“…Barboza et al. (2019), working with the same animals as in the present study, also did not see any effect of diet on hepatic glycogen in sheep. The lack of influence of diet on pH may help to explain why there was no effect on the CL and WHC of sheep meat.…”

“…The carcass pH was not influenced by the treatments, possibly due to the similarity in the muscular glycogen level of the sheep submitted to different diets.

The lack of influence of diet on pH may help to explain why there was no effect on the CL and WHC of sheep meat.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the total or partial replacement of Tifton 85 hay (TH) by cassava foliage hay (CH) and/or spineless cactus (SC) on the carcass characteristics and meat quality of confined lambs. Thirty-five Dorper x Santa Inês crossbred lambs were used, with an initial average weight of 16.0 ± 1.9 kg, fed with five treatment diets: 70% TH, 70% CH, 35% TH + 35% CH, 35% TH + 35% SC, and 35% CH + 35% SC. After 90 days of confinement, the animals were slaughtered and the carcass and meat data were compared using the Tukey test at 5%. The partial replacement of TH by SC increased the cold carcass weight by 3.9 kg (p < .05). The proportion of fat (%) increased (p < .05) when TH was replaced by CH + SC. The intensity of red (a*) was lower (p < .05
