In this examination, Hungarian Merino (ram n=30, ewe n=30), Hungarian Merino × Ile deFrance F1, and Hungarian Merino × Suffolk F1 (ram n=15, ewe n=15) lambs were used toevaluate the effect of crossbreeding on carcass characteristics and composition. Weexamined fattening performances and the following carcass traits: dressing percentage,weight of valuable carcass cuts, percentage of valuable meat, bone to meat ratio, and aswell as meat conformation and fat cover (S/EUROP grading). In the present investigation,the weight at slaughter was fixed between 31–32 kg approximately, thus ensuring, weightwould not affect carcass composition. Standardizing carcass weight allowed us to spotdifferences due to genotype and gender. The best results of fattening performanceshowed the Hungarian Merino × Ile de France F1 lambs (358 g/day). The tested crossedgenotypes had not greatly influence dressing percentage and warm carcass weight, butthe best percentage valuable carcass cuts had Hungarian Merino × Suffolk F1 (83.37 %).The best percentage of valuable meat presented (77.76 %) the Hungarian Merino × Ile deFrance F1 lambs. The best meat conformation and fat covered showed the HungarianMerino × Suffolk F1 lambs. Hungarian Merinos showed less favourable results. To thesummarising, the Suffolk and Ile de France improved the Hungarian Merino’s fatteningperformance, slaughter value and ability of market over 30 kg live weight, therefore therewere both breeds suggest with crossing
