“…Similar to the current study, Dhanda et al (1999a) and Santos et al (2007) for Capretto carcasses reported no significant effect of genotype on dressing percentages based on empty body weight. Different studies (Johnson and McGowan, 1998;Kosum et al, 2003;Ekiz et al, 2010) reported higher dressing percentages than the ones found in the present study. These differences might be attributed to variation in slaughter weight between studies.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of crossbreeding indigenous Hair Goat with Saanen on carcass quality characteristics of kids under an intensive production system. Twenty four male kids from purebred Hair Goat and Saanen x Hair Goat (F, and B { ) crossbred genotypes were weaned at 75-80 days of age and fattened for 56 days. Slaughter weights were 17.42,18.22 and 16.79 kg and chilled carcass weights were 6.49, 7.29 and 6.69 kg for Hair Goat, ¥ { and B,, respectively. The organ weights, dressing percentages, M. longissimus dorsi area, fatness parameters, carcass measurements, subcutaneous fat colour, carcass joint weights and percentages and dissected leg compositions of kids were similar (P>0.05) in genotype groups. It is concluded that crossbreeding indigenous Hair Goat with Saanen at F, and B, levels did not result in any improvement in quality carcass production of kids under an intensive production system.

Two trials were performed to assess the meat fatty acid profile of goat kids from different genotypes, production systems and sex. In the first trial, genotype effect was determined in 24 suckling male kids from Turkish Saanen, Maltese and Gokceada breeds. In the second trial, male and female Gokceada Goat kids were used to compare the effect of extensive and semi-intensive production systems on fatty acid composition of meat. Significant genotype effect was observed in the percentages of myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), oleic acid (C18:1 n-9), linolenic acid (C18:3 n-3), arachidonic acid (C20:4 n-6) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 n-3), despite no differences on the ratios of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (PUFA/SFA) and n-6/n-3 (P > 0.05). The effect of production system had also significant effects on fatty acids, but sex only influenced significantly stearic acid (C18:0), C18:1 n-9 and C18:3 n-3 fatty acids and total PUFA level and PUFA/SFA ratio. This study confirms that dairy breeds are prone to produce higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids in their muscle. Meanwhile, meat from Gokceada goat kids, which is one of the indigenous breeds in Turkey, had similar PUFA/SFA and n-6/n-3 ratios to Turkish Saanen and Maltase.

“…Additionally, the purchase intention during the time of display is greater for kids reared with natural milk than that for kids reared with milk replacers (Ripoll, Alcalde, Argüello, Córdoba, & Panea, 2018). Although the longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) is the most common muscle used in studies focused on suckling kid meat color (Bañón, Vila, Price, Ferrandini, & Garrido, 2006;Bonvillani et al, 2010;Dhanda, Taylor, & Murray, 2003;Ekiz, Ozcan, Yilmaz, Tölü, & Savas, 2010;Teixeira, Jimenez-Badillo, & Rodriguez, 2011;Todaro et al, 2004), other studies have measured the color of other muscles, such as semitendinosus or triceps brachii (Argüello et al, 2005;Marichal, Castro, Capote, Zamorano, & Arguello, 2003;Zurita-Herrera, Delgado, Argüello, Camacho, & Germano, 2013). Kid meat is often sold as rib and leg chops.…”

Most suckling kids are raised on farms for cheese production, and many goat farmers rear kids with milk replacers. The aim of this work was to study the influence of the use of milk replacers on the color of four muscles. A total of 246 suckling kids of eight breeds were slaughtered to achieve carcasses of 5 kg. The color of the biceps femoris , semimembranosus , semitendinosus, and longissimus thoracis muscles was measured with a spectrophotometer, and CIELab coordinates were registered. In addition, the pH of longissimus thoracis was measured. The effect of the rearing system (RS) on the color of the studied muscles is strongly modulated by breed. In general terms, there are two groups of kids according to the color of meat. The first group has great lightness and hue angle including Malagueña, Palmera, and Tinerfeña fed natural and artificial milk. The second group with great redness includes Retinta, Payoya, and Verata fed natural and artificial milk together with Florida fed natural milk and Cabra del Guadarrama fed milk replacers. Hence, farms should consider selecting a breed and RS together. Most of the kid meat with high pH comes from kids raised on milk replacers. Because artificial RSs use very early weaning, which might induce a high pH and dark meat, two artificial rearing strategies can be proposed. The first strategy is to choose less sensitive breeds that produce meat with a normal pH. The second strategy is to restrict suckling of natural milk but minimize separation from the mother.
