Let's take a look Fat Measurements by Ultrasonics n 1956, Temple et a l, ultrasonically measuring subcutaneous f a t thickness a t three points over t h e l a s t r i b of 6 c a t t l e, obtained a gross t o t a l correlation of 39 with a c t u a l carcass f a t thichness (Table 1) The correlation between a l l ultrasonic (us) values on each animal and measured fatness, when used t o distinguishbetween animals was 63 Two years l a t e r, Rowden reported a higher correlation of 7 between average "Somascope" us f a t thickness readings and the f a t thickness of carcass of 38 animal He a l s o noted a 69 correlation between us f a t readings and the weight of f a t i n t h e 2 r i b section, Price et a, 1 using t h e Sperry Reflectoscope, reported t h a t ultrasonics had indicated some promise f o r measuring f a t thickness Reports by t h e Cornell researchers (Stouffer and Wellington, 196 and Wallentine, 196) gave s l i g h t l y lower values of 35 and 5, respectively, f o r t h e us and a c t u a l f a t thickness relationship Hedrick e t a 1 () ultrasonically measured t h e f a t thicknesses of several groups of c a t t l e j u s t p r i o r t o slaughter The correlations between u s values and carcass f a t thicknesses ranged frm 43 t o 69 However, when c a t t l e were evaluated ultrasonically for f a t thickness f i v e months before This would be expected, since slaughter, the correlation was only 15 most of t h e fatness v a r i a b i l i t y would occur i n the l a t t e r stages of fattening Using 8 scanning type Branson bstrument, Davis and Long () a t Georgia, obtained correlation c o e f f i c i e n t s of 9 and 67 f o r two groups of c a t t l e when us and a c t u a l subcutaneous f a t thicknesses were compared (Table 2) Temple and Raasey (), summarizing t h e i r research using t h e t i s s u e scanner and Branson instrument, indicated correlation coefficients of 4 t o 89 between 2at thickness measured ultrasonically and on t h e carcass Alsmeyer, Hiner and Thornton () computed correlations of 46, 61, 6 and 55 between us subcutaneous f a t thickness estimates
