1 How does MSA meet consumer expectations Sarah Strachan, MSA Program Manager 1

2 Influencing beef eating quality 3

3 Tropical breed content ~ 40 breeds of cattle in Australia All breeds eligible for MSA grading Bos indicus content - negative impact on eating quality Aim for producers use lowest % of TBC for the environment Breed Striploin Eye of knuckle Brahman (100%) Brahman x Angus (50%) Angus (0%)

4 Verified by hump height Measured on every MSA graded carcase Lots of mixed breed content can be accurately graded Adjusted for carcase weight Little difference in the accuracy in predicting eating quality with either hump height or Bos indicus content Comparable to the accuracy predicted from SNP genotype data and eating quality Cost effective and time efficient measure 5

5 Hang method Cut Achilles Tenderstretch Tenderloin Cube roll Striploin Rump Topside Bolar blade

6 MSA Marbling Increased juiciness and flavour. Scored from 100 to 1190 (amount and distribution). MSA marbling score Rump Striploin

7 Carcase maturity Cartilage turning to bone to indicate physiological maturity Scored Increase in ossification = decrease in eating quality Ossification vs dentition 8

8 Dentition vs eating quality

9 ph High water holding capacity = less juicy Increased bacterial growth = reduced shelf life Cooking inconsistencies - High ph steaks will appear rarer = consumer dissatisfaction with degree of doneness MSA requirement ph to be less than

10 ph decline monitoring 11

11 Fat coverage Minimum 3mm rib fat Adequate fat distribution over major primals 12

12 Hormonal Growth Promotants Improve growth rates and feed conversion efficiency Negative effect on eating quality different by muscle Reduce amount of marbling Decrease fat coverage Increase ossification Cut HGP treated Non-HGP treated Tenderloin Striploin Cube roll Rump Topside

13 Non-EQ measurements 14

14 Ageing Ageing occurs as the muscle fibres in meat slowly breakdown through enzyme action Muscle fibres weakened = Increase in tenderness Ageing can occur on the bone or through vacuum packaging Meat does not age when frozen Minimum 5 days Predict up to 35 days 15

18 Translating eating quality information to customers What eating quality level do you want? What cook method do you intend to use? PKD ON 17-APR-2014 BEST BEFORE 29-MAY 2014 How long do you intend to age the product for? 20

19 Identifying MSA product 21

20 MSA on menus * * Meat Standards Australia (MSA) is an independent grading system that ensures tender, juicy beef. Menu items identified with the MSA symbol have been graded to ensure you always enjoy a great tasting steak! 22

21 Integrity of MSA Graders become trained and accredited by AUSMEAT Must show evidence of competency through correlation process every 8 week for all carcase graded attributes Data monitored and validated by MSA All MSA participants adhere to MSA Standards endorsed by industry Processors independently audited against standards by third party (AUSMEAT) MSA operations covered by ISO 9001:

23 Making it easier to improve eating quality

24 What does the MSA index look like? MSA Index = A weighted MSA score for the carcase Each carcase is assigned an Index between 30 and 80 Average for = 57.52
