Abstract
Hanwoo is Korean native cattle historically raised mainly in the Korean Peninsula with maintained stable traits and blood lineage. In the Korean market, Hanwoo beef is enthusiastically preferred to imported beef despite of its relatively high price, as Korean consumers believe that Hanwoo beef is fresher and has better quality than imported beef according to survey results. Hanwoo beef can be characterized by its highly marbled fat (about 24% intramuscular fat content in loin muscles with 1++ quality grade), thin muscle fibers, minimal connective tissues, and the characteristic flavor. The quality traits and the nutritative composition of Hanwoo beef are different from beef from Australian Angus. Improving marbling scores and decreasing overall production cost are important goals for Korean cattle industry. Thus, caring and feeding strategies are programmed for these purposes.
