Abstract:

The meat quality related indexes and nutrient content in yak meat from Gannan were studied, and compared with the meat of yellow cattle. Results showed that the content of dry matters were 23.19% higher than those in the local yellow cattle meat, and the content of protein was 6.14% higher, ash 12.5% higher, total amino acid 13.38% higher, essential amino acids 10.88% higher than those in the local yellow cattle meat. However, the fat content was 13.54% less than in the local yellow cattle meat.

Key words: Gannan, yak, meat quality characteristics, amino acid
