Teys Australia recently welcomed beef producers from across the region to its Jindalee processing plant, where guests saw a live demonstration of DEXA – a technology that is set to revolutionise the beef industry.
DEXA stands for Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry – it is an X-Ray (just like you would receive at the hospital for a broken bone) that measures the amount of fat, bone and meat in a carcass.
Using DEXA will provide beef producers with better feedback about the quality of their meat, make farming processes more efficient and produce cattle that are better suited to human consumption.
As one of the leading meat processors in Australia, being at the forefront of DEXA technology in abattoirs will help Teys Australia to maintain global competitiveness and commitment to quality.
Teys are installing DEXA in its Rockhampton abattoir, and plans to use the technology in our Wagga abattoir from early next year.
