Meat physical and chemical characteristics of Nellore (NE) and F1 Nellore x Sindi (NS) cattle and Mediterranean buffaloes (BM) castrated and entire were evaluated. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial arrangement 3 (genetic groups) x 2 (sexual conditions) with 24 plots. Animals were confined, received the same diet and were slaughtered at average weight of 437.5 kg. Meat samples were taken from Longissimus dorsi muscle between 12th and 13th ribs. Castrated and entire animals meat obtained higher […]
