The project has interpreted China's lamb procession characteristics for the first time, established a lamb processing evaluation system suitable for Chinese people's eating habits and developed key technologies and equipment for lamb stepwise processing. These achievements have solved three major technological problems - ambiguous lamb processing characteristics and low accuracy of grade cut, deterioration of the lamb quality and short shelf life, low industrialization and quality stability. The project makes a great stride toward lamb processing from handwork experience to standardized industrialization.
