| dc.description.abstract | Twenty four (24) weaned non-pedigreed guinea pigs were used to investigate the effect of sex on carcass characteristics and some physical properties of meat. The animals were fed two diets (T1 = low protein and high energy; T2 = high protein and low energy). The experiment lasted for 12 weeks. Parameters studied included: live body weight, slaughtered weight, eviscerated weight, dressing %, as well as the primal cuts and internal organs. results showed that live body weight, slaughtered weight, eviscerated weight, dressing %, head, hind leg, fore leg, abdominal region, intestinal weight, heart and lungs were all significantly (P<0.05) affected. It was concluded that sex has an effect on the carcass characteristics of guinea pigs. | en_US |
