Extract

Consumer purchasing decisions are, to a large part, governed by the level and consistency of meat quality and there is a need to identify systems of production that deliver consistent lamb eating quality through the winter months that will restore retailer confidence in British lamb outside the main grazing season.. The Vipond et al. (2005) report on lamb eating quality highlighted the deterioration in lamb flavour post-Christmas and recommended that dietary effects be investigated with a specifically designed experiment.
