Qualidade da carcaça e remuneração por qualidade nos frigoríficos brasileiros

Abstract

The objective of this study was to review the literature on the published works studying the qualitative characteristics of housing systems and analyze the bonus of carcasses according to quality. To do this we reviewed the Brazilian studies on carcass quality and the factors that influence it, comparing results obtained in studies by several authors in different components that affect the production of quality meat. Were also reviewed and analyzed the alliances made between abattoir and producer through a bonus for the heavier animals while young. Subsidies paid to producers are related to the maturity of the animal and carcass weight, and serve as incentive for improvements in the production system for beef cattle. The conclusions of the study are related to the evaluation of interest-carcasses and values from the sale of commercial cuts of young animals with different slaughter weights.
