Gât Golaș de Transylvania breed (GGT) is part of Romania's genetic patrimony. Economic inequality compared to other similar genetic structures causes an unprecedented numerical decrease and breed entry into a vulnerable area. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the meat sensory qualities of the GGT breed compared to other genetic types under identical conditions of feeding and housing.
Meat sensory traits, in terms of appearance, taste, smell, consistency, softness were estimated in GGT breed, F1 hybrid with GGT and a commercial hybrid. Sensory analysis was performed on heat-cooked meat in three ways: boiled, roasted, and baked. According to results of analysis, study participants noted the special meat qualities of the GGT breed, well superior to other genetic types.
