| Abstract: |
Meat production potential and carcass characteristics of 8 local male buffalo calves were
studied. A group of 4 calves (treatment group) were kept under concentrate feeding,
whereas, another group having similar number of calves (control group) were kept under
general village feeding practices. The average dry matter intake and the initial body
weight of both groups were not statistically different between themselves. However,
during a growth trial period of 157 days the final body weight of treatment group was
significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of the control group i. e. 267kg and 225 kg
respectively. Dressing percentage and meat percentage of treatment group was
significantly higher than that of control group (P<O. 05). Whilst, bone percentage of
control group was significantly higher (P<0.05) as compared to the treatment group. |
