How can producers directly affect cutability?

Producers can directly affect cutability by implementing selective breeding practices that enhance desirable traits in livestock, such as muscle development and fat distribution. Additionally, they can optimize feeding strategies and management practices to improve the overall growth rate and body composition of the animals. Proper handling and stress reduction during the pre-slaughter phase also play a crucial role in maintaining meat quality and yield. Ultimately, these practices lead to a higher percentage of saleable cuts, positively impacting profitability.
