Abstract

The management system for meat production depends on the feed intake relations understanding and its nutrients, animal genotype, meat production and quality. In this work, some factors are described affecting food efficiency in lambs as well as the tissue composition of non-fat meat, fat content and carcass quality( fat and meat amount). Image techniques (ultrasound) are being used having special attention with linear regression development models, for live weight and tissue measurements (subcutaneous fat thickness, longissimus muscle deepness and area), as independent variables.
