Parámetros productivos y calidad de la canal de la raza Gasconne

Abstract

Ten Spanish young bulls weaned at five month and ten French young bulls weaned at seven month, were fed on concentrates and slaughtered at 510 kg. The aim of this study was to assess the performances, carcass measurements and carcass tissue composition of the animals. French young bulls showed greatest average daily gain and most fattened carcasses without significant differences in carcass measurements respect to Spanish animals. Great bone percentage and low trim fat percentage suggest that Gasconne is a rustic breed selected towards great muscle growth and lean meat.
