“…GOMES et al (2011) mentioned that the index of carcass compactness may be employed to assess the production of tissues in the carcass of animals with similar body weight, with a direct relation to the proportion of muscle and fat in the animal carcass. Values of LEA (Table 3), a characteristic linked to the size of the body, verified in this study, are within the rate of values mentioned in the literature for goats (CUNHA et al, 2002;EL-WAZIRY et al, 2011;SALLES et al, 2013). According to SALLES et al (2013), LEA is the most representative measurement of an animal muscle mass, and higher values for this measure represent better carcasses regarding muscle amount.…”

“…Also, the CP value which was obtained in this study were in agreement with those reported in earlier works in the local goats in Tanzania and other countries [5,8,23,26]. Lower and higher CP values compared to the ones reported in our study are reported in the literature [19,24,25]. Furthermore, both fat and mineral compositions were in agreement with those published in the findings of previous [23].…”

“…Despite the differences noted in our strains in other parameters, the DM content was not significant and compares well with values in earlier reports for fattened SEA goats [23] and other goats elsewhere [5]. Higher DM values (27.6 -32.9%) have been observed in supplemented Tanzania crossbred [7] and castrated or feedlot goats [24][25][26]. Also, the CP value which was obtained in this study were in agreement with those reported in earlier works in the local goats in Tanzania and other countries [5,8,23,26].…”

Goats are an integral part of farming systems in rural communities of Tanzania and are second in importance after cattle in the provision of meat, milk, and income. It was estimated that there were 18 million goats in Tanzania in 2018 and the majority (about 98%) belonged to the Small East African (SEA) breed. The SEA goats are characterized by low productivity due to their inherently low genetic potential for meat and milk leading to low profitability. It is important to design sustainable programmes for increasing productivity of indigenous goats and the first step is to compile status with regard to productivity and to assess market-oriented characteristics for these animals. The aims of this study were: to evaluate carcass characteristics of meat from four strains of the SEA goats namely Gogo, Pare, Sonjo as well as Sukuma, and to assess the preference of consumers for goat meat and meat cuts. Forty eight goats (12 per strain) were involved in this study. The meat was dissected into lean, bone, subcutaneous fat as well as standard joints, and these parts were weighed or measured to obtain the lengths. Longissimus dorsi was sampled from the carcass to determine quality using proximate analysis. Also, a survey was conducted to determine the prices of meat cuts and preferences of consumers using a questionnaire. Averages were compared using the General Linear Model (GLM) procedure of the statistical analysis system. Survey data were coded and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Test of significance was based on 5%. The composition of meat was 65.2 to 67% lean, 23.5 to 25.7% bone and 8.4 to 10.7% fat. Gogo strain had heaviest carcasses (10.3±0.45kg). Dressing Percentage (DP) ranged from 42.1 to 43.5% and was not significant among strains. Carcass Length (CL), Chest Depth (CD), length of Hind Legs (HLL) and leg circumference were significant among strains and CD was associated with the weight of the carcass. Fore and hind parts as well as ribs comprised 60% lean. Crude protein and ash were significant among strains whereas dry matter and fat were not significant. The hind leg was most preferred (52.5% respondents) because of more meat although was the most priced part (9798±385 Tanzanian shillings about 4.3US$). In conclusion, the SEA strains evaluated in this study contained more meat and less bone and fat; there are variations in characteristics and quality of meat among the strains, and consumers prefer the more meaty parts.

“…Plumpness of leg (%): Comparison between thigh circumferences with thigh length expressed in percent (Fisher & De Boer, 1994). Loin eye area (inch 2 ), obtained from eye-muscle (m. longissimus dorsi) area was measured after tracing the eyemuscle at 12/13 th rib position, using millimeter plasctic blocks (Boggs & Merkel, 1993;Ponnampalam et al, 2003;El-Waziry, 2011). The proportion of lean-meat was calculated as the carcass meat expressed as a percentage of carcass weight (Cole, 1982;Alexandre et al, 2009).…”

This research aimed to study the carcass characteristics of Kacang goats fed ration containing kapok seed meal (KSM) as a component of the concentrate. The experiment was conducted in two stages. The first stage was to find out the best variety of kapok that will be used in the second experiment; the second stage was to determine the benefits of KSM on carcass characteristics. Twenty-five, 8 months old Kacang goats with initial body weight of 11.71±1.08 kg, were used in this experiment. The animals were housed individually based on completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 5 replications. The rations were based on forage:concentrate ratio of 50:50 dry matter basis. The ration contained concentrates, with increasing levels of KSM, i.e.: R0 (napier grass + concentrate: rice bran, coconut cake, corn, urea + 0% KSM); R5 (R0 + KSM 5%); R10 (R0 + KSM 10%); R15 (R0 + KSM 15%); and R20 (R0 + KSM 20%). Drinking water was provided ad libitum. The result of first stage showed that KSM variety of MH-1 would be used as a component of the concentrate on the second experiment. The increasing level of KSM in the rations had significant effect (P<0.05) on physical characteristics of the carcass, such as dressing percentage (44.35%), carcass length (54.006 cm), fleshing index (130.59 g/cm), plumpness of leg (87.48%), loin eye area (5.06 cm 2), and percentage of carcass meat (64.69%). It is concluded that MH-1 variety of KSM can be used as a feed component up to 20 % in the goat ration.
