The research was carried out on fattened young male sheep of the Palas Meat Breed, the Palas Prolific Breed as well as on 2 hybrids F1 Rouge de L'Ouest x Palas Meat Breed and F1Texel x Palas Meat Breed. Weight gain to live weight of 40.0 kg/head, slaughter yield (R1 and R2), feed consumption efficiency (Ef), carcass tissue structure and carcass quality grading according to the EUROP grid were monitored. All data were statistically processed and interpreted.References
