Comparison of Carcass Weight and Carcass Characteristics in Some Cattle Breeds

Research and Practice in Veterinary and Animal Science
Beef is an indispensable source of protein for humans. The production is increased in recent years with the effect of increasing population. Besides of beef cattle breeds, male calves of dairy breeding and combined productive animals are also been fattened. The aim of the study investigate the carcass yield and characteristics of the some beef cattles.

Estimating carcass weight from liveweight in lambs

Small Ruminant Research, 1991
Abstract Dressing percentage of 922 second-cross lambs rose as liveweight and fatness increased. Lambs weighing 35 kg and sired by Poll Dorset (PD) and Suffolk rams had dressing percentages of 44.7 and 43.4%, respectively. For PD sired lambs weighing 35 kg and fatscore 2 and 4, the dressing percentage increased from 44 to 49.7%, respectively.

Carcass weight as an index of carcass components with particular reference to fat

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1958
In many animal production experiments, carcass weight is used as the sole criterion for the effectiveness of the treatments and of the nutritional status of the animals involved. In these experiments some knowledge of the carcass components would be desirable in order to assess any effects on the various tissues.

Genetic studies on carcass traits in iceland twin ram lambs I. Estimates of genetic parameters on carcass traits, live weight at weaning and carcass weight

Livestock Production Science, 1982
Abstract For this analysis, data from 1826 entire twin ram lambs, progeny of 216 sires tested during the period 1958–1977, were used. In addition to live weight and carcass weight, 27 traits involving direct carcass measurements, scores and various derived expressions describing different features of carcass conformation were analysed.

Relation between Carcass Composition and Live Weight of Sheep

Nature, 1963
A RE-EXAMINATION of the work of Hammond1, Wallace2,3, Palsson and Verges4,5, and Wardrop6, suggests that the carcass composition of a sheep, in terms of dissected bone, muscle and fat, is more closely related to its live weight than to its age. Using all the available data from these papers, including ewes and wethers irrespective of breed, age, stage ...

EFFECT OF CARCASS WEIGHT AND FAT THICKNESS OF LAMB CARCASSES ON SURFACE BACTERIA COUNTS

Journal of Food Science, 1979
ABSTRACT Microbial studies were conducted to determine the rate of build‐up of surface bacteria during chilling and holding on carcasses of 141 lambs. Samples were obtained using the swab technique. Initial bacterial load was determined on hot carcasses.

The Effect of Carcass Quality on the Grid versus Dressed Weight Carcass Revenue Differential

2013
Our study investigates the fed cattle grid pricing system and its premium and discount incentive mechanism over time. We hypothesize that the influence of an animal's carcass quality attributes on a price grid's incentive mechanism can be revealed by evaluating the effect of carcass quality on an individual animal's grid determined carcass premium or ...

Genetics of slaughter precocity, carcass weight, and carcass weight gain in Chianina, Marchigiana, and Romagnola young bulls under protected geographical indication.

Journal of animal science, 2013
The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability and genetic correlation of age at slaughter (AS), as an indicator of slaughter precocity, carcass weight (CW), and CW gain (CWG = CW × AS(-1)) obtained from young bulls of 3 Italian autochthonous beef cattle breeds [i.e., Chianina (CHI), Marchigiana (MAR), and Romagnola (ROM)].
