Mutton and lamb sales continue to grow globally at a rate of 5% per year. However, sheep
farming struggles with low profit margins due to high feed costs and modest carcass yields …

Simple Summary Some authors have reported that the use of body measurements (BMs)
could be a useful tool for predicting carcass characteristics in sheep. Hair sheep breeds …

The main idea of the current study was to estimate carcass tissue composition using fat
thickness and longissimus thoracis (LT) traits real-time ultrasound measurements (USM) in …

This study aimed to predict Blackbelly sheep carcass tissue composition using ultrasound
measurements and machine learning models. The models evaluated were decision trees …

The objective of this study was to develop predictive equations for carcase composition
using neck tissue composition as predictors in multiparous Pelibuey ewes (n= 50, body …

Feed efficiency was measured in thirty Pelibuey noncastrated male lambs using the residual
feed intake (RFI) and residual intake and gain (RIG). The lambs were fattened for 92 d and …

Background: Looking towards 2050, substantial increases in agricultural productivity are
needed to meet the projected demands of the growing world population. Inevitably, profound …

The study aimed at developing predictive equations to estimate carcase tissue composition
in Blackbelly sheep using the 9th–11th rib section and to evaluate its accuracy and …

Little is known about the key determinants of the physiological adaptations to environmental
challenges and how these determinants interact. We evaluated how the response/recovery …

The present study aimed to predict the amount and energy content of body fat depots in
Katahdin sheep using ultrasound measurements of kidney fat thickness (uKFT). Twenty-four …
