Two concurrent trials were conducted to examine genetic and environmental influences on growth rate, carcass fatness and muscle fiber type proportions. Trial 1 compared Polypay and Coopworth x Polypay male lambs either left intact or castrated early, mid or late in growth. Trial two compared Hampshire sired lambs (females, early...

Effect of callipyge gene on lamb growth, carcass characteristics, and meat quality

Creator:

Srinivasan, Haribaskar

Abstract:

Callipyge (CLPG, n=16) and normal (N, n=11) lambs were produced from Polypay dams and Dorset sires heterozygous for the CLPG gene to study the effects of the gene on growth and carcass and meat quality parameters. CLPG lambs had higher average daily gain than N lambs (0.26 vs 0.23 kg/day,...
