Comparative researches performed on carcasses of hybrid lambs obtained by simple industrial crossing and carcasses of parental breeds take into evidence the following: - the slaughter and commercial yield has values between 3.93-11.72 per cent higher with LC x MP hybrid and between 3.54-9.17 per cent higher with MF x MT hybrid when compared to maternal and paternal breeds; - the tissue composition displays with hybrid lambs a low fat percentage ranging from 4.47 to 9.17 per cent and high meat percentage of 67.19-68.56 per cent. The LC x MP hybrid had the least fat contents for 1 kg of meat, 0.065 kg respectively, also correlated with the least content of fatness, 4.75-5.05 per cent, assessed through chemical composition of meat.
