Effect of Finnsheep crossbreeding on Lamon sheep performance: post-mortem traits

Effect of Finnsheep crossbreeding on Lamon sheep performance: post-mortem traits

This experiment was conducted in order to study the effects of crossbreeding of the local breed Lamon (L) with Finnsheep (F),on the post-mortem performance of F, lambs (F x L). Nine L and 8 F x L ram-lambs were fattened with a diet (11.6 MJ M.E./kg d.m.) based on maize silage, dried sugar beet pulp...
