The objective of this study was to characterize body biometrics of Santa Ines sheep during growth. Data from 4,038 animals, males and females, with ages from four to 36 months, from different herds participating in the National Agricultural Fair in Bahia from 2003 to 2008 were used. The characteristics evaluated were: body weight, average daily gain, body length, thoracic circumference, anterior height and posterior height. The mean values found were compared by the Student-Newman-Keuls test. All characteristics studied showed gradual […]

Thirty-six young bulls (12 Nellore, 12 crossbed ½ Holstein x ½ Zebu, and 12 crossbred ½ Caracu x ½ Zebu) were used to evaluate the composition of the gain and the growth curves of corporal components. The growing animals had initial average weight of 225 kg, and the finishing ones, initial average weight of 332 kg. The animals were maintained in confinement regime to reach 310 to 340 kg of weight for the growing animals and 420 to 470 kg […]
