Caracterización de variables a la faena de novillos Wagyu puros o cruza con Angus, Hereford y Holando

The objective of this work was to characterize the variables at the slaughter of pure Wagyu steers and crosses with Angus, Hereford and Holando. The database of the study consisted of 59 animals that were slaughtered in the Casa Blanca Refrigerator (FRICASA) in Paysandú. For the statistical study, analysis of variance was performed and the data was analyzed using the MIXED procedure of the SAS program. The results determined that the pure Wagyu animals were those that presented higher levels of BMS, and lower levels of EGS, which allowed to verify the hypotheses. In turn, it was verified that the crosses with Angus allow to achieve BMS levels close to those of pure Wagyu, but maintaining levels of intramuscular fat deposition higher than the same.
