Sažetak
From the World’s stand point production of sheep meat in Bosnia and Herzegovina is very low but in the same time very important for local market. It is mainly based on producing lambs that are the most common for spit roasting. There are few different sheep species dominated with local pramenka sheep improved crossbreed sheep, also, there are: “vlašićka”, “kupreška”, “privorska”, and “stolačka”. On the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, beside pramenka sheep there are varieties of improved Sjenica crossbreeds. However, the presence of modern, primarily meat breeds in Bosnia and Herzegovina is negligible. The main characteristic of the sheep husbandry in mentioned areas is production of unweaned slaughter lambs excluding fattening period, thus producing light and medium weight carcasses. The aim of this study was to determine carcass percentage and chilling loss, and the effect of preslaughter weight and sex on the slaughter traits of lambs. The slaughter weight of animals significantly affected (P<0.05) slaughter traits, while sex did not significantly affect the dressing percentage and chilling loss.
