The objective of this work was to study the carcass and meat characteristics of Mediterranean buffalos, finished in feedlot for 112 days and fed with 33% concentrate and 67% chopped sugar cane or corn silage diets, containing 12% of crude protein. Twelve buffalos steers, with 20 months of age, were used. Slaughter weight, hot carcass weight and cold carcass weight were similar between the treatments, being, respectively, 363.7, 181.8 and 179.9 kg, for animals fed with chopped sugar cane, and […]
