Influence of breed and feeding on the main quality characteristics of sheep carcass and meat: A review

This paper reviews two factors (breed and feed) affecting the carcass and meat quality of sheep. The quality of livestock products has acquired greater importance from the distinct perspectives of the different participants in the agricultural food chain. Consumers, producers and the industry give d...

description	This paper reviews two factors (breed and feed) affecting the carcass and meat quality of sheep.
