도축검사 후 지방성 병변과 축산물 품질 연관성 조사

Abstract

Abstract The survey was conducted to investigate the relation between slaughter inspection results and the quality of cattle carcasses by inquiring animal products grading service results of Korea Institute for Animal Products Quality Evaluation (KAPE) about partial-disposed cattle carcasses after dismantling inspection. Of the 13,586 slaughtered cattle, 1,343 (9.9%) cattle heads were partially disposed from January to August, 2012 at slaughterhouses in Gwangju area, Korea. Of the 1,343 partial disposed cattle, 613 (45.6%) cattle carcasses were graded into above Grade 1. Among partially disposed 1,171 Hanwoo heads, 613 (52.3%) cattle carcasses were graded into above Grade 1. However, none of dairy and beef cattle carcasses were graded into above Grade 1 out of 163 and 9 partial disposals, respectively. Of the 221 partial disposals by enteric fat necrosis, 139 carcasses were graded into above Grade 1, and the ratio; 62.9% ( P =0.001), was higher than that (50.3%) of total cattle carcass grade which is above Grade 1. From these results, it is suggested that quality of cattle carcasses which is mainly determined by marbling might be related to the fatty lesions such as fatty liver and enteric fat necrosis.
