| Popis: | This study was conducted to determine the slaughter and carcass traits and the effects of sex on these traits of native geese reared in Muş. A total of 41 geese (17 male and 24 female) which were 8-10 months of age were used. The means of slaughter weight, cold carcass weight, head weight, feet weight, heart weight, liver weight, gizzard weight and spleen weight were 3968.6, 2678.7, 172.1, 131.4, 38.6, 69.3, 144.3, 2.28 g for males, and 3212.2, 2047.6, 138.5, 113.0, 24.8, 76.3, 142.2, 2.18 g for females respectively. Significant phenotypic correlation coefficients were calculated between slaughter weight and feather, head and feet weights in both sex groups and between carcass weight and feather and feet weight in only male geese. Slaughter weight was positively related with heart and gizzard weights in males, carcass weight was negatively related with liver weight in females (r= -0.45). In conclusion, the results of obtained in this study indicated that meat yield was low of the geese reared extensively in Muş province, the slaughter and carcass trait and the phenotypic correlations among of this traits were affected by sex. |
