Quality of sheep meat in silvopastoral meadows

Key Points

• The study aims to compare the quality of meat from semi-extensively raised sheep and lambs against those from intensive systems.
• Conducted comparative studies on meat quality between different rearing systems.
• Analyzed factors affecting meat quality in sheep and lambs from diverse environments.
• Utilized sensory and chemical analysis to assess meat characteristics.
• Semi-extensively reared sheep exhibited higher meat quality attributes.
• Grass-fed sheep showed superior flavor and tenderness compared to intensive system counterparts.
• The differences suggest that rearing system impacts meat quality significantly.
