Abstract

(LT) muscle in lambs. Used were 22 female and 30 male lambs of Polish Longwool sheep from two slaughter weight groups: I – 15-20 kg and II – 25-30 kg. LT muscle samples were taken to categorize fibre types (I, IIA and IIB) according to their NADH-tetrazolium reductase activity and to determine the pH
