The following leg components were evaluated: weight and length, total muscle weight, sum weight of the biceps femoris + semimembranosus + semitendinosus + quadriceps femoris + adductor muscles, total bone weight, femur weight, subcutaneous, intermuscular and total fat weights. The weights were also expressed as a percentage of leg weight. Femur length, femur circumference, muscle:bone ratio and muscularity index were also calculated. Twenty Ile de France x Ideal (F1) intact lambs were used. At the start of the experiment, average […]
