Summary
The University of New England was contracted to complete consumer sensory tests for further MSA model development, in conjunction with INF and Resource flock genetic and genomic testing.
A total of 896 lambs were utilised to collect loins, knuckles and topsides for grill samples. Of the 896, 200 lambs were utilised to collect racks, shoulders, legs and knuckles for roast samples, as well as loins, rumps, outsides, knuckles and topsides for grill samples.
Consumer sensory data were collected from 6000 consumers, over 100 consumer sensory sessions, with results incorporated into the cuts based MSA grading model for sheepmeat.
