Résumé
This study conducted a retrospective analysis of historical Meat Standard Australia (MSA) carcass data in combination with Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) weather data, to evaluate the relationship between climatic conditions prior to feedlot departure on the incidence of dark cutting grain-fed beef. Data records for 2,795,754 carcasses from 17 commercial feedlots over a 6-year period were evaluated within this study. Carcasses were consigned to 16 abattoirs. Weather data from BOM were recorded at 30-min intervals and were obtained from weather stations with the closest proximity to each feedlot. These data were used to calculate the Temperature Humidity Index (THI). Climatic data were amalgamated into daily observations and a series of predictors including ambient temperature (T
