Özet

Red-Karaman (n = 24) and Tushin (n = 24) male fat-tailed lambs were allocated to three groups and were fed basic diet plus dried alfalfa (Group 1), barley grain plus dried alfalfa hay (Group II) and oat grain plus dried alfalfa hay (Group III) for 6 weeks before slaughter. Longissimus and Semimembranosus samples were removed from each carcass and examined by a sensory panel of 10 individuals. Red Karaman lambs had larger Longissimus area values than Tushin lambs. Dressing percentage in groups I, H and III were 52.40 +/- 0.62%, 50.57 +/- 0.61%, and 49.27 +/- 0.63%, respectively (P < 0.05). Samples from Tushin fat-tailed lambs had higher (P < 0.05) acceptability scores than those of Red Karaman and less (P < 0.05) intense mutton flavor than the other genotype x diet experimental groups. The effects of breed and diet on the other chemical, physical and organoleptic traits investigated in this study were not significant.
