Abstract
Twenty each of open- and wooIly-faced 6-year-old Romney ewes were slaughtered. No significant differences were noted in carcass composition, weights of internaiorgans, or the weights and lengths of certain long bones. The weight of the stornach contents was significantly (P < 5 per cent) heavier in the open-faced ewes.Keywords
