Itwas evaluated qualitative characteristics of confined hair sheep submitted to diets with two energy levels. Eighteen lambs from each genotype were used: Morada Nova, Santa Inez and Dorpper x Santa Inez crossbreds. The rations with the lowest and the highest energy level were made up with 2.5 and 2.94 Mcal EM/kg DM, respectively. It was evaluated conformation and finishing carcass, in addition to leg tissue composition. The score for conformation was significantly higher for animals kept in diet with the […]
