Objective: The aim of this study was to identify a distribution pattern of meat quality grade (MQG) as a function of carcass yield index (CYI) and the gender of Hanwoo (bull, cow, and steer) to determine the optimum point between both yield and quality. We also attempted to identify how pre- and post-deboning variables affect the gender-specific beef quality of Hanwoo.Methods: A total of 31 deboning variables, consisting of 7 pre-deboning and 24 post-deboning variables from bulls (n = 139), cows (n = 69), and steers (n = 153), were obtained from the National Institute of Animal Science (NIAS) in South Korea. The database was reconstructed to be suitable for a statistical significance test between the CYI and the MQG as well as classification of meat quality. Discriminant function analysis was used for classifying MQG using the deboning parameters of Hanwoo by gender.Results: The means of CYI according to 1+, 1, 2, and 3 of MQG were 68.64±2.02, 68.85±1.94, 68.62±5.88, and 70.99±3.32, respectively. High carcass yield correlated with low-quality grade, while high-quality meat most frequently was obtained from steers. The classification ability of pre-deboning parameters was higher than that of post-deboning parameters. Moisture and the shear force were the common significant parameters in all discriminant functions having a classification accuracy of 80.6%, 71%, and 56.9% for the bull, cow, and steer, respectively.Conclusion: This study provides basic information for predicting the meat quality by gender using pre-deboning variables consistent with the actual grading index.

Data over two years on a total of 149 Shorthorn bulls from a closed herd under direct selection for yearling weight were used to examine line differences in carcass yield and quality and to evaluate relationships between live performance and carcass yield and quality. No significant differences [Formula: see text] in performance or carcass data between control and selected lines were apparent in 1967. However, in 1968 bulls from the selected line were heavier at slaughter (470.5 kg vs. 441.8 kg), their carcasses contained more kidney fat (9.14 kg vs. 8.46 kg), and they had larger loin eye area but smaller weight-adjusted loin eye area. Rate of gain was superior for the selected line whether examined as live-weight, carcass weight, trimmed primal cut weight or lean weight per day of age. There were no significant differences between lines for percent fat, lean or bone in primal cuts, or for rib fat thickness, percent trimmed prime cuts, percent seam fat, muscle/bone and hind/front ratios, or for chemical composition or tenderness evaluations of the longissimus dorsi. Averaged over the two years and at the same averaged slaughter weights (418 days), selected-line bulls produced a significantly greater quantity of total carcass, of trimmed primal cuts and of total lean than did the control-line bulls; selection for yearling weight appeared to have been effective in increasing rate of lean growth. Phenotypic correlations indicated that liveweight/day of age was more highly related to variation in lean growth rate than growth rate of fat. From 20 to 60% of the variation in wholesale cut weights was associated with differences in rate of gain. Distribution of the gains was little influenced by rate of gain. Tenderness evaluations were not related to live performance.

Представлены экспериментальные данные о влиянии капельного орошения на урожайность и качество плодов томата при выращивании культуры в открытом грунте Московской области. На плодородных аллювиальных луговых почвах Москворецкой поймы при соблюдении агротехники без орошения в среднем за три года исследований в полевых условиях получена урожайность томата F1 Донской 31,9 т/га, с орошением 48,5 т/га, в т.ч. стандартной продукции 42,6 т/га.The article presents experimental data on the effect of drip irrigation on the yield and quality of tomato fruits when growing crops in open ground of the Moscow Region. On fertile alluvial meadow soils of the Moscow river floodplain, with the observance of agricultural technology without irrigation, the field yield of tomato hybrid F1 Donskoi on average for three years of research was 31.9 t/ha, with irrigation 48.5 t/ha, incl. standard production 42.6 t/ha.
