Summary
This trial was designed to understand how different factors affect beef eating quality and how to manipulate these factors so to reduce the incidence of unsatisfactory product entering the supply chain. Further analysis of the data collected in the trial will continue and may reveal other important points that producers can take home. DNA samples have also been collected from all trial steers and could be used to cross reference the MSA grade results and CMQ4 scores with the current DNA marker tests for tenderness that are in the market.
