The purpose of the research was to conduct a detailed analysis of the slaughter yield, tissue structure of the half-carcass, and carcass quality over a period of three consecutive years. The higher the proportion of muscle masses in the carcass or the dissected region, the higher the commercial value of the carcass [1]. Over the three years, experimental slaughter was carried out annually at an authorized slaughter point on crossbred males from both F1 generations and R1 generation. The slaughter yield recorded values exceeding 50% throughout the analyzed period, a result that places F1 and R1 crossbreeds slightly above the limit imposed by specialized literature regarding the slaughter yield of mixed or specialized breeds for meat production. The carcass quality, specifically class R concerning conformation and class 3H regarding fat distribution on the carcass surface, together with the obtained slaughter yield value, are encouraging results for further research to consolidate and improve a population of sheep specialized in meat production, starting from the Karakul of Botosani reform females.
