What is it about?

The Meat Standards Australia (MSA) grading scheme has the ability to predict beef eating quality for each ‘cut × cooking method combination’ from animal and carcass traits such as sex, age, breed, marbling, hot carcass weight and fatness, ageing time, etc. This methodology works in many different countries.

Perspectives
