Horse carcass and meat quality — current knowledge and research gaps
Article (Published version)

Show full item recordAbstract
Horsemeat can be considered a good alternative for conventional meats due to its potential
dietetic and health benefits linked with its specific nutritional composition. The aim of this
review was to provide information on the carcass and meat quality of horses, as well as meth‑
ods for their examination based on currently available scientific literature in order to expand
knowledge in this field and determine the direction of future research. The most important
horse carcass quality indicators are the carcass conformation and carcass fat cover, while the
most important horsemeat quality traits are pH, colour, water‑holding capacity and texture.
However, more research is needed to establish a classification system for horse carcasses as
well as threshold values for colour and water‑holding capacity traits that might be used for
horsemeat classification into quality classes.
