Preface

Red Meat Science is a comprehensive compilation of research performed to reveal the science of red meat in order to understand the fundamentals undergirding its production. Red meat not only is the product of a lifetime embodied in the muscles of ruminant animals but also is characterized by processes that take place after the animal dies when muscle becomes meat. The science of red meat, therefore, concerns the analysis of these complex biological processes. The production of red meat involves the synthesis of these processes into holistic production systems orchestrating them toward red meats desired by consumers. Thus, Red Meat Science begins with the consumer who determines the product character desired. The product character is described according to definable attributes. The biological and necrological sciences underlying the formation of these attributes are analyzed in order to synthesize them into production systems designed to consist
