This study was conducted to determine some slaughter and carcass characteristics of Simmental male cattle in a private slaughterhouse in Kırıkkale province. The pre-salughter age and pre-slaughter weights of Simmental male cattles were detected as average 16.91 months of age and average 628.92 kg. Hot and cold dressing percentages were determined as 58.81% and 57.66%, respectively in the study. While the area of M. Longissimus dorsi (MLD) was detected as 98.19 cm2; the back fat thickness value was 0.64 cm. According to findings related to carcass measurements, it was seen that carcass length, chest depth, buttock length and buttock width values were 205.77 cm, 73.55 cm, 63.42 cm and 65.48, respectively. This study was important terms of Simmental cattle production in Kırıkkale province. Thereby, it can be predicted that the results of the present study will provide a data archive for further studies.

Öz

Bu çalışma Kırıkkale ilinde sığır kesimlerinin yapıldığı özel bir et kombinasında kesilen Simental ırkı erkek tosunların bazı kesim ve karkas özelliklerinin ortaya konulması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada Simental ırkı erkek tosunların ortalama 16,91 aylık yaşta kesime sevk edildikleri ve kesim öncesi canlı ağırlık ortalamalarının ise 628,92 kg olduğu belirlenmiştir. Simental ırkı tosunlar için sıcak ve soğuk karkas randımanı değerleri sırasıyla %58,81 ve %57,66 olarak belirlenmiştir. M. longissimus dorsi (MLD) kesit alanı ise 98,19 cm2 olurken; kabuk yağı kalınlığı ise 0,64 cm olarak tespit edilmiştir. Simental karkasları üzerinde yapılan ölçümler değerlendirildiğinde; karkas uzunluğu, göğüs derinliği, but uzunluğu ve but genişliği değerlerinin sırasıyla 205,77 cm, 73,55 cm, 63,42 cm ve 65,48 cm olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışmanın, Kırıkkale ilinde Simental ırkının verim performansının değerlendirebilmesi açısından önemli olacağı ve dolayısıyla sonraki araştırmalar için de önemli bir veri niteliğinde olacağı öngörülmektedir.
