Modelling and predicting fat deposition rates in various South African sheep crosses using ultrasound technology.

Tropical animal health and production - 26 Sept 2023

Theron P G, Brand T S, Cloete S W P, van Zyl J H C

Abstract excerpt

Producers require an accurate predictive tool that can determine the optimal point of slaughter based on fat depth. The modelling of fat deposition with a simple mathematical model could supply in this need. Dohne Merino and Merino ewes were crossed with Dorper, Dormer and Ile de France rams or rams of their own breeds to create two purebred (Dohne Merino and Merino) and six crossbred groups (Dohne x Dorper,...
