| Popis: | Aim: The purpose of the research was to compare the fattening performance, slaughter and carcass traits of Bafra (B), Akkaraman (A) and Bafra × Akkaraman F1 (BAF1) lambs slaughtered at different slaughter weights. Materials and Methods: Datas were collected from 48 male ram lambs; which divided into 3 equal groups. At the beginning of the fattening, the lambs were approximately 20 kg oflive weight. The lambs were fed with concentrate mixture adlibitum and 300 g alfalfa hay per lamb, daily. After slaughtering, carcasses were divided into 7 pieces as hindlimb, foreleg, back, loin, neck, chest and the others. The pieces were dissected into lean, bone, fat and waste parts. Results: Akkaraman was found to be the highest daily weight gain (Pwas the highest for BAF1 at 34 kg slaughter weight (Pfor BAF1 at 34 kg live weight (P Conclusion: In terms of fattening performance, Akkaraman lambs had a significant superiority over Bafra and BAF1 groups. The weight of carcass and carcass meat weight in BAF1group may give favorable results for the hybrid genotype in the fattening; therefore it is appropriate to continue the Bafra × Akkaraman crossbreeding. |
