英文文献摘要：
Ultrasound technology is available for accurately measuring intramuscular fat (IMF) in live pigs. This report provides information on the costs for pig producers and processors to implement this technology and what consumers are willing to pay for pork with improved levels of intramuscular fat. About half the participants in the willingness to pay study preferred the high IMF chop. They paid a premium of 25 percent over the low IMF chop.

超声技术可用于准确测量活猪肌肉内脂肪(IMF)。这份报告提供了有关猪生产者和加工商实施这项技术的成本，以及消费者愿意为提高了肌肉内脂肪水平的猪肉支付多少钱的信息。在愿意支付的研究中，约有一半的参与者更喜欢IMF的高额印章。他们支付了25%的溢价比低的国际货币基金组织印章。
