Sixteen male Santa In\u00eas \u00d7 Dorper lambs (23.0\u2009\u00b1\u20092.00\u00a0kg; 6 months old) were assigned to either sugarcane silage (C) or a mixed silage containing sugarcane and\n                    <jats:italic>M. oleifera<\/jats:italic>\n                    (C\u2009+\u2009M; 50:50 on a dry matter basis) over a 75-day experimental period, including 15 days of adaptation and 60 days of evaluation. Carcasses were evaluated for fasting weight, hot and cold carcass weights, carcass yields, non-carcass components, fat cover, ribeye area, and commercial cut yields. Meat quality was assessed in the\n                    <jats:italic>Longissimus lumborum<\/jats:italic>\n                    muscle for pH, lightness (L*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*), chroma (C*), hue angle (h\u00b0), cooking loss, shear force, proximate composition, and oxidative stability based on thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Lambs fed the C\u2009+\u2009M diet had lower fasting and hot carcass weights than those fed the control diet (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.01), whereas fat cover and ribeye area were not significantly affected. Meat dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, and ash contents did not differ between treatments (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Color parameters, oxidative stability, and shear force were also unaffected by dietary treatment. Cooking loss was higher in the C\u2009+\u2009M group (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05), indicating lower water-holding capacity under the evaluated conditions.
