	abstract = {New Zealand is the world{\textquoteright}s largest exporter of sheep meat with the United Kingdom being the single largest market (Meat \& Wool New Zealand, 2009). Hence, the acceptance of sheep meat in international markets is an important economic issue (Prescott et al.2001). For retail purchasers of meat in the United Kingdom the visual appearance, the eating experience, and their interaction will influence how much the consumer is willing to pay for the product (Savellet al., 1989). To ensure repeat purchases of high quality New Zealand lamb by United Kingdom consumers, it is important that the consumer enjoys the overall eating experience of the product.},

	abstract = {Lamb producers are being provided with strong incentives to gain better control over the growth performance of their animals. These incentives are driven by increased demand for lean product of consistent quality, rigid market specifications, and significant penalties when carcasses do not meet the criteria imposed by processors. Feed conversion efficiency is enhanced whenthe ratio of lean to fat deposition is improved (Sillence, 2004). This is an important consideration for producers due to rising costs of generating high quality feed. Hence, increasing the proportion ofcarcasses that meet market specifications can improve the profitability of a lamb-production enterprise.},
