Prediction of carcass energy content of Pelibuey ewes by ultrasound measurements/ Predicción del contenido de energético de la canal de ovejas Pelibuey por mediciones de ultrasonido

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body ultrasound measurements (USM) and carcass energy content (CEC) of Pelibuey ewes. USM were taken 24 h before slaughter in twenty-two ewes. Fat thickness (FT) and Longissimus dorsi area (LDA) were determined in the thoracic (TFT and...
