The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effects of three concentrate protein levels (15, 20 or 25% CP) on measurements of carcass and Longissimus dorsi muscle, weights and yields of cuts, and chemical composition and tenderness of meat of Suffolk lambs in creep feeding. Fifteen single birth lambs were used in this study. Lambs were slaughtered when they reached a final body weight of 28 kg. After slaughter, carcasses were maintained in a refrigerator at 5ºC for 24 […]
