Meat quality of six endangered cattle breeds native to Norway
reserved The six Norwegian endangered cattle breeds considered in this Master Thesis were close to extinction thirty years ago; fortunately, these cattle populations have been growing steadily in numbers over the past decade. The data show a greater increase in cattle for meat production, although t...
