Abstract
1. The effect of four different planes of nutrition of lambs until they reach 30 1b. dressed carcass weight on the development of the form of the ribs is studied.2. The growth in length of the ribs is found to be more influenced by age and less by the plane of nutrition than their growth in thickness, and is not reflected in the weight of the ribs.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
