INFLUENCE EXERTED BY GRAZING OF GRAMINACEOUS AND PERENNIAL LEGUME ASSOCIATION ON MEAT QUALITY AND SEROLOGICAL INDICES IN YOUNG SHEEP

Abstract

Pasture associations, consisted of graminaceous and perennial legume species, represent a balanced forage for young sheep, because they generate a high-quality meat and an optimal level of the serological indices. In this viewpoint, legume species contribute to the achievement of superior quality indices of the animal-based products.
