This study was carried out in the slaughter areas of the city of Napiéin order to evaluate the morphological characteristics and condition of cattle carcasses. To achieve this, different parameters were determined on the cattle admitted to slaughter. Thus, the sex and breed was determined by visual observation, the body condition score and the condition of the carcasses (state of fattening, conformation, coloring, carcass weight and yield) were assessed according to rating grids. Concerning live weight and carcass weight, they were estimated respectively using a Livestock Weight Measuring Tape and scale. The results showed that the cattle most slaughtered in the slaughter areas of Napie were taurines with 86.06% of the numbers slaughtered, the majority of which (68.92%) had an age between [4; 8 years]. The average body condition score of Zebu cattle (4.07 ± 0.47), the average live weight (255.08 ± 87.94 kg) was significantly higher (P < 0.005) than those of Taurine cattle (3, 24 ± 1.56 for body condition score and 175.76 ± 44.50 kg for live weight). Taurine males also had an average live weight (217.68 ± 40.11 kg) significantly smaller than that of Zebus (133.84 ± 26.55. In view of these values, it appears that the animals slaughtered in the slaughter areas of the city of Napié have high quality carcasses. However, a study carried out throughout the year will confirm these results.
