• The objective of this work was to use meta-analysis to estimate the effect size of the correlations between carcass tissues measurements obtained by ultrasounds and taken on the carcass of bovines. Eight idependent studies of correlations between carcass tissues measurements obtained by ultrasounds and taken on the carcass of bovines were used. In each study the correlations and the sample size were obtained and a correlations random-effects meta-analysis model was applied. The estimated correlations effect size was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.73-0.82), for the EGS measurement, and 0.54 (95% CI: 0.47-0.51), for the AML measurement, and the studies were hetereogeneous for both carcass tissues measuments. These results confirmedthe high and positive correlations between carcass tissues measurements obtained by ultrasounds and taken on the carcass of bovines.
