Patterns of growth and partitioning of fat depots in tropical fat-tailed Menz and Horro sheep breeds
A total of 147 Menz and Horro lambs of both sexes were serially slaughtered and dissected at five different stages of growth to define the pattern of growth and partitioning of fat among body depots in indigenous Ethiopian Menz and Horro sheep breeds. The GLM procedure of SAS and allometric growth e...
