Abstract

The production systems of goats are very diversified in Brazil. Animals produced in feedlot systems tend to be located on highly prized land with high potential for agriculture. On the other hand, animals produced under extensive systems are usually located in marginal areas, with poor conditions for agriculture. In this context, caprine production plays a significant socioeconomic role, contributing to the biodiversity of the Caatinga biome, which covers 60% of the Northeast region. The influence of the genotype on the components of live weight and carcass depends on the difference in maturity between the breeds. According to breed aptitude, different values can be found for the carcass composition and the influence of some components of live weight decreases as the breed specializes for meat production. The objective of this review is to explain the main carcass characteristics and qualitative attributes of goat meat.
