EVALUATION OF MODELS TO ESTIMATE EMPTY BODY WEIGHT IN HAIR SHEEP RAISED IN A FEEDLOT SYSTEM

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2022
Background. The empty body weight (EBW) represents exactly the animal mass and is used as a base to calculate most of the nutrient requirements in most feeding systems. Objective.

Predicting empty body weight in growing goats: A meta-analytic approach [PDF]

Small Ruminant Research, 2017
Abstract The objective of this study was to develop statistical models to predict empty body weight (EBW) by body weight (BW), testing the influence of sex (females, intact males or castrated males), type of diet (suckling or post-weaning), and genotype (Saanen, ½ Boer × ½ Saanen, ¾ Boer × ¼ Saanen, and Indigenous goats).

Using carcass information as a predictor variable of empty body weight, empty body weight gain and retained energy of hair sheep

The Journal of Agricultural Science
The objective was to develop equations to predict carcass weight (CW), use CW to predict empty body weight (EBW); and carcass gain (CG) to predict empty body weight gain (EBWG) and retained energy (RE) in hair sheep.

PSVII-8 Equations for prediction of empty body weight of water buffaloes finished in feedlot [PDF]

J Anim Sci, 2020
Abstract This study aimed to develop equations to predict the empty body weight (EBW) using the shrunk body weight (SBW) of water buffaloes of three genetic groups (GG:Jafarabadi, Mediterranean, and Murrah; n = 65 for each GG), considering possible variations among GG.

Empty plates and larger waists: a cross-sectional study of factors associated with plate clearing habits and body weight [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2016
Clearing one's plate out of habit when eating may promote excess energy consumption. This study examined whether plate clearing is related to increased body weight in a sample of young adults. It also sought to identify potential determinants of plate clearing.

PREDICTING EMPTY BODY COMPOSITION OF CATTLE FROM CARCASS WEIGHT AND RIB CUT COMPOSITION

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1975
Data collected on 43 steers (25 predominantly Hereford breeding (H) and 18 predominantly Angus breeding (A)) were used to generate equations to predict total body composition of Angus and Hereford steers from measurements obtained at slaughter. Empty body fat (ether extract, EBF), kg was predicted from 9–11 rib cut fat (ether extract, RF), kg and warm

EMPTY BODY WEIGHTS, CARCASS WEIGHTS AND OFFAL PROPORTIONS IN BULLS AND STEERS OF DIFFERENT MATURE SIZE

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1984
Empty body weights, carcass weights and offal proportions were compared in 33 young beef bulls and 33 beef steers of different mature body size (35 small or mainly British breed crosses, 31 large or Continental crosses). All cattle were fed a high energy diet based on corn silage and high moisture corn from weaning to slaughter.

Empty body component gain of rats grown at different rates to a range of final weights.

The Journal of Nutrition, 1984
Rate of gain by final weight response surfaces for gain of empty body water, protein, lipid and ash were defined with data from 62 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were fed for 21 days at 100, 88, 76, 64, 52 or 40% of ad libitum intake within each of five initial weight groups ranging from 84 to 286 g.

Allometric Growth Coefficients of Carcass Components and Carcass Waste in Awassi Lambs

Maǧallaẗ al-baṣraẗ al-ʻulūm al-zirāʻiyyaẗ, 2022
This study aims to evaluate the developmental trends and the allometric growth values of carcass components and carcass waste in Awassi lambs. Twenty five entire Awassi lambs were seriously slaughtered at 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 kg.

Development and evaluations of equations to predict empty body weight in pre-weaned hair sheep lambs [PDF]

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
This research aimed to assess the relationships among shrunk body weight (SBW) and empty body weight (EBW) to develop equations to estimate EBW in 121 pre-weaned hair sheep lambs from different genotypes (Pelibuey, n=39; Katahdin, n=27 and crossbred ...
