Body development, carcass, and meat quality of confined lambs fed increasing levels of whole rice meal

Abstract: The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effect of whole rice meal (WRM) inclusion in the concentrate upon body development, carcass traits, and meat quality of lambs. Twenty-four castrated lambs with an average initial body weight of 17.90 ± 2.72 kg were randomly blocked according to two genetic groups (Corriedale and Texel by Corriedale crossbreds). Three isocaloric (11.3 MJ/kg of metabolizable energy) and isonitrogenous (17 % crude protein) diets were offered to the animals for 74 days. Diets consist… Show more

“…The use of creep feeding promoted a greater weight gain during the growth period, increasing the average daily gain (ADG) of the lambs by 23 g/100 g. This weight gain can justify the use of this technology to provide the largest batch earliness, improved feed efficiency and weight gain, and ease of adaptation to the feedlot (Biagiotti et al, 2013;Souza et al, 2013;Rech et al, 2014).…”
