M. Clarke, JR Wythes

Abstract

in south west Queensland were studied. The Zebu cross steers were younger (7 v. 9 months) and lighter (195 v. 221 kg, P < 0.05) at commencement, had slightly lower final liveweight (571 v. 579 kg, P> 0.05), higher liveweight gain (376 v. 358 kg, P c 0.05), heavier carcass weight (311 v. 306 kg, P> 0.05), higher dressing percentage (54.5 V. 52.8%, P c 0.05) and lower P8 rump fat depth (13.0 v. 17.6 mm, P < 0.05) than the Shorthorn steers.
