Extract

Data from the chemical and dissection analyses of thirty-nine New Zealand Romney Marsh ewe carcasses are presented and compared. One side of each carcass was dissected into muscle, fat, and bone and the other side was totally ground and chemically analysed for water, fat, protein, and ash. There were strong statistical relationships between the two methods of carcass analysis and accordingly the quicker and more simple chemical technique could replace dissection in many carcass studies.
