Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the centesimal composition of different meat cuts of male horses. Samples of the deltoid, Longissimus dorsi and Biceps femoris were collected at a slaughterhouse in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Analyzes of moisture, lipids, protein and ashes were carried out. The averages found ranged from 77.90 to 78.54% for moisture, from 1.07 to 1.19% for lipids, from 18.39 to 20.64% for protein and from 1.12 to 1.77% for There were no significant differences between the different flesh sections. It was concluded, therefore, that the equine meat presented low lipid content and high humidity and protein, being considered a lean meat.
