Growth, Efficiency and Carcass Composition of Three Frame Sizes of Hogs Slaughtered at Fat Constant or Weight Constant Endpoints
Abstract
dc:descriptionA total of 193 Hampshire sired crossbred barrows were allotted in a completely randomized design to three frame size groups (small, medium and large). Birth weight and forearm length were the criteria used in the allotment procedure. Hogs were slaughtered either at a fat constant endpoint (2.54 cm) or weight constant endpoint (110 kg). Growth and carcass composition were determined.
