Carcass cuts importance are discussed in regard to meat quality aspects and to adjustment of special cuts for goat and sheep. A relationship is established for the productive chain quality with in vivo quality determinant characteristics of carcass and meat. Biological basis of meat quality for the productive chain and the importance of anatomical carcass separation are presented. It is concluded that there is a need for a clear and inequivocal understanding among the segments of sheep and goat meat chains, to offer a quality product to different markets; that carcass anatomic separation represents an important contribution to increase sheep and goat meat quality, regarding better utilization and quality uniformization. aGoat meat aMutton aSheep aCadeia produtiva aCaprino aCarne aCorte aOvino aQualidade aQuality1 aOSÓRIO, M.
