Third uruguayan national beef quality audit: bruises characterization.
Resumen:
The third Uruguayan National Beef Quality Audit (UNBQA) was held in a cooperative project among Colorado State University (CSU), INAC e INIA, assessing breed-type, brands, horns and mud/manure, bruises, offal condemnation and carcass quality. Bruises are avery good indicator of animal welfare and when a bruise affects muscle tissue, the affected area is trimmed, leading to economic losses. Many of the UNBQA-2002, 2007 and 2013 findings were used to implement training practices related with animal welfare and pre slaughter handling for all the stakeholders of the Uruguayan meat chain.
