An experiment was carried out at the Sheep Production Sector of Federal University of Lavras to study the allometric growth of bone, muscular and fat tissues of commercial joints in lambs. Twenty-four Santa Ines lambs were used. The animals were kept confined in individual pens and fed ad libitum. The animals were slaughtered when they reached the target live weight of 15, 25, 35 and 45 kg. After the carcass had been dressed and chilled, the commercial joints were obtained […]

ABSTRACT – The research was carried out to determine body composition and calcium and phosphorus requirements of Santa Ines lambs. Eighteen entire male lambs with average initial live weight of 15 kg were used. The animals were allotted to three groups: six animals were slaughtered at the beginning of the experiment, to access the amount of calcium and phosphorus present in the body, as reference animals for the comparative slaughter technique. Six animals were ad libitum fed and six were […]
