Estimation of mature live weight of Mexican Pelibuey sheep
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2017
Extract
Current nutritional models as the CNCPS-sheep (Cannas et al., 2004) are built with the possibility to consider breed effects. An important effect included in the prediction of live weight gain is the maturity index of the animal (the actual weight of the animal in relation to their adult weight). During a concurrent evaluation of the CNCPS-sheep model, no information was found on the Pelibuey sheep mature weight to allow a proper adjustment of this parameter. Thus the objective of this work was to estimate the mature weight of Pelibuey sheep.
