SHAPING THE MEAT PRODUCTIVITY OF MEAT AND WOOL SHEEP OF DIFFERENT GENOTYPES
The article presents the results of the control slaughter of 8 months. rams after feeding with feeding, obtained from the selection of semi-fine-fleece queens of Akzhaik meat and wool sheep with producers of Akzhaik and Kuibyshev breeds. Studies have shown that the KB x AKMSh crosses before feeding with feeding had a better live weight than purebred peers. During the feeding period with feeding in terms of the rate of gain in live weight, the Kuibyshev rams' hybrids retained their superiority. Feeding qualities of crossbred animals in the variant of selection of KB x AKMSh in comparison with purebred AKMSh x AKMSh indicates their better use of feed and better live weight. Consideration of the quantitative and qualitative traits of meat productivity in the studied genotypes revealed the superiority of the KB x AKMSh genotype over the AKMSh x AKMSh genotype in terms of fresh carcass weight, slaughter weight, slaughter yield, muscle tissue content in the carcass and meat content coefficient. For all groups, the slaughter yield was 47.8 -48.7%. The meat content coefficient at the control slaughter of young animals at 8 months indicates the influence of producers of all groups, with somewhat better meat and wool rams in Kuibyshev, on improving the meat quality of carcasses. Analysis of the results of studies of the chemical composition of muscle tissue indicates certain differences in the amount of its chemical components in the studied animals, depending on the genotype. The muscle tissue of the KB x AKMSh genotype contained less moisture, but more protein and fat in comparison with the meat of akzhaik purebred animals. There were no significant changes in the amount of ash, calcium and phosphorus in the muscle tissue of young animals of different genotypes. In general, the carcasses of all the rams were well formed and characterized the sheep of the meat and wool direction of productivity with the best slaughter indicators from the producers of the Kuibyshev breed.
