Estimation of carcase composition of goat kids from joint dissection and conformation measurements

Estimation of carcase composition of goat kids from joint dissection and conformation measurements

The aim of this study was to develop equations to estimate percentages and carcase tissue weights of suckling goat kids by using cold carcase weight (CCW), carcase conformation measurements and joints tissue as independent variables. Carcases dissection data from 55 goat kids were used for regressio...
