Qualitative Characteristics of Mutton Obtained from Animals with Different Bioenergy Profile

Food security is one of the components of the stable economic development. Its main criteria are: availability and safety of raw materials and products of its processing for the population. Ensuring food security in Russia is possible only on the basis of innovative development of the agro-industrial complex and introduction of new methods based on the knowledge of physiology of productive animals into practice. In this regard, a promising direction is a study of product quality assessment using a bioelectric profile of superficially localized biologically active centers on the skin of sheep. Determination of meat qualities was carried out on young sheep at the age of 6-7 months old. Topographic search and measurement of the bioelectric potential level of SLBAC was carried out with an ELAP device. As a result of the studies, it was found out that at values of the bioelectric potential level of SLBAC from 58.2 μA and higher, the quality indicators of meat content are high. The correlation dependence threshold of the bioelectric potential level of SLBAC and the meat content is from +0.12 to 1.0. The bioelectric profile level of SLBAC can serve as a test for a live-animal assessment of the qualitative composition of mutton, with sufficient information content and meat producibility assessment.
