Abstract

Intensity of fat deposition and its relationship to age and type of fat distribution in the body of Simmental and crossbred animals were studied. It is known that the main biological role of adipose tissue is synthesis, accumulation and storage of significant reserves of energy in form of triglycerides. However, different research results indicate that adipose tissue is not static and inert. Moreover, being an important factor in maintaining homeostasis in the body, it actively participates in metabolism. At the same time, the two totally different processes operate in parallel in adipose tissue: its synthesis and breakdown. In this regard, the question arises: Does adipose tissue respond only to the needs of an open living system, regulated by factors outside it? or: Is adipose tissue capable of generating signals that could ensure energy flow into it and energy assimilation by influencing brain and endocrine system? The comparative analysis of fat deposition level in various body parts showed that there were differences in correlation between accumulation and localization of fat among experimental animals. In addition, there are age-related features in deposition of adipose tissue. In British meat breeds, these age features pass faster than in French meat breeds. Based on the results of the studies, analysis of the morphological composition of carcasses was carried out, as well as other components were determined and appropriate conclusions were drawn.
