NUTRITIVE VALUE OF MEAT PRODUCED BY BLACK-SPOTTED YOUNG CATTLE AS DEPENDENT ON ANIMALS' SEX, AGE AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION
The nutritive value and peculiarities of meat productivity formation in young Black-Spotted cattle depending on animals' sex, age and physiological condition have been studied. In the course of studying the chemical composition of carcass flesh the common regularity, i.e. increase of dry matter and fat and decrease of moisture with age has been revealed. A detailed comparative evaluation of biological value of meat from young cattle is given which is a significant contribution to improvement of the theory and practice of increasing the quality of beef obtained from dairy cattle. Pre-requisites for the development of scientific substantiation of perspective systems and resource saving technologies of young cattle growing and fattening by means of using local fodder are suggested. All this is the basis for traditional practices of animal breeding improvement and for the development of new technologies in order to a more complete use of their biological capacities.
