Sažetak

The aim of this study was to determine water-holding capacity (thawing loss – TL and cooking loss – CL) and tenderness (Warner-Bratzler shear force, WBSF) of meat of Posavina horse breed considering sex, age at slaughter and aging period. Altogether, 12 animals of Posavina horse breed (6 males and 6 females) were involved in the study. The average age of the animals was 18 months and ranged from six to 36 months. Muscle samples for the analysis were taken from the M. longissimus dorsi of each carcass after the aging period of 14 days and 28 days. Water-holding capacity and tenderness of meat of Posavina horse breed were analyzed using the SAS/STAT software package version 9.4. The mean values for TL, CL, and WBSF were 8.41%, 19.24%, and 26.04 N, respectively. The results showed that TL, CL, and WBSF of meat of Posavina horse breed are not significantly affected by sex, slaughter age or aging period (p>0.05). This study gave a new insight into the meat quality traits of Posavina horse breed which could contribute to further necessary research to complete an understanding of horse meat quality.
