This trial was conducted to study the production and biological efficiency of 48 buffaloes averaging 18 months of age and initial body weight of 330 kg finished in feedlot. Sixteen animals from each of the following breeds were used: Murrah (MUR), Jafarabadi (JAF), and Mediterranean (MED). Within each genetic group, four animals (references) were randomly assigned to initial slaughter in order to determine empty body weight (EBW) and initial carcass. The remaining 12 animals from each genetic group were randomly […]

This work was conducted to study the quantitative carcass traits of 36 buffaloes (12 Murrah – MUR, 12 Jafarabadi – JAF and 12 Mediterranean – MED) averaging 18 months old and initial body weight (BW) of 330 kg finished in feedlot. Twelve animals of each genetic group were randomly assigned to three sub-groups (four animals) and distributed to the following treatments: Maturity 1 – slaughter weight at 400 kg of BW, Maturity 2 – slaughter weight at 450 kg of […]
