The experiment was conducted with the objective to study carcass and meat characteristics of Braford (5/8 Hereford + 3/8 Nellore) males, weaned at two ages, 72 (T72) or 210 (T210) days. Thirty-six non castrated males were feedlot finished and slaughtered with fourteen months of age. No significant difference was observed for muscle, fat and bone percentages, being the means across the two treatments of 63.29; 21.97; and 15.03%, respectively. The T72 males showed higher muscle/bone ratio than the T210 (4.49 […]
