In the present study, the evaluation of the carcasses and meat quality, in terms of chemical composition and fatty acid profile, of lambs from five autochthonous sheep breeds (Altamurana, Bagnolese, Gentile di Puglia, Laticauda, and Leccese) reared in continental Southern Italy, were studied. All the carcasses were evaluated according to the EU Mediterranean classification system for carcasses weighing less than 13 kg. Meat chemical composition and fatty acids profile were assessed on both loin and leg commercial cuts. Fatty acid composition of loin resulted in differences among breeds, displaying lower values of saturated fatty acid in Altamurana, Bagnolese, and Leccese breeds and the highest content of polyunsaturated fatty acid in the Altamurana breed. Principal component analysis grouped lamb according to fatty acid content and to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), omega n-3 and n-6 fatty acids; thus, Altamurana, Bagnolese, and Leccese breeds are characterized by the highest values of CLA content. Our data demonstrated that lamb meat from autochthonous breed has good carcass quality and the content of CLA, n-3, and n-6 was valuable for human consumption; therefore, the valorisation of local meat quality can help to avoid the extinction of the autochthonous breed offering to the market and consumer’s high nutritive products.

Ewe and ram genotype have been shown to have a significant effect on carcass quality. For example, Dawson and Carson (2001) demonstrated that lambs from Bluefaced Leicester X Blackface ewes were of poorer conformation than lambs from the Texel X Blackface, Suffolk X Cheviot or Texel Cheviot ewes while high lean growth index sired lambs had an improved conformation compared with lambs sired by non-recorded rams. Recent work has shown that genotype can have significant effects on the meat quality of lambs from hill sheep systems (Carson et al. 2001). Therefore the aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of ewe and ram genotype from the lowland sector on meat quality.
