Beef carcasses grading are classified in the abattoirs by muscle conformation and fat content. Recently there has been a growing interest in new technologies capable of improving accuracy of estimates, like video image analysis (VIA). The objective of this work was to estimate the marbling of bovine carcasses using image analysis technology (eMeater) and to compare it with intramuscular fat content determined by the solvent extraction method. Images of 70 bovine carcasses were obtained between the 12^th and the 13^th rib. The results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.86 between the marbling obtained by the eMeater and the intramuscular fat content (P<0.05). The obtained results suggest that this method is very useful for measuring carcass marbling and represents an objective and appropriate approach for reducing the human error that can result from subjective evaluations.
