ABSTRACT

Background: Research and development in animal husbandry is receiving increasing attention as society continues to develop and as consumer awareness of the nutritional value of livestock products, information about their sources and the importance of production systems and environmental impacts increases. In this context, research on the production performance, slaughtering performance and meat quality of Qinghai plateau-type yak, as a rare and important livestock resource, has become essential and the market demand for high-quality yak meat products has increased significantly.

Methods: 10 yaks of 3, 4 and 5 months of age were selected at the same feeding level and 3 yaks of different months of age were randomly selected for slaughtering to determine the routine performance and meat quality and to evaluate them. 

Result: The results showed that the pH of Qinghai Plateau-type yak meat differed significantly (P<0.05) among yaks of different ages. There was a significant difference in the ash content of the longest dorsal muscle of yaks with increasing months of age (P<0.05) and the water content of yak meat at 5 months of age decreased significantly (P<0.05). The difference in arm triceps muscle was more significant (P<0.05) in yaks of different months of age. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in drip loss rate and moisture content of other parts of different months of age.

INTRODUCTION

The Tibetan Plateau is rich in biological and cultural diversity and due to the harsh climatic environment, the availability of rangeland is highly variable, with sparse and poor-quality vegetation. For example, in terms of dry matter, winter biomass in the Tibetan Plateau region averages 750 kg/hm and crude protein content is 6.2% (Jing et al., 2022). As a native herbivore living at an altitude of 3000 m~5000 m, the yak is highly adaptable to the unique ecological environment of the plateau and is known as the “Boat of the Plateau” (Bai et al., 2023).
       
The quality of yak meat is not only affected by the feeding method, feed nutrition level and environment, but is also closely related to the growth stage of yaks (Li et al., 2018). In general, the average beef cow is usually slaughtered and marketed during a 12 to 24-month intensive holding period. However, due to the uniqueness of the yak’s living environment, which is different from that of ordinary beef cattle, its age at slaughter lacks a uniform standard and can vary from less than 2 years old to more than 10 years old (Edwards-Callaway, 2020). This age difference directly affects the quality of yak meat (Hu et al., 2021). It was shown that there were some differences in slaughter performance and meat quality of Red River Yellow cattle at different months of age (Yu et al., 2022). In an analysis of meat quality of Charolais heifers of various months of age, At a slaughter monthly age of 26 months, increasing carcass weight affects neither meat traits nor normal characteristics (Ellies-Oury et al., 2017). Increasing carcass weight at a slaughter month age of 36 months resulted in decreased muscle shear and a concomitant decrease in total collagen content (Li et al., 2018). It was found that the slaughtering performance and meat quality of Penang Rivermale buffaloes changed significantly with age. Meat yield and carcass yield, on the other hand, increased gradually with age and were 34.58%~38.59% and 62.95%~75.34%, respectively.
       
In response to the diversified and individualized demands for beef in the current market, this experiment took Qinghai plateau-type yaks as the research object. By analyzing the production and slaughtering performance of yaks of different months of age, the meat quality of yaks of different months of age was comprehensively evaluated. Physiological indexes, conventional nutrients and amino acid fractions were also comprehensively evaluated to evaluate the quality of yaks of Qinghai plateau-type to provide scientific bases for their production practice.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Place and time of the work
 
The entire work was carried out during March 2023 to August 2023 at Bianma Meilong Palm Cooperative conducted in Qilian County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. Its post-testing and experimental process was completed in the College of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science of Qinghai University.

Differences in amino acid composition and content of qinghai plateau-type yaks of different monthly ages
 
Table 6 shows that 19 standard amino acids, including 7 essential amino acids and 6 fresh flavor amino acids, were detected in Qinghai Plateau-type yak meat of different ages. Among them, the yak of the 3, 4 and 5months groups had significantly higher in the meat of yak of the 3 and 4months again content of GLU and HYP than that of the 5months age(P<0.05). With increasing age, the contents of essential amino acids and fresh flavor amino acids were higher in 3-month-old and 4-month-old yak meat than in 5-month-old yak meat. The contents of non-essential amino acids were significantly higher in 3-month-old yak meat than in 5-month-old yak meat and did not differ significantly from those in 4-month-old yak meat (P>0.05). The content of essential amino acids was significantly higher in 3-month-old yak meat than in 5-month-old yak meat but was less different from that in 4-month-old yak meat (P>0.05).

Analysis of growth performance and slaughter performance indexes of qinghai plateau-type yaks of different months of age
 
Body weight is an important phenotypic trait in livestock selection and breeding, while slaughter performance is an important indicator for evaluating their production performance (Hu et al., 2021). In this experiment, it was found that there were significant differences in body weight, carcass weight, net meat weight, as well as head mass and skin mass of Qinghai Plateau-type yaks at different stages of age and the magnitude of their variations was also large, mainly in 3-month-old and 4-month-old yaks. Diler Aet (Diler et al., 2023) It was shown that pre-slaughter live weight, carcass weight and shear strength of Holstein bulls differed significantly among months of age. The present experimental study showed that for yaks, all the indexes of slaughter performance showed a trend of gradual increase with increasing age, which is consistent with the results of the above study. Ustuner Het (Ustuner et al., 2020) The results of the study showed that the growth rate of imported Simmental cattle varied greatly among different months of age and it was found that the growth rate of 3~12 month old Simmental cattle was significantly faster than that of 12~24 month old yaks. The present experimental study showed that three and four months of age carcasses had significant differences in body weights and 3, 4 and 5 months of age yaks had significant differences in head, hide and bone mass, which varied considerably with the increase in months of age. Moreover, the skin quality of 4-month-old yaks was highly significantly different from that of 3-month-old and 5-month-old yaks, suggesting that the rapid increase in the skin quality of yaks, as livestock in the cold regions of the high plateau, better adapts them to the local environment. Wang Yet (Wang et al., 2020) The study showed that by comparing the growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of yellow, Simmental and yak cattle at different months of age, it was found that Simmental cattle had higher growth performance and carcass characteristics; higher meat protein content in yellow and yak cattle.
 
Analysis of conventional nutrient composition and trace element content of qinghai plateau-type yak meat of different months of age
 
Yak meat known as the "crown of beef", is a semi-wild natural green food, rich in protein and amino acids, as well as carotene, calcium, phosphorus and other trace elements, low-fat content, high calories, to enhance the body¢s resistance to disease, cellular vitality and organ function have a significant role (Wen et al., 2020). Yak meat is characterized by high protein, low fat, low calorie and rich in various amino acids (Peng Shuai, 2019). It is elastic in the mouth and has a more flavorful meat taste (Li et al., 2023). Nogo yet (Nogoy et al., 2022) The study¢s results showed that the fat content of grass-fed beef averaged 8.10%, the fat content of the longest dorsal muscle averaged 20.27% and the protein content of the longest dorsal muscle averaged 26.82%. The present experimental study showed that the average fat content and the average protein content of the longest dorsal muscle of 3, 4 and 5 month-old yaks were lower than those of grass-fed cattle, suggesting that there are some differences in the nutrient content of yak and beef meat, which may be related to their environments as well as their roles. With Corino, (Corino et al., 2022) There were also some differences in the reported protein content of Charolais beef cattle. In Orquera-Arguero, (Orquera-Arguero et al., 2023) the results of the study, it was found that the protein content in Holstein beef was lower at 12 months of age than at 15 months of age and 18 months of age, which was contrary to the results of the content in yak meat of different months of age, which might be related to the lesser variability of the age of yak cows in terms of month and also depended on the yak meat¢s inherent low-fat content may also depend on the low-fat content of yak meat itself.
 
Analysis of meat quality of Qinghai plateau-type yak meat of different months of age
 
Different breeds, sexes and ages all have important effects on the meat production performance and meat quality of cattle (Prajwal et al., 2019). The results showed that there were significant differences in quality, pH, shear and drip loss rate of beef at all ages. Moisture in conventional nutrients can reflect the tenderness of meat products to some extent, but indicators such as drip loss rate and shear force are more direct (Karaca and Arik, 2016). In this study, the shear force became larger with increasing age in months, with the best tenderness at 3 months of age with minimum shear force and maximum shear force at 5 months of age, which is consistent with the fact that Vsanteet (VSante, 2001) The results of the study the older the cow, the greater the shear force and the less consistent the tenderness of the meat. It is amply demonstrated that age is one of the most important factors affecting beef and therefore extra care should be taken in the production of cattle as well as in the kidding process. pH can directly reflect the intensity of glycogenolysis, but also one of the most important indicators for evaluating the quality of beef and has a certain effect on the tenderness, palatability, meat color and flavor of the meat (Sullivan 2011). In the present study, the dorsal longest muscle pH values of 4-month-old yaks were significantly different relative to those of 3 and 5-month-old yaks. The pH values of the muscles in the three sites of the longest dorsal muscle, the biceps femoris and the triceps brachii were acidic, which is in line with the results of Ramoset (Ramos et al., 2022) The results of the study of pH values in different parts of muscles of Nellore cattle were consistent.
       
Beef color is the first impression people have of the purchased beef. In the normal range of variation, it does not affect the nutritional value of the meat. However, sensory judgment and purchasing decisions play an essential role in the decision and are, therefore, important indicators of the quality of beef (Modzelewska-Kapitu³a M, 2021). Beef color is related to animal breed, sex, age and nutritional status. It refers to the apparent phenomenon of a series of physiological and biochemical changes in beef(Orquera-Arguero et al., 2023). From the analysis of the results, it can be seen that there is a tendency for the degree of redness to increase and the degree of yellowness to decrease with the age of the month, but the degree of brightness also tends to vary with the age of the month, depending on the part; this is consistent with the fact that (Saleem Usman Muhammad, 2019). The results of studies such as:
 
Analysis of amino acid composition and content of qinghai Plateau-type yak meat at different monthly ages:
 
It has been found that GLU and ASP have a direct correlation with meat quality and freshness of muscle and that GLU has a contributing effect on improving intelligence; Glutamine and ASP are both necessary in the body for the metabolism of proteins and sugars and both substances reduce blood ammonia in the body, thus acting as organ protectors (Li et al., 2023). In addition, Lys can be involved in the oxidation of fatty acids together with Metand, which is well known to promote animal growth and improve the nervous system (Duah et al., 2023). This study found that the amino acids ASP, GLU and Lys were more abundant in the muscles of all Qinghai Plateau-type yaks. In addition, the FAO/WHO standard defines the ideal protein pattern as 40% essential amino acids/total amino acids and 40% essential amino acids/non-essential amino acids, respectively. In this experiment, the essential amino acids/total amino acids and essential amino acids/non-essential amino acids of all muscle parts of yaks were higher than the FAO/WHO standard, indicating that Qinghai Plateau-type yak meat contains amino acid species in line with human nutritional requirements and is a high-quality, high-grade beef. Ge Fet (Ge et al., 2023) The study results showed that the highest content of the essential amino acid Lys, followed by Leu and the lowest by Met was found in the Chinese native cattle breed Yunling cattle. GLU had the highest content among the non-essential amino acids, followed by ASP. This is consistent with the fact that the difference in the content of essential and non-essential amino acids in yak beef is slight and the difference in non-essential amino acids between yak and Yunling beef may be related to their breeds and ages.

CONCLUSION

With the increase of age in months, 4-month-old yaks had the fastest growth rate and their carcass weight, tare weight and net meat weight were significantly different from those of 3-month-old and 5-month-old yaks. Drip loss rate and pH for meat quality traits differed significantly in 4-month-old yaks.GLU and HYP content in 3- and 4-month-old yak meat was significantly higher than in 5-month-old yaks. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the management of yak breeding and also provide a reference for further optimization of breeding strategies and improvement of yak quality.
