Descripción
In this paper the results of a trial to test the accuracy of livestock market reporters in estimating carcass weight and fat cover are reported. It is concluded that the current performance of the reporters in carcass weight estimation is satisfactory, but there is scope for improvement in the estimation of fat cover. The importance of a continuing training program for market reporters to maintain and improve on current standards of accuracy is emphasised.
