Crescimento de regiões da carcaça de cordeiros abatidos com diferentes pesos

摘要: This work was performed at the Ovine Section of Animal Science Department, Federal University Santa Maria, Brazil. The purpose this experiment to determine growth carcass cuts and percentages in relation empty body weight cold lambs slaughtered different weights. Twenty-two intact male lambs, sired by Texel males, from crossbreed Texel-Ideal dams were used. Four beginning (24 hours after birth) three groups six weaning when reaching 28 33kg. confined individual stall together, with their respective mothers until (45 days age). To study carcass, regression equation log. each part, as a function or fitted. hindquarter, shoulder neck similar (P>0.05) weights studied, rib backbone (P<0.05). In percentage showed difference Among cuts, late matured other early matured.
