The effects of slaughter weight and sex on some slaughter traits of Akkaraman and Morkaraman and Turkish Merino lambs
Abstract
Some slaughter characteristics of Akkaraman, Morkaraman and Turkish Merino lambs were evaluated. The data were collected from 219 Akkaraman (181 male and 38 female) and 54 Morkaraman (32 male and 22 female) and 73 Turkish Merino (47 male and 26 female) lambs. The data were analysed by using least squares models. The models were included fixed effects of breed, empty body weight (EBW), sex and two-way interactions. Empty body weight groups with five kg ranges for each breed were constituted. Akkaraman, Morkaraman and Turkish Merino lambs showed slightly increasing dressing values with increasing EBW. The effect of empty body weight on dressing percentages was significant in Akkaraman and Morkaraman lambs (p<0.05, p<0.01). However, the effect of sex on this trait was not pronounced in all three breeds. As EBW was increased, the percentages of the head, feet and empty digestive tract were decreased; however, the percentages of the tail and the length of small and large intestines showed a reverse trend in all investigated breeds. The effects of EBW were generally important (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001) for the traits mentioned above. On the other hand, the effects of sex were not usually significant (p>0.05) for the same traits in all breeds

Akkaraman, Morkaraman ve Türk Merinosu kuzularda kesim ağırlığı ve cinsiyetin bazı kesimözelliklerine etkisi
Abstract
Akkaraman, Morkaraman ve Türk Merinosu kuzularda bazı kesim özelliklerine kesim ağırlığı ve cinsiyetin etkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın hayvan materyalini 219 Akkaraman (181 erkek ve 38 dişi), 54 Morkaraman (32 erkek ve 22 dişi) ve 73 Türk Merinosu (47 erkek ve 26 dişi) kuzu oluşturmuştur. Her ırk için 5 kg sınıf aralığına sahip gruplar oluşturulmuştur. Veriler en küçük kareler yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Karkas randımanı, Akkaraman, Morkaraman ve Türk Merinosu kuzularda boş canlı ağırlıkla birlikte az bir seviyede artış göstermiştir. Boş canlı ağırlığın karkas randımanına etkisi Akkaraman ve Morkaraman kuzularda önemli (p<0.01, p<0.05), cinsiyetin etkisi ise her üç ırkta da önemsiz olmuştur. Her üç ırkta da boş canlı ağırlıkta artışla birlikte baş, ayak ve sindirim sisteminin (boş) oranları azalmış, kuyruk oranı ile kalın ve ince barsak uzunlukları artmıştır. Bu özelliklere boş canlı ağırlığın etkisi önemli (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001), cinsiyetin etkisi ise önemsiz olmuştur
