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 ...

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.

Carcass Grade and Weight Studies in Marketing Livestock
Journal of Farm Economics, 1947HE carcass grade and weight method of selling livestock has recently evoked considerable interest among marketing researchers of the corn belt area. The successful experiences of the Canadians, who first adopted the carcass method of selling hogs on an optional basis in 1934 and made its application general in 1940, have led many agricultural ...

THE INFLUENCE OF METHYLANDROSTENEDIOL ON THE BODY WEIGHT AND CARCASS COMPOSITION OF THE RAT
Journal of Endocrinology, 1955SUMMARY 1. Male and female rats of 3½ months of age gained weight when treated with methylandrostenediol (MAD). The nature and extent of the response varied with the age of the animal. 2. Chemical analysis of the whole rat showed a gain of protein and water and a loss of fat as a result of MAD treatment.

EFFECT OF CARCASS WEIGHT AND FAT THICKNESS OF LAMB CARCASSES ON SURFACE BACTERIA COUNTS
Journal of Food Science, 1979ABSTRACTMicrobial 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. Chilled carcasses were sampled at 24 hr and after 4 and 7 days post slaughter.

Meat Science, 1994
The carcasses of 138 lambs were dissected into fat, muscle and bone as the basis for developing a model to estimate the weight of lean meat (muscle and intramuscular fat). The lambs represented two sexes (70 wethers, 68 ewes) and three sire genotypes (67 Poll Dorset, 39 Suffolk, 32 Wiltshire Horn) all from Border Leicester × Polwarth × Booroola type ...

Estimating carcass weight from liveweight in lambs
Small Ruminant Research, 1991Abstract 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.

Relation between Carcass Composition and Live Weight of Sheep
Nature, 1963A 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 ...
