Carcass Characteristics of Salem Black Kids under Intensive and Semi-Intensive Systems of Management

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the carcass characteristics of Salem Black kids under intensive and semi-intensive systems of management. Sixteen weaned kids were selected at random and they were placed in two treatments comprising of eight kids in each group. The dressing percentage of intensive and semi-intensively reared kids differed highly significantly(P< 0.01). The primal cuts percentage did not differ significantly for leg, loin, rack, breast and fore shank and the neck and shoulder. The loin eye area was highly significant (P<0.01) between intensive and semi- intensively reared kids.
