The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT) on the regional composition of the carcass, the tissue composition of cuts, and the leg muscularity index of Santa Inês lambs. This experiment involved 24 uncastrated male lambs at approximately 100 days of age and at an average live weight of 22.70 ± 3.75 kg that were kept in the feedlot, where they received a complete ...
This study aimed to evaluate the quantitative carcass traits and physicochemical meat of Santa Inês lambs slaughtered at 2.0; 3.0 and 4.0 mm of backfat thickness, assessed by ultrasound in Longissimus dorsi.Twenty-four lambs, male, unneutered, with approximately 100 days of age and live weight of 22.7 ± 3.75 kg were used. The experimental design was completely randomized design with three treatments and eight r...
