Abstract

This PhD thesis is part of a research project (INIA, RTA 2012-00090-C03-01) entitled “Influence of cross breeding with Burguete on the productive parameters and characteristics of the carcass and meat of the Galician foal. Ageing and commercial life of the meat” focused on the preservation of the Galician Mountain breed by crossing with Burguete foals. The general objective of the present PhD thesis was to study the quality along the foal meat production chain by means of the use of the carcass and the meat from 46 Galician Mountain x Burguete crossbred foals (GMxB foals).
