“…These characteristics of Karayaka male lambs in the present study were within the normal range (Olfaz et al 2005;Sen et al 2011;Sirin et al 2011) and were also found to be comparable to the native sheep breeds such as Bafra (Yakan & Unal 2010), Awassi, Morkaraman (Esenbuga et al 2009) and Kivircik (Gökdal et al 2012) of Turkey. Although the BtW and FS have an impact upon slaughter weight, carcass weight and meat quality (Sañudo et al 1998), the situation in the present study may be explained by the fact that the BW at the start of the fattening and the feed ingredients of the TMR and FCF were similar and the number of replicates per treatment was comparatively low.…”

“…Awawdeh et al (2009), assessing lambs fed with fat sources, found greater weight gain when the source of lipid was added to the diet. Yakan & Unal (2010) found a reduction in average daily gain for lambs slaughtered at higher weights. The use of protected fat in the diet did not influence the total weight gain of lambs.…”

“…In this case, the carcasses of the heavier animals would have greater protection. Yakan & Unal (2010) found that subcutaneous fat thickness increased with increasing slaughter weight.…”

-This experiment aimed to determine the influence of diets with inclusion of protected fat and vitamin E on performance, yield and carcass characteristics of feedlot lambs with different weights. Thirty-two non-castrated Santa Ines lambs were fed diets with a ratio of 40% forage and 60% concentrate ad libitum, with presence or absence of protected fat and/or vitamin E, in a total of four diets. Two weights of early containment were also considered: between 20 and 25 kg and between 30 and 35 kg. All animals were slaughtered at 84 days of confinement. Animals fed diets without addition of protected fat, regardless of the use of vitamin E, had the highest intakes of dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and ash, and decreased intake of ether extract. The variables investigated did not affect daily weight gain and total gain. Feed conversion was better for the lighter confined animals not fed protected fat. The heavier feedlot lambs fed diets with vitamin E showed higher cold carcass. The warm carcass for the lighter animals confined fed with vitamin E, and the heavier ones, fed with protected fat and vitamin E, showed the best yields of cold carcass. Objective measures of the carcass cold had the highest mean for heavier feedlot lambs. The addition of fat in the diet reduces the intake of dry matter and increases the ether extract.Although the inclusion of vitamin has no effect on intake of nutrients, it protects the carcasses from losses during cooling, and weight differences at containment directly reflect the measures of the carcasses.

“…(2) Dressing percentage based on empty body weight. and carcass traits were calculated based on empty body weight to increase the precision of data on slaughter carcass traits (5,20,21). In the present study, the final and empty body weights were 42.560 kg and 36.400 kg, respectively.…”

“…In order to increase yields in sheep production, genotype and environmental conditions should be improved. Hence, it has been reported that in the intensive finishing conditions of 2-3 months in Turkey, a carcass weighing 18-20 kg can be produced from a postweaned lamb of 2-3 months old (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Based on these data, we can conclude that intensive production systems are necessary to satisfy increasing consumer demand for meat.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the slaughter and carcass characteristics of Herik lambs finished under intensive husbandry conditions. Twenty single male lambs, ten of which had long, semifat tails and ten of which had short, round, and fat tails, all with an average live weight of 20 kg, were used in the study. Concentrate feed and fresh water were given ad libitum and alfalfa hay as forage was given in the amount of 300 g/lamb per day. The lambs were slaughtered when they reached a final weight of 42 kg. The average hot and cold dressing percentages, based on empty body weight (36.400 kg) of Herik carcasses, were 52.56% and 51.74%, respectively. In this study, Herik lamb carcasses had measurements similar to other indigenous Turkish sheep genotypes, except for the carcasses of the Bafra breed. The carcass components of Herik male lambs, except for the foreleg, are similar to other indigenous breeds. Consequently, Herik lambs might be considered as an indigenous genetic source for meat production under the intensive fattening system.
