| Summary: | This study was conducted to evaluate the current situation in Turkey
by providing information about the systems used in carcass classification
and grading in beef cattle. Industrial goods and services
must have a standard in their economy. Obtaining quality products is
provided by production within the framework of determining standards.
The carcasses obtained from beef cattle are standardized and
graded to ensure their recognition in the market. Standardization
and grading; ıt simplifies, facilitates and makes it less costly to move
goods across the market channel. In livestock quality standardization,
current production is divided into standard shares as much as
possible; therefore, animal products are produced in a wide range of
quality. The trend in the marketing of high-quality beef animals and
carcasses is geared towards grading and yield. Carcass classification
is used to accurately define the suitability and values of cattle and
sheep carcasses according to their intended use. The main criteria
used in the classification of cattle carcasses are weight, conformation
and fatness. In the USA and European Union countries, the classification
of beef carcasses plays an essential role in international
meat trade marketing. |
