Morphological composition and organoleptic assessment of young horsemeat in Transbaikalia

The article presents the results of lethal qualities of thoroughbred transbaikalian young horses, half-blooded Yakut-Transbaikalian colts and hybrids of the first generation of Russian heavy horse at the age of 18 months. Horsemeat practically does not contain cholesterol compared with other types of meat, and this makes it dietary valuable - horsemeat possesses anti-sclerosis action. Changing the chemical composition of the carcasses of young horses in general is the subject of general biological regularities of post-embryonic development and it is connected with forming of meat productivity of horses. By results of studying of consumer properties it is determined that age influences organoleptic characteristics of meat, and to a greater extent the taste and smell, in broth - color (opacity) and flavor. It has been established that the received young horses combine the productive qualities of initial breeds and they grow faster and give more meat of better quality.
