MIJ technology
Meat Imaging Japan
Led by professor Keigo Kushida and his team, Obihiro University is a leader in cutting-edge technologies aimed at evaluating marbling and other meat quality standards in carcasses at an industrial level.
At this University, Professor Kushida's team developed a lens that adapts to a cell phone and, using a mobile application, photographs can be taken of a cross-section of the animal's carcass.
These photographs are sent to the company MIJ Lab Co. in Japan, and within a short period of time this company sends a report with more than a dozen parameters that assess quality, among which the infiltration rate is also evaluated of intramuscular fat.
All major Wagyu breed associations on the world, like the Australian, the American or the British officially use this technology to assess the quality of their meat. It is also based on this technology that we assess our meat and create our price list.
