Title

The influence of slaughter age of goat kids on some selected meat qualities

Abstract

The major objective of the investigations performed was to determine the meat quality of the crossbreed upgraded, white breed, breed male goat kids, that were slaughtered at the age 90 days and of 180 days; the 90-day old animals weighed 20,6 kg and the 180 day old animals weighed 30kg. During the investigations, the following parameters were determined: key physical § chemical properties, sensory traits, and a fatty acids content in the intramuscularj fat. It was stated that that the meat of male kids slaughtered at the age of 90 days showed decreased yalues of the following ingredients: dry matter (21.6%); total protein (19.7%); fat (1.3%), and ash (1.0%)J The muscle tissue of male goat kids in the group I was by 5.12% brighter than the respective tissue of male kids in group II. The meat of male goat kids slaughtered at the age of 180 days was characterised by ja higher content of saturated fatty acids if compared with the group of 90-day old animals slaughtered (41.6%).
