ResumoObjetivou-se avaliar as características quantitativas das carcaças de cordeiros da raça Santa Inês em confinamento, abatidos com três espessuras de gordura subcutâneas (EGS) diferentes. Foram utilizados 24 cordeiros, machos não castrados da raça Santa Inês, com aproximadamente 100 dias de idade e peso vivo de 22,7±3,75kg, divididos aleatoriamente em três tratamentos: abates com espessura de gordura subcutânea de 2,0; 3,0 e 4,0mm. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com três tratamentos e oito repetições por tratamento. Para as análises estatísticas utilizou-se o softwareSAEG Os cordeiros abatidos com 2,0mm apresentaram maiores rendimentos do fígado (2,12%), baço (0,32%), cabeça (6,69%) e patas (3,08%), havendo um declínio nos rendimentos com o aumento da EGS. Os rendimentos de carcaça na origem, no frigorifico, comercial e verdadeiro, sofreram interferência das EGS (p<0,05), seguindo o mesmo comportamento dos pesos corporais e pesos das carcaças, em que os cordeiros abatidos com 4,00 mm de EGS apresentaram resultados superiores aos abatidos com 2,00 mm. Com o aumento da EGS foi observado no lombo que as proporções dos tecidos apresentaram o seguinte comportamento, aumento da gordura, diminuição do osso e não alteração do músculo. Recomenda-se o abate de cordeiros Santa Inês com 3,0 mm de EGS, pois foram os que proporcionaram melhores resultados para as características quantitativas da carcaça.
The objective of this study was to evaluate productive and economic performances and quantitative carcass characteristics of ½Dorper + ½Santa Inês (½D-SI) and purebred Santa Inês (SI) lambs slaughtered with different subcutaneous fat thicknesses (SFT). Thirty-four lambs (16 SI and 18 ½D-SI) were confined and fed a total diet for an average daily weight gain of 0.300 kg. The subcutaneous fat thickness was measured by ultrasound (between the 12th and 13th ribs) and weekly weighing, and the lambs were slaughtered as they reached the pre-established SFT of 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 mm. Breed group had no effect on productive performance. With regard to SFT, the final body weight was highest in the animals slaughtered with 4.0 mm. The economic evaluation provided an increasing net income with increase in SFT. The commercial and true yields were affected by the SFT at slaughter. For the cuts, the yield of the loin of crossbred animals was higher than that of Santa Inês lambs. The loin measurements showed no difference between breed groups. The lambs slaughtered with 2.0 and 3.0 mm of fat thickness presented the best feed conversion; however, those slaughtered with 4.0 mm of fat thickness had better economic results.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT) on the regional composition of the carcass, the tissue composition of cuts, and the leg muscularity index of Santa Inês lambs. This experiment involved 24 uncastrated male lambs at approximately 100 days of age and at an average live weight of 22.70 ± 3.75 kg that were kept in the feedlot, where they received a complete pelleted diet formulated to provide a daily gain of 0.30 kg. The animals were slaughtered as they reached the pre-defined SFT of 2.00, 3.00, and 4.00 mm, evaluated by ultrasonography. Lambs slaughtered with 4.00 mm SFT had a heavier shoulder (1.80 kg) and leg (2.99 kg), differing from those slaughtered with 2.00 mm. No significant differences were observed (P > 0.05) between the treatments for the percentages of muscle in the cuts, which averaged 48.38% for the neck, 58.71% for the shoulder, 43.87% for the ribs, 53.56% for the loin, and 64.52% for the leg. Lambs slaughtered with 4.00 and 3.00 mm SFT differed from those slaughtered with 2.00 mm SFT for the percentage of total fat in the shoulder, which averaged 20.10, 19.02, and 15.79%, respectively. The animals slaughtered with 2.00 mm of fat exhibited the highest percentage of bone in the loin (20.23%). Leg muscularity was lower (0.34) in those slaughtered with 2.00 mm of subcutaneous fat. Slaughtering Santa Inês lambs with different subcutaneous fat thicknesses yields different regional compositions of the carcass, tissue compositions of cuts, and leg muscularity indices. It is recommended to slaughter Santa Inês lambs when they reach a subcutaneous fat thickness of 3.00 mm. Key words: Leg. Muscularity. Sheep. Ultrasound. ResumoO objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da espessura de gordura subcutânea (EGS) sobre a composição regional da carcaça, a tecidual dos cortes e o índice de musculosidade da perna de cordeiros Santa Inês. Vinte e quatro cordeiros, macho não castrados, com aproximadamente 100 dias de idade e peso vivo de 22,70 ± 3,75 kg foram utilizados. Os cordeiros foram mantidos em confinamento, recebendo ração completa peletizada, calculada para ganho de peso diário de 0,30 kg. Os abates ocorreram à medida que os cordeiros atingiam a EGS, pré-determinada em 2,00; 3,00 e 4,00 mm, avaliadas por ultrassonografia. Cordeiros abatidos com 4,00 mm apresentaram maiores pesos para a paleta (1,80 kg) e perna (2,99
RESUMOForam utilizadas 24 cordeiras do grupo genético Pantaneiro, abatidas com 2,0; 3,0 e 4,0 mm de espessura de gordura, avaliadas por ultrassonografia no Longissimus dorsi. Avaliaram-se características quantitativas de carcaça, do lombo e índice de musculosidade da perna. As cordeiras receberam ração completa misturada calculada para ganho de peso diário de 0,300 kg. Foram realizadas avaliações por ultrassonografia (entre a 12ª e a 13ª costela) e pesagens a cada 14 dias, sendo que os abates ocorriam à medida que as cordeiras atingiam a espessura de gordura pré-determinada: 2,0; 3,0 e 4,0 mm. Não houve efeito para rendimento verdadeiro da carcaça, rendimento comercial da carcaça e índice de compacidade da perna. Foi observado maior rendimento do lombo para cordeiras abatidas com 4,0 mm de espessura de gordura subcutânea. As espessuras de gordura subcutânea não influenciaram a área de olho de lombo, porém animais com 4,0 mm apresentaram maiores medidas. Foram observadas diferenças nas proporções de músculo, osso e gordura da perna entre as espessuras de gordura subcutânea avaliadas. A musculosidade da perna não foi influenciada com o aumento da espessura da gordura subcutânea. Com base neste estudo e também com as exigências do mercado consumidor, recomenda-se o abate de animais com aproximadamente 3,00 mm de gordura. Palavras
The accuracy of the FAMACHA © method was evaluated on the identification of female sheep fed two levels of crude protein, naturally infected with Haemonchus contortus, by means of the correspondent hematocrit value. Forty-seven female sheep of the breeds Santa Inês (n = 16), Texel (n = 16) and Ile de France (n = 15) aged between eight and twelve months were assigned to two treatments, 12 or 16 % crude protein in the diet. All the animals were wormed thirty days before the first data collections, which were done fortnightly between July 2005 and March 2006. The color of the ocular conjunctiva was individually evaluated according to the precepts of the FAMACHA © method and the hematocrit value of each animal was obtained in laboratory. A correlation of 1:0.7991 was found between the hematocrit values and the classification given by the FAMACHA © method aiming to identify animals with different degrees of anemia. The method was efficient to identify animals to worm, thus representing a support in the identification of animals susceptible to Haemonchus contortus.
