Moreover. ,,the demand for less fat in pork products has caused •;%\'1.3te producers to search fur pigs with less bach.fat and more, lean. 'Under the present. Canadian pork carcass grading system, thcf price which the produc-er receives for each carcass is determined by the "Index" .which is based prim- arily upon backfat thickness and'. carcass weight. Two factrat probing demon- strations were held on Monday, December 14th.
