Abstract
The study involved 20 carcasses of 120-day-old ram lambs of Pomeranian coarse-haired sheep from a farm located in the alluvial land of the West Pomeranian Province and kept under an extensive feeding and management system. The study consisted in the determination of the slaughter value of carcasses and the quality of meat from shoulder, loin and leg through the determination of the chemical composition, physicochemical and sensory attributes. On the basis of the performed analysis it was found that the index of dressing percentage of the assessed lambs under an extensive feeding and management system amounted to about 41% and that meat was of good quality.
