Prédiction de la qualité de la viande de ruminants Compte-rendu du congrès international d ’ Août 2015 à Paris sur la prédiction de la qualité de la viande de ruminants pour mieux satisfaire les consommateurs

Beef and Lamb carcass grading to underpin consumer satisfaction Meat & Livestock Australia and Meat Standards Australia and INRA have organized an International meeting on Beef and Lamb carcass grading to underpin consumer satisfaction. The 2 day meeting consisted of 19 presentations centred on the theme that modern beef and lamb products must meet the expectations of consumers who purchase red meat to cook it as a meal solution. The focus was based around the Meat Standards Australia (MSA) grading platform which is designed as a sensory or eating quality grading system for underpinning a cooked meal performance that is matched to the occasion and requires no specialist knowledge by the consumer. This workshop unanimously supported the need for evidence based systems to underpin eating quality for lamb and beef in order to keep consumers purchasing products that are higher in price than the white meat competitors. Registrations were received from 80 people covering 17 countries (Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, Republic of Ireland, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States of America) creating a dynamic workshop atmosphere. In order to drive and focus the recommendations which were discussed at the end of the workshop, it was agreed to establish a working group of current collaborating countries that would be open with respect to new partners.
