Abstract：Cultivated breeds play an important role in China’s beef cattle industry. However, information is lacking
concerning beef quality characteristics of Chinese cultivated cattle breeds, which can provide a useful guideline for breeding
and reasonable exploitation of cattle and quality assurance of beef. This review points out poor beef quality of Chinese
cultivated cattle breeds. In light of the current situation of beef production and development trends of the beef industry, we
suggest that the consumption structure and direction of beef should be taken into consideration in cattle breeding and market
analysis of breeds from a viewpoint of beef quality and PACCP (palatability assurance critical control point) should be done
to ensure beef quality.
