Increased carcass
cutability due to ZH supplementation has been consistent response in feedlot cattle [16], with the more pronounced effect occurring in the hindquater [17].
While McDonough will not reveal the exact PE grades used for this application, he notes that printed shrink film requires low haze,
cutability, shrinkability, and sealability.
Higher level of endogenous testosterone is associated with increased growth and carcass
cutability in beef cattle (Gortsema et al., 1974).

cutability: An evaluation of the USDA yield grades for beef.
Electro Optic offers several grades of flexible dies of unsurpassed quality and consistency to address the
cutability and longevity requirements of the average label to high demanding film labelstock.
These pigs, which grow slowly and have thin skin, high meat
cutability, and extra-fine muscle fibers, exhibit strong adaptability and resistance to harsh environments (14).
Hampshires produce lean meat with low back fat and large loin eyes, and they have a good meat-to-bone ratio and high
cutability.
The second dimension of the price grid is determined by the yield grade, which indicates
cutability, or the amount of edible meat from the animal.
