Snowflake beef is found in different parts of the cow. Snowflake beef is mainly beef that has fat deposited between the muscle fibers, creating a distinct red and white color and a marble-like shape.

Snowflake beef originated from Japanese Wagyu cattle, China has emerged a number of "snowflake beef" independent brands, such as Dalian's Xuelong black cattle, Shaanxi's Qinbao, Yanbian's Benfu, Beijing's Royal Palace of Fragrance, Shandong's YiLiYuan, HongAn, QINHao, and other brands. 2013 Jiangcheng market is mainly dominated by the Dalian's black beef. Dalian's black cow beef is the main, the black cow is the introduction of Japan's Kobe Wagyu cattle as a seed source, and France's Limousin cattle to obtain fertilized embryos, and then transfer the embryos to China's Dalian Fuzu cattle breeding for three-way crossbreeding and become.

It is also called marbled beef at home and abroad. It is found in different parts of the cow, and is mostly graded by its density of distribution, shape and meat quality. Our common "fat cow" can also be considered a kind of, and the choice of eye meat, brain, spine, it is more superior. This kind of beef is fragrant, fresh, tender, is the Chinese and Western food are suitable for high-grade beef, the price is more expensive.

Requirements for the production of snowflake beef

The production of snowflake beef from the choice of varieties has specific requirements. In foreign countries, the snowflake beef raised by Kobe Wagyu cattle in Japan is the most famous. 2013 in China, the Qinchuan cattle mother, Red Angus cattle as the father, can also be bred to produce snowflake beef breeds. Good conditions for fat deposition are a major requirement for the selection of snowflake beef cattle breeds.

In terms of feeding, the mother cow normal feeding on it, to the calf after birth, it is not the same as ordinary calves. The calf from birth to 10 months this stage is the growth period, the foundation must be laid. The most important thing to keep in mind is to let the calf eat more. While a normal calf may only be allowed to eat 80% of its stomach, a snowflake calf should be fed 10% of its stomach. This is because the most important thing at this stage is for the snowflake calf to grow bones. This requires the snowflake calf's ribs to be spaced out.

To make the bones of the snowflake calf bigger, you need to make the stomach bigger first, and if you make the stomach bigger, the bones will also be bigger. And then through the bone development, to promote the development of meat, in the process of meat development, inside the fat tissue and then development, snow beef is actually muscle inside the muscle fiber bundles and muscle fiber bundles between a lot of capillaries, so that the capillaries are also penetrated in the periphery of the blood vessel wall between the bundles of muscle fibers to deposit on the fat, so that the formation of snow beef.
