The Pinzgau breed is a local breed formed in the environmental conditions of the mountainous area of Apuseni and Bucovina. A late breed, resistant to specific cattle diseases, it makes good use of natural meadows. Unfortunately due to excessive cross-breeding it is in danger of disappearing. The breed has a modest milk production, at the same time it has major udder defects, which is why it is not suitable for mechanical milking. Under these conditions, we studied the readiness of the breed for meat production using the "meat cow" technology, where the heifers are kept with the calves next to them, from calving to weaning, the period when the calves suck all the milk of the mother. Our studies showed that the young male achieves, up to the age of slaughter (181), an average body weight of 410 kg, a slaughter yield of 54-56% and an average daily gain of 700 g. From the point of view of the quality of the carcasses, assessed by the EUROP method, they have a superior quality, falling into the R, O+ category, with a level of good meat dressing of the body regions and a reduced meat dressing in fat (2). After analyzing the results obtained regarding the growth rate of the youth, the yield at slaughter and the quality of the carcasses, we can conclude that the Pinzgau de Transilvania breed lends itself to meat production using the "meat cow" technology with real chances of relaunching the breed in the years following.References
