- Abstract
A comparative analysis of meat quality traits at different segmented parts of small-tailed Han sheep was conducted. The results showed that drip losses of back and tendon were obviously lower than those at other parts (P<0.05). Cooking loss of tendon was significantly lower than that at other parts (P<0.05). The shearing force of hind leg was obviously lower than that at other parts (P<0.05). The flesh color of waist was significantly lower than that at other parts (P<0.05). Crude protein contents in forelegs, hind leg and back were remarkably higher than that in waist (P<0.05). The crude fat content of the waist was significantly higher than that of other parts (P<0.05). To sum up, due to low shearing force, meat quality of hind leg was tender just with slightly low crude fat content; crude fat content of waist was high, so flavor of waist was good. The correlation coefficients of flesh color with crude fat and shearing force were -0.425 and 0.176, respectively, and the correlation coefficients of cooking loss with crude protein and drip loss were 0.272 and 0.179, respectively.
