4 269 is no simple task, The complexity, importance and continued interest in this endeavour is brought to the foreground when we realize that the early researchers investigating this problem could have celebrated their centennial better than a decade ago125 though 129, The weight and visual appraisal of the carcass apparently is adequate for some packing house carcass-lot evaluations Backfat measurements combined with complete cut-out data or the weight of a given cut from randomly selected carcasses serves the purpose of other packers136 Subjective quallty appraisal and carcass weight supplemented by backfat thicbpess, loin-eye area and carcass length satisfy some specific needsu0 Complete carcass cutout combined with carcass measurements and quality appraisals better serve the objectives of those interested in differences and relationships between the hysical characteristics under study on a large number of carcasses~lrq2,~3 A barometer of the producer's interest in carcass evaluation is registered by the &creased frequency and size of carcass contests This development coupled with a need for rapid, acc table evaluation methods has brought forth several indices of carcass value B4 through 142 These methodologies usually include subjective qualitative appraisal as well as some carcass measurements, cut-out and often other value determinants, None of these evaluations are "free of sin" to quote our Tennessee associatela Nevertheless, methods of evaluating the carcass that inch e the procedures of the Recommended Procedures for Quality Carcass Contests 644 will allow some -- degree of standardization which will further facilitate more useful utilization of the data for cmparative purposes The more dedicated individuals or those not completely satisfied wlth these evaluation results try to peer deeper into this complex problem One of the most direct classical methods of determining the quantity of skin, bone209, fatty and muscular tissue components of the camplet carcass is by p sical separation This method has b en used b several f27,145 though gzearly and present day investigators f253 throud 158 when meticulously carried out the separation technique can unquestionably yield valuable Information in terns of the ratio or Ucrease of the separated entities Since the procedure is quite costly in terms of time and tedious labor, much effort has been directed toward the selection of sample portions of the carcass which are representative or associated with the various carcass componentsl@+6 though 1% The carcass and sample separation methods have the common basic weakness of not evaluating the ve im ortant but elusive term "quality" Pre~edingU~~~~8, concurrent to U!657,f28 and since 165 through 168 the innovation about a century ago of the separation techniques carc88s and live animal "evaluators" were chemically analyzing samples from animals and carcasses Proximate and more detailed chemical analyses of carcass samples possibly are not necessary in maw carcass evaluations Hmver, in the more detailed investigations concerning the effects of treatment or the relationship between elemental entities, chemical analyses are essential for accurate description and identification purposeslg5 Archimedes' principle, when applied to carcasses or cmponents thereof, has been shown to be a reasonable index of the lean-fat ratio or percentage of moisture, protein and ether extractable materials
