Slaughtering Age Effect on Carcass Traits and Meat Quality of Italian Heavy Draught Horse Foals
The present work describes the effect of slaughtering age on horse carcass traits and on meat quality. Eighteen male Italian heavy draught horse (IHDH) breed foals were employed in the study. Soon after foaling they were randomly subdivided in 3 groups according to 3 age at slaughtering classes: 6 months old, 11 months old and 18 months old. Live weight, hot carcass weight and dressing percenta...
متن کاملRetrospective and statistical analysis of breeding management on the Italian Heavy Draught Horse breed.
This study investigated some aspects of breeding management in the Italian Heavy Draught Horse breed, aiming at improving its efficiency at stud farm level. A first aim was to evaluate the risk of unsuccessful reproduction in mares after an early (3 years) or normal (4 years) age at first foaling, in interaction with different stud rearing systems. A second objective was the examination of the ...
متن کاملGenetic correlations between competition traits and traits scored at breeding field-tests in Icelandic horses
Relationships between breeding field-test traits and competition traits were studied to investigate whether the latter could be usefully included in the genetic evaluation of Icelandic horses. The current method of genetic evaluation is based on records from breeding field-tests only. The breeding field-test data included 16401 individual records of Icelandic horses evaluated in 11 countries du...
متن کاملGenetic Analysis of Type Traits for the Italian Jersey Breed
Anafi (Associazione Nazionale Allevatori Frisona Italiana) is also in charge of the Italian Jersey cattle genetic evaluations. Since interest about this dairy breed is steadily mounting, (co)variance components for 16 type traits of Italian Jersey cows were estimated, in order to start thinking of how to develop a new and more comprehensive selection index. The canonical transformation, in the ...
متن کاملSire Evaluation by Best Linear Unbiased Prediction for Categorically Scored Type Traits
Best linear unbiased prediction to predict category frequencies of future progeny of a sire for type traits scored in mutually exclusive categories is described. The method accounts for automatic covariances among categories and is comparable to prediction for multiple traits. The method does not require linearity of measurements and also allows nonlinear economic values to be assigned to each ...
