The present work aims to present the superiority of the hybrid lambs for meat regarding the slaughtering output, the tissue structure and the quality of the carcasses, comparatively to their with contemporaries from the parental breeds. The research was made on lambs fattened until the living weight 40 kg/head from the breeds of Palas Merino, Palas Meat Breed and F1 hybrids of Palas Meat Breed x Palas Merino and F1 Suffolk x Palas Merino. The highest slaughtering output was that of the F1 hybrids Suffolk x Palas Merino, out of them R1 having the value of 51,21 % and R2 of 55,94 % besides 44,25 % and respectively 49,54 % at the contemporaries of Palas Merino. Also, these hybrids had also the best carcasses, being categorized by conformation in U class (very good carcasses) and by fattening degree in the 3rd class 3 (medium fat carcasses).
