“…According to Leat (1974), there is a definite order of development of tissues with bone preceding muscle and muscle developing before fat. Fat depots themselves have a defined order of development and continues in the order; abdominal, intermuscular, subcutaneous, and intramuscular.…”

“…The order of development of tissues is not altered; it is merely the time scale which is shortened or lengthened. One consequence of this is that if a carcass contains visible Intramuscular fat, it must also contain an excessive amount of other depot fat, particu larly subcutaneous (Leat, 1974). …”

“…There are two major defects in the present day meat carcass according to Leat (1974): (a) it can contain too much fat and (b) the fat is mainly saturated or mono-saturated in character, particularly in ruminants.…”

“…Leat (1974) reports that the deposition of fat is energetically expensive, and up to 20% of the calories are lost in the formation of triglycerides from glucose and acetate.…”

“…On a biochemical level, methods of depressing fat synthesis at critical phases of development or of parti tioning dietary energy in favor of tissues other than fat would be worth investigation (Leat, 1974). One promising area of investigation is in comparing carcass traits of animals using various housing systems and observing their effects on the previously mentioned major defects in the present day beef carcasses.…”

This reproduction was made from a copy of a manuscript sent to us for publication and microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to pho tograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. Pages in any manuscript may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed.The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify notations which may appear on this reproduction.1. Manuscripts may not always be complete. When it is not possible to obtain missing pages, a note appears to indicate this.2. When copyrighted materials are removed from the manuscript, a note ap pears to indicate this. Oversize materials (maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sec tioning the original, beginning at the upper left hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or in black and white paper format.* 4. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or micro fiche but lack clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, all photographs are available in black and white standard 35mm slide format.*
