Impact of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) on carcass and meat quality of bulls were evaluated in this experiment. Total 26 (13 experimental, 13 control) bulls (Slovak Pied, Pinzgauer) with live weight 350+-25 kg were used in the experiment. At finishing of experiment (average 100 days of application of vitamin E, Slovakofarma Hlohovec) animals were slaughtered at live weight 500+-35 kg. No negative effect of vitamin E administration on inner and external fat content were received. The most favourable results with vitamin E were achieved in electric conductivity values of m. longissimus dorsi and cooking loss of m. psoas major in samples taken 48 hours post mortem
