abdominal circumference at approximately 7 months of age, ADG: average daily gain from birth to slaughter, SLfat: weight of leaf fat at slaughter, SL%meat: percentage of meat content at slaughter.
Pig breeding programs have been mainly focused on the improvement of growth rate and production efficiency, such as average daily gain, food conversion ratio, dressing percentage, and lean meat content.
In modern food processing, the meat content, frequently beef or pork, may also include other meats, meat mixtures, and added meat-packing by-products.
Intensive breeding programs, designed to improve lean meat content in pigs, have considerably increased the amount of meat in carcass.
It's not only healthier: the lower meat content means it is cheaper, too.
Horsemeat accounted for approximately 29% of the meat content in one sample from Tesco.
The competition regulations also state the content of the meat and potato mix have to be 1cm (0.4in) and they must have 66% meat content not including pastry.
For the best English breakfast, always buy sausages with a high meat content.
In some cases, as much as 100% of the meat content was other undeclared meats.
Some of the inconsistency in findings may be owing to differences in definitions of total meat, red, and processed meats and in the derivation of the meat content of meat dishes.
Haplotypes were also analysed for effects of slaughter weight and meat content.
