Objective of our research was to determine the correlation between quantity of meat, fat and bones in carcass with same tissues in three rib cut and quantity of muscle tissue in carcass with surface of M. longissimus dorsi. Investigation was carried out on male fattening young bulls of Domestic Spotted breed of average weight prior to slaughtering of 503 kg, and by total dissection total quantity of muscle, fat and bone tissue in carcass was determined. Correlation between mass of muscle tissue in carcass and mass of muscle tissue in three rib cut of carcasses weighing in average 284 kg was r=O.69, which means strong and positive. Correlation coefficient between mass of fat and bone tissue in carcass and mass of fat and bone tissue in three rib cut for same group was r=0.65 for fat tissue and r=0.53 for bone tissue. Correlation between mass of muscle tissue in carcass of average mass of 284 kg and cross section surface of M. longissimus dorsi on cut of 11. rib was r=0.80.
