36个年轻的育肥公牛从三个品种（比利时蓝，利木赞和阿伯丁安格斯）育肥超过5个月的育肥饮食的基础上，无论是糖甜菜浆或谷物。测定肥育性能、胴体和肉质特性。饲料对参数的相关影响很少。这些品种也表现出类似的增肥特征。而BB的出壳率较高，其胴体在形态和肥育方面表现较好。不同品种的肉质不同，特别是在发光度，红色和烹饪损失方面。品种对肉的化学成分也有显着影响，脂肪含量最低的比利时蓝和最高的阿伯丁安格斯。这种特异性可以帮助分配品种在适当的利基在比利时。
Thirty-six young fattening bulls from three breeds (Belgian Blue, Limousin and Aberdeen Angus) were fattened over 5 months with fattening diets based either on sugar-beet pulp or on cereals. Fattening performance as well as carcass and meat characteristics were measured. There were few relevant effects of the diets on the parameters. The breeds also showed similar fattening features. However, the BB had higher killing-out proportion and their carcasses presented better scores in terms of conformation and fattening. The meat quality of the breeds differed, especially in terms of luminosity, redness and cooking losses. There were also significant influences of breed on the chemical composition of meat; fat content was lowest in Belgian Blue and highest in Aberdeen Angus. Such specificities could help to allocate breeds in appropriate niches in Belgium.
