I thinkt that it's about rounds and pones of fat; forms of fat deposits.
kashew Aug 9, 2009:
Another definition pons, pontes: slender tissue joining two parts of an organ.
Maybe the typo was for "pontes"!
kashew Aug 9, 2009:
A definition Pones: cakes of cornbread baked on a griddle or in hot ashes as the Native Americans originally cooked it.
Even experts can make typos!
Ghyslaine LE NAGARD (asker) Aug 9, 2009:
But it is mentioned 3 times in the document which is written by a group of scientists from a specialized institution in Australia which is why I ruled out the typo option.
kashew Aug 9, 2009:
TYPO Bones!

L'expression **"rounds" or "pones"** est relativement présente sur le Web, toujours avec des guillemets.
Une recherche rapide m'a amenée ici, où l'on trouve des photos : http://msucares.com/pubs/publications/p2508.pdf qui m'ont suggéré une traduction.
Pour réf. classes de conformation des bovins en français : http://www.office-elevage.fr/CD-PCM-2008/maj-2007/class-gb.p... Les bovins "gras" ne sont pas décrits, j'imagine qu'ils sont considérés comme relevant plus de la pathologie.

Rien n'interdit de penser que les "pones" ont approximativement la forme des cakes of cornbread baked on a griddle or in hot ashes as the Native Americans originally cooked it dont parle kashew, que j'imagine bien comme des sortes de galettes plates.

et bien sûr, il s'agit d'amas ou de plaques de graisse

"pones"

Maybe the intention is "pons, pontes pl.", the Latin anatomical term for commonly-named "rounds"?
