Abstract | Context In Turkey, meat production contributes much more income than mohair production in Angora goat farming. Castration is expected to alter the meat quality depending on the slaughter weight. Aims This study was designed to determine the quality characteristics and fatty acid composition of meat from intact and castrated male Angora goat kids slaughtered at different liveweights. Methods Forty-eight single male Angora goat kids (24 intact, 24 castrated) were slaughtered at three slaughter weights (20, 25 and 30kg) after being fattened intensively. Response variables were meat physical quality characteristics, chemical composition, total cholesterol and fatty acid profile. Data were subjected to analysis of variance using the general linear model procedure. Key results Colour parameters (L *, a *, b *, C * and H *), pH, water-holding capacity and cooking loss were significantly (P P >0.05) these properties. L * values decreased (P P P P P P longissimus thoracis muscle showed increased polyunsaturated fatty acids (P P P P P Conclusions Castration of Angora male kids did not affect meat quality, but increased protein and intramuscular fat content of the longissimus thoracis muscle. Increasing slaughter weight positively influenced fatty acid composition pertinent to human health, but some measures indicated poorer meat quality. Implications Castration and slaughter weight did not greatly affect meat quality except for improvements in fatty acid percentages. |
