| description | <b>Aim:</b> This research was carried out to evaluate the preliminary
body weights of the Limousin Cattles, imported from abroad,
in Turkeys conditions on the cattles fattening performance in
terms of its technical and economic aspects.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods: </b>The material of the research was composed
of the data belonging to the 270 days of fattening about
6-12 month-old 60 male Limousin cattle, imported from abroad.
The cattle of which the initial live-weights was 260 kg or less
were defined as Group I, those between 261 and 280 kg as Group
II and those over 281 kg as Group III.<p>
<b>Results: </b>According to the results of the research, the preliminary
body weight was calculated as 273,63±21,98 kg, the final
body weight as 622,70±19,94 kg, the average daily body weight
gain as 1,29 kg and also the feed conversion ratio as 6,45 kg.
The highest profit per animal was found in the group 1, while
the average live weight cost per animal was 12.27 TL/kg (3.40
US$/kg) and the live weight increase cost per animal was found
to be 8.58 TL/kg (2.38 US$/kg), respectively.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> The enterprises conduct their fattening activities
with different breeds of imported animals. The evaluation
for the limousin cattle revealed that breeding the low weight
young animals at the beginning of the fattening increases the
enterprises profit per animal. On the other hand, because of
the high costs of fattening material, it is noteworthy to carry out
such studies in livestock animals of different breeds in terms of
effective use of resources. |
