Abstract

In this study the authors compared the slaughtering characteristics of Hungarian Merino and lie de France sheep with their S/EUROP classification results. They established that the classification system presently used is well-suited for application in the evaluation of carcass commercial value, but at the same time also point out errors in this system. The development and introduction of a new, more objective method is recommended.
