“…With regard to valuable carcass joint percentages, long leg percentages were 32.48-34.21%, shoulder percentages were 20.87-21.37% and ribs percentages were 23.54-24.41%. These results were in accordance with long leg (31.63-33.52%), shoulder (19.32-19.96%) and ribs (21.24-24.60%) results of crossbred kids producing Capretto carcasses at 6-12 kg (Dhanda et al, 1999b). Dhanda et al (1999b) found the effects of genotype significant on shoulder and ribs percentages while they were not significant on long leg percentage being similar to the result of the present study.…”

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.

“…Dissection results indicated that kid and lamb carcasses had more than 60% of dissectible lean, about 21.0 to 21.8% of bone content and 12.9 to 16.9% of dissectible fat (Tables 4 and 5). These dissection results are in agreement with those obtained by Dhanda et al (1999) with Capretto carcasses and by Sañudo et al (2000) with suckling lambs (shoulder dissection). However, in the present study, kid carcasses had greater muscle content (P < 0.001) and lower dissected fat (P < 0.001) and bone (P < 0.05) than lambs (Tables 4 and 5).…”

Carcass composition and meat quality attributes of 55 suckling kids (27 males and 28 females) and 57 suckling lambs (28 males and 29 females) of Portuguese native breeds were investigated. These suckling kid and lamb meats are European meat quality labels produced according to "Cabrito de Barroso-PGI" and "Borrego Terrincho-PDO" specifications, respectively. Female kids were slaughtered at 9.1 ± 0.36 kg of BW, and male kids were slaughtered at 10.4 ± 0.37 kg of BW, corresponding to 20.1 and 17.7% of maturity, respectively. Female lambs were slaughtered at 8.6 ± 0.53 kg of BW, and male lambs were slaughtered at 9.9 ± 0.23 kg of BW, corresponding to 19.9 and 17.1% of maturity, respectively. At 24 h postmortem, various yield and quality measurements were collected. The left sides of the carcasses were dissected into muscle, subcutaneous fat, intermuscular fat, and bone. Final pH, instrumental color (L*, a*, b*), carcass measurements, and kidney knob and pelvic fat were also determined. Samples of LM were taken from the lumbar and thoracic cuts for intramuscular and meat quality determinations. At 72 h postmortem, a sample of LM was used for cooking losses and Warner-Bratzler shear force determination. Suckling lambs had greater dressing proportion than suckling kids (P < 0.01). Carcass fatness was not affected by species (P > 0.05), but females had greater kidney knob and pelvic fat proportion than males (P < 0.01). Lambs had greater proportions of the highly valued leg cut and lower proportions of shoulder, anterior rib, and neck cuts than kids. Dissection results indicated that kid carcasses had greater muscle content and lower dissected fat and bone than lambs. Kids had greater (P < 0.001) muscle ultimate pH value than lambs (5.8 ± 0.02 vs. 5.6 ± 0.02). Males had greater (P < 0.05) muscle ultimate pH value than females (5.7 ± 0.02 vs. 5.6 ± 0.02). The kid meat was significantly lighter (P < 0.05) and less yellow (P < 0.001) than the lamb meat. Kids presented less cooking losses (P < 0.001) than lambs, and shear force value was significantly greater (P < 0.01) in lamb meat. The kid meat had significantly more moisture (P < 0.001) and less intramuscular fat content (P < 0.001) than lambs. At this maturity stage, there were significant differences on both carcass and meat quality attributes of suckling kids and lambs, possibly due to inherent differences between species.

“…Moreover, LES and Afar had comparable (P > 0.05) lean : fat and meat : bone ratios but CHG had a lower meat : bone (P < 0.001) and wider (P < 0.001) lean : fat ratio. The effect of genotype on the different ratios was also reported by Dhanda et al (1999a) andGetahun (2001). Carcass composition (ribs 9 -11 th ) of Zaraibi yearling goats fed different concentrate to roughage ratios (El-Gallad et al, 1988) was 69.3 -75.0, 5.0 -12.6, 16.1 -20.0, 4.3 -5.1 % and 3.8 -5.2 for lean, fat, bone, chemical fat and meat : bone ratio, respectively.…”

“…The findings agree with Hatendi et al (1992) and Mahgoub et al (2005) who reported that the initial slaughter groups had lower carcass fat values than the fed groups. Singh et al (1991) and Dhanda et al (1999a) also documented that the percentage of bone decreased significantly with age and weight.…”

“…On an EBW basis, LES had the highest value (P < 0.01). Literature reports indicated that DP in goats varies between 38 and 56% by breed, sex, age, weight and conformation (Anjaneyulu & Joshi, 1995;El Hag & El Shargi, 1996;Dhanda et al, 1999a;Getahun, 2001). According to Payne & Wilson (1999) the definition of DP that excludes edible offal, reduces the relative contribution of goat meat to the national meat supply.…”

Growth and carcass characteristics of three Ethiopian goat breeds, the Afar, Central Highland (CHG) and Long-eared Somali (LES) were evaluated using three grainless diets varying in concentrate:roughage ratios (diet 1 was 50:50, diet 2, 65:35 and diet 3, 80:20) under feedlot conditions. The roughage was native grass hay and the concentrate consisted of wheat bran and noug cake (Guizotia abyssinica). Seventy-two eight-month old intact male goats (24 per breed) were randomly allotted to the dietary treatments, fed for 126 days and slaughtered at an age of approximately 12 months. The LES had higher average daily gain (ADG), heavier slaughter, empty body (EBW) and carcass weights than Afar and CHG goats. Diet significantly affected ADG, but was similar on carcass traits except for dressing percentage (DP) on an EBW basis and some non-carcass components. The DP on an EBW basis was the highest on diet 1. Breed affected the DP, which ranged from 42.5 -44.6% and 54.3 -55.8% on slaughter weight and EBW basis, respectively. The LES had a greater buttock circumference and carcass compactness. The pH 24 varied between 5.61 -5.67 and chilling losses were between 2.5 and 3.1%. The physical carcass composition (8-10 th rib-cut) ranged from 72 -73, 6.9 -10.9 and 17.1 -20.2% for lean, fat and bone, respectively, and the fat content of the meat ranged from 10.3 -14.0%. Breed affected the weights of internal fat depots. The findings indicate that breed affected the carcass characteristics of the three Ethiopian goat breeds. _______________________________________________________________________________________
