This study was part of a project designed to assess the
quality and marketability of sheep meat produced in the
less favoured areas of the European Community
(Arsenos et al., 2000; Zygoyiannis et al., 1997, 1999).
The objective of the study was to assess, in a series of
Taste Panel Tests (TPT), the eating quality of lamb
meat of three indigenous Greek dairy breeds of sheep
reared under different nutritional management and
slaughtered at different live weights using standard
commercial procedures.
