The Effect of Age of Castration upon Rate and Economy of Gain and Carcass Quality of Beef Calves

Recognition of the importance of the native sheep breeds as one of the main source of meat in Iran has led to several studies on their growth performance. There is little information available on the animal potential of Sangsary sheep, a native Iranian breed. The aim of this trial, therefore, was to assess the growth potential and carcass quality of Sangsary male lambs.Forty four entire males, 9 month (m.) old, mean initial weight 26.8 (sd 2.5) kg were used. The two diets, which consisted of concentrate and roughage, had a similar protein content (150 g CP/kg DM) and metabofisable energy of either 10.6 MJ/kg DM (diet A) or 9.2 MJ/kg DM (diet B), were each fed ad libitum to 22 lambs. The animals were group penned. At the start and end of the study, the animals were weighed on two consecutive days.

The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of feeding system on the growth rate and carcass quality of crossbred Improved Jezersko-Solčava x Texel (JSRT) lambs and to evaluate the effect of sex on these traits. The trial was conducted in nature according to the traditional rearing systems. The trial included 44 crossbred lambs, which were born and reared until the slaughter in three different flocks. In the age of 10 days suckled lambs were offered with ad libitum corresponding diets according to the feeding system. All lambs were slaughtered in seven consecutive days by the same procedure. The effect of feeding system significantly affected daily gain from birth to slaughter, EUROP carcass conformation and shoulder width. Likewise, the effect of sex significantly affected daily gain from birth to slaughter and internal fatness of carcasses. According to carcass cuts the feeding system significantly affected only the proportion of neck and leg. Considering meat quality traits, feeding system had a significant effect on the pH 45 and CIE a* values. In this study, we could speculate that more than the feeding system the growth and the carcass traits as well as meat traits were affected by the amount of the supplement.
