The scientific article presents the results of a scientific experiment conducted to study the quality indicators of beef obtained from interbreeding of cattle of meat, dairy and combined breeds in the conditions of the Volgograd agricultural enterprise JSC "Berdievsky Elevator". The resulting crossbred bulls at the age of 9 months were divided into 4 groups of 10 heads each according to the principle of pairs of analogues: I experimental group of ½ crossbreed (Kazakh white-headed x Russian brown), II experimental group of ½ crossbreed (Kazakh white-headed x Aberdeen-Angus), III experimental group of ½ crossbreed (Aberdeen-Angus x red steppe), IV experimental group of ½ crossbreed (Simmental x red-mottled). The formed groups of animals were put on fattening up to 16 months of age. The growth dynamics of bulls and the qualitative characteristics of beef were evaluated.
