Abstract
This paper examines the relationships between metabolic or contractile types and muscle reaction to stress, as related to the DFD condition in carcasses of ruminants (sheep and cattle). Results discussed here originate principally from research work carried out at INRA for some years with respect to ovine muscle, and from the literature with respect to bovine muscle.
