A test slaughter and deboning of crossbred horses of three breeds: Mugalzhar, Zhaba, and Novoaltaisk. All stallions are young, 30 months old, taken directly from the herd. The main goal of the test slaughter is to determine which crossbred produces the most MEAT and is the most profitable for business.
Kazakh culinary traditions, meat testing, slaughter yield, and meat productivity are discussed.
This video shows the test slaughter and deboning of crossbred horses of three breeds: Mugalzhar, Kazakh Jabe, and Novoaltaisk. Kazakh culinary traditions, sanitary requirements , and the meat yield of each breed are discussed in detail.
Experts pay attention to sanitary standards, slaughter yield, and the meat-to-bone ratio. it is crucial that each animal undergoes a veterinary inspection before slaughter, as well as the meat after slaughter. Particular attention is paid to liver damage and echinococcus, which can be found on meat.
The video discusses Kazakh slaughter traditions—carcass cleanliness, proper blood removal, and boning. It brings to mind ancient methods of applying dough to the carcass to remove hair. Blood is separated into red and black—red is used for sausages and hematogen, while black is not used for food.
The cooking technique for meat is discussed separately. The first broth is always discarded, and the meat is cooked only in boiling water to ensure a clear soup. Bones contain collagen and gelatin, which are valuable for making broths.
Next, let's remember about weighing the half carcasses. The Novoaltaisk half carcass weighs 79.2 kg, with a meat yield of 84% and bone yield of 18%. The Mugalzhar half carcass weighs 73.3 kg, with a meat yield of 81.2% and bone yield of 17.3%. The Kazakh Jabe half carcass weighs 72.45 kg, with a meat yield of 82% and bone yield of 13.8%.
Scientists conclude: the Kazakh toad has the best meat-to-bone ratio, while the Novoaltaisk toad yields the most meat in absolute terms. The Mugalzhar toad ranks somewhere in the middle.
The slaughter yield is also shown. For the Zhaba, it's 55.2% at a live weight of 337 kg, for the Mugalzharskaya, 53.7% at 350 kg, and for the Novoaltayskaya, 52% at 379.5 kg. All results are above the standard of 50%. It's noted that according to Soviet standards, horse meat yield was 76%, while here, the figures exceed 80%.
Three breeds are compared using figures and examples: the Novoaltaisk breed has the heaviest half-carcass weight, the Zhabye breed has the best meat-to-bone ratio, and the Mugalzhar breed ranks somewhere in the middle. All results exceeded the norm and demonstrated high meat productivity. Experts conclude that these crossbreeds are promising for processing, producing kazy, sausages, and traditional Kazakh cuisine.
