Abstract

Several techniques have been used to evaluate, typify and classify carcasses of animals of zootechnical interest with the purpose of select animals with desirable traits or evaluate the products resulting from slaughtered animals. The older and most common methods that have been used are more practical and less accurate, such as body weight or body condition scoring. However, techniques such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, video image analysis and electromagnetic scanning enable faster and more accurate evaluations, representing an important progress for producers and for the meat industry.
