Predicting Horse Skin Weight from Carcass Weight

Area of Origin, But Not Farm or Sex, Predicts Horse Carcass Weight as a Main Effect

The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences between cold carcass weights (CCW) for the Catalan Pyrenean horse (Cavall pirinenc català) breed according to different variables: area of origin, farm, gender and age. Linear regression models were applied using a generalized linear model (GLM) procedure for CCW of 397 animals (217 males and 180 females) slaughtered in a commercial abattoir...

Effect of Slaughter Weight, Carcass Weight and Sex on the Carcass Fatty Acid Composition of Boutsiko Breed Lambs

The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of slaughter and carcass weight, age at slaughter and sex on the fatty acid profile of the Greek Boutsiko sheep breed. Twenty lambs (ten females and ten males) were examined. The lambs were slaughtered at the age of 48 days. Carcasses were chopped in nine specific cuts and a random sample of 100 g was taken from each cut, with a total of 180...

Predicting obesity in adults from childhood and adolescent weight.

Estimation of genetic parameters for birth weight, preweaning mortality, and hot carcass weight of crossbred pigs.

Genetic parameters for birth weight (BWT), preweaning mortality (PWM), and HCW were estimated for a crossbred pig population to determine if BWT could be used as an early predictor for later performances. Sire genetic effects for those traits were estimated to determine if early selection of purebred sires used in crossbreeding could be improved. Data were recorded from 1 commercial farm betwee...
