Prediction of physical body composition and carcass components from live-weight and body measurements in Ethiopian highland Zebu (Bos indicus) oxen
Body measurements and slaughter weight of body component (carcass and edible non-carcass) of 63 zebu oxen were used in this trial. Out of these 9 of them were slaughtered at the initial stage of the experiment. The remaining 54 oxen were allocated to various levels of feeding or plane of nutrition....
