This experiment was conducted by using male White Lamphun and 50% crossbred Brahman, 8 heads per group. The average initial age was 1 year 4 months and 1 year 3 months, respectively. They were fed ad libitum with Pangola grass which were cut every 40-50 days. At the average weight of 275-320 kg, they were slaughtered and dressed in both Thai and USDA meat cutting styles. The result revealed that the carcass quality was not significantly different (p>0.05). For Thai style cutting, Semimembranosus and brisket percentage of White Lamphun were significantly higher than that of Brahman crossbred (p<0.05). The meat quality in terms of moisture percentage and triglyceride content of White Lamphun beef was lower (p<0.001) but the insoluble and total collagen content were higher (p<0.001) compared to Brahman crossbred. In addition, the boiling loss percentage of White Lamphun was lower than that of Brahman crossbred (p<0.05). In conclusion, the carcass quality was not significantly different (p>0.05) between cattle breeds fed with Pangola grass. Therefore, the promotion of rearing native cattle could be an alternative for farmers.
