Abstract
Abstract.The influence of slaughter mass and sex of the animals on chosen slaughter traits, physical and chemical traits of Semimembranosus muscles of 105 crossbreeds were analyzed in the paper. The increase of slaughter mass positively influenced the traits connected to slaughter value both for bulls and heifers. It resulted in decrease of R factor value and meat acidity. Examined Semimembranosus muscle originating from heavier animals had decreased water holding capacity and increased fat rate, bigger dry mass and higher class of marbling With heifers, in spite of lower values, similar tendencies of traits formation were observed as those for bulls. The fibres diameter was increasing accordingly to the increase of slaughter mass and it was biggest with bulls.
