X-Ray Grading System
The patented X-Ray system is designed to determine the skeletal structure of a carcass and determine the ideal cut points for separation of the Forequarter, Middle and Hindquarter. Recently work has been undertaken exclusively for Silver Fern Farms in New Zealand, in providing added value to our customers by using the X-ray data to provide more information about the carcass composition.
This project is being done in a number of stages with the first stage delivering the weight of each primal. This is now available outside of New Zealand. Work is also underway on the second stage to determine the lean meat, fat and bone proportions within each Primal making it possible to optimise product management, payment to suppliers and manage yields through a boning room.
