Estimation of the age/maturity of beef hide samples
This project will examine whether NIRS of skin/hide samples can be used to accurately estimate the age/maturity of slaughter animals with a particular focus on beef and sheep. Conceptually, a small area of skin and muscle could be evaluated on line and at line speed, providing an accurate estimate of animal age/maturity and its effect on eating quality.
