The carcass yields and physiochemical meat quality characteristics of six different muscles (biceps femoris, infraspinatus, longissimus thoracis et lumborum, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, supraspinatus) for different sex and age groups of gemsbok antelope were determined. No live weight nor dressing percentage differences were observed for the different sex groups. While muscles, age and sex had an influence on the physiochemical parameters investigated, these differences were minor. The CIE Lab colour values for all muscles, age and sexes were in line with those deemed acceptable for game meat, while mean crude protein (20.7%) and fat (1.6%) levels were typical of game species. Discriminant analysis revealed no differentiation among the muscle groups for the variables measured. Thus, at similar live weights, male and female (sub-adult) gemsbok can be considered of equivalent meat quality and marketed accordingly.

六种不同肌肉（二头肌，股二头肌，胸大肌和腰肌，半膜肌，半腱肌，脊上肌）的car体产量和理化肉品质特征）确定了不同性别和年龄的小羚羊。对于不同性别的人群，没有观察到活重或穿衣百分比差异。尽管肌肉，年龄和性别对所调查的理化参数有影响，但这些差异很小。所有肌肉，年龄和性别的CIE Lab颜色值与野味肉可接受的颜色值一致，而野味物种的平均粗蛋白（20.7％）和脂肪（1.6％）水平。判别分析显示，对于所测量的变量，肌肉组之间没有差异。因此，以相似的活重，可以认为雄性和雌性（亚成人）小羚羊具有同等的肉质，并据此进行销售。
