Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to create and validate calibration models for the Frontmatec Q-FOM™ Beef grading camera based on rib eye traits found in Australian carcasses, using data from 12 commercial processing facilities.
  • - The Q-FOM™ showed strong predictive performance for continuous traits like eye muscle area, marbling, and intramuscular fat percentage, achieving high accuracy and precision metrics (R values up to 0.95).
  • - For categorical traits such as marbling and meat color, the camera achieved over 60% prediction accuracy and demonstrated excellent repeatability, with 95% of valuations falling within one class of expert graders.

This study aims to describe the meat quality of young Holstein (HOL) beef-on-dairy heifers and bulls sired by Angus (ANG, n = 109), Charolais (CHA, n = 101) and Danish Blue (DBL, n = 127), and to investigate the performance of the handheld vision-based Q-FOM™ Beef camera in predicting the intramuscular fat concentration (IMF%) in M. longissimus thoracis from carcasses quartered at the 5th-6th thoracic vertebra. The results showed significant differences between crossbreeds and sexes on carcass characteristics and meat quality.

We report the first observation of a shoulder in the radiation spectrum from GeV electrons in a structured target consisting of two thin and closely spaced foils. The position of the shoulder depends on the target spacing and is directly connected to the finite formation length of a low-energy photon emitted by an ultrarelativistic electron. With the present setup it is possible to control the separation of the foils on a μm scale and hence measure interference effects caused by the macroscopic dimensions of the formation length.
