Carcass comparisons of three groups of calves of indigenous Sudanese breeds fed for 56 days on three planes of nutrition as represented by varying levels of concentrate feed were studied.Calves fed on the two diets with concentrates had heavier carcass weights and higher dressing out percentages than thase fed lucerne hay alone.Carcasses of the first two groups also contained more dissectable fat and had larger "eye" muscle areas. No significant differences were found amongst the groups in percentage bone or percentage lean meat or in fat thickness over the L. dorsi "eye' muscle.The plane of nutrition did not significantly influence the proportions of the different wholesale cuts in the carcass.
