Abstract

Lamb racks from commercial carcasses were scanned using near-infrared spectroscopy. The prediction accuracies (R²) for meat quality traits were assessed. Prediction accuracy ranged between 0.40 and 0.94. When predicted values were used to classify meat based on quality, 88.7%–95.2% of samples were correctly classified as quality guaranteed.
