Protein and energy retentions in carcass or whole fish were negatively correlated to dietary protein levels.
However, there were no significant differences in carcass characteristics between lambs of the four groups.
Results of slaughtering observations showed that no differences could be detected in carcass and internal organs of the calves that received different diets.
Lipid content was higher in carcass and fillet of fishes fed earthworm- and maggot meals-based diets than that of those fed fish meal-based diet.
Intensive breeding programs, designed to improve lean meat content in pigs, have considerably increased the amount of meat in carcass.
The effect of dietary CP upon ash and water deposition in carcass was similar as for PD (P<0.001).
There were no differences in carcass yield (P = 0.4027) and loin eye area (P = 0.1005) among the treatments.
Increased dietary protein level resulted in decreased protein efficiency ratio, hepatosomatic index, and lipid level in carcass or whole fish.
No significant difference (p > 0.05) was found in carcass protein and ash contents among the dietary treatments.
Identifying sources of variability in carcass processing activities is central to the construction of inferences about primary consumption as well as production of storable and transportable by-products.
Fat deposition and energy retention in carcass, organs, and empty bodies were greater (P < 0.05) in NM than in HM lambs.
