Quality Examination of Young Bulls Carcasses According to EU Standards

Abstract

The quality of the carcassеs has been the subject of interest, for both primary production and meat industry. The classification of carcasses is conducted immediately after veterinary examination and weight of carcasses. This study examines the quality of 42 young cattle carcasses slaughtered in a slaughterhouse in Raška district, according to the standard (SEUROP) that is applied in EU countries but has not yet been applied in Serbia. Based on the estimated value and classification in class of the carcasses, it is possible to provide appropriate financial compensation to producers ie. owners of animals and thus stimulate them to produce the best quality animals for slaughter.

Kvalitet trupova zaklanih životinja je predmet interesovanja, kako primarne proizvodnje, tako i industrije mesa. Postupak klasiranja trupova odnosno pulutki sprovodi se u klanicama neposredno nakon veterinarskog pregleda i utvrđivanja mase trupa. U radu je ispitan kvalitet 42 trupa junadi, zaklanih u jednoj klanici u Raškom okrugu, prema standardu koji se primenjuje u zemljama Evropske Unije (SEUROP), a koji se još ne primenjuje u Srbiji. Nа osnovu procenjene vrednosti trupovа zаklаnih životinjа i rаzvrstаvаnjа u klаse, moguće je izvršiti odgovаrаjuću novčаnu nаdoknаdu proizvođаčima tj. vlаsnicima životinjа i na taj način ih stimulisati da proizvode što kvalitetnije životinje za klanje.
