Influence of sex, slaughter weight and carcass weight on “non-carcass” and carcass quality in segureña lambs

Small Ruminant Research, 2005
Abstract The effects of sex, slaughter weight and carcass weight on carcass characteristics and meat quality traits were evaluated using 100 Segurena lambs. The management of all lambs was similar prior to slaughter at 19–25 kg. Slaughtered animals with a hot carcass weight below 20 kg were assigned to class B, and those greater than 22 kg to class C.

Estimation of Body-weight, Carcass Weight and Carcass Composition of Live Lambs with a Radio Frequency Bridge

Nature, 1965
THE use of a capacitance meter to measure the amount1, wet and dry matter content2 and water content3 of pasture herbage has been described previously. As similar data are of interest in farm animals4,5, an apparatus was designed by two of us (D.S.M.P. and G. de la M. N.) to measure the capacitance and resistance of live lambs.

Prediction of carcass weight from live weight in beef animals

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2005
Beef production is the most important farm enterprise on Northern Ireland farms, accounting for 32.5% of Gross Agricultural Output. In beef production the end saleable product is carcass rather than live weight. When undertaking nutrition studies with beef cattle, it is essential to evaluate effects on carcass characteristics, as improvement in live ...

Growth rate and its effect on empty body weight, carcass weight and dissected carcass composition of sheep

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1976
SummaryThe effect of three different growth rates from 15 to 40 kg live weight on the body composition of lambs was studied. The treatments were: High (H) ad-libitum feed intake, Low (L) restricted feed intake and High–Maintenance–High (HMH) ad-libitum feed intake from 15 to 25 kg followed by a 50-day period during which live weight was maintained ...

Hexoestrol implantation of steers fattened at pasture II. Effects on empty weight, carcass weight and carcass quality

Animal Science, 1964
The first paper of this series (Alder, Tayler and Rudman, 1964) described experiments carried out over 4 years on the effects of hexoestrol on live-weight gain and herbage intake in grazing steers. The 52 steers used weighed between 750 and 1,100 lb. initially and included four pairs of twins. The experiments lasted between 55 and 124 days and involved

Effect of air speed, temperature and carcass weight on the cooling rates and weight losses of goat carcasses

International Journal of Refrigeration, 1987
Definition de la duree de refroidissement du centre du gigot et de l'epaule de carcasses de chevre a des vitesse de l'air de 0,5, 1 et 3 m/s. Cette analyse est effectuee pour permettre de prevoir le temps de refroidissement pour toute temperature de l'air evitant la congelation superficielle.

Effects of three different growth rates on empty body weight, carcass weight and dissected carcass composition of cattle

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1974
SUMMARYA study was made of the effect on body composition of growing Angus steers from 300 to 440 kg at three different rates. The rates were: High (H) 0·8 kg/day, Low (L) 0·4 kg/day and High-Maintenance (HM) 0·8 kg/day followed by a period during which body weight was maintained constant.The animals were individually penned and the different growth ...
