DIMENSIONS OF CARCASS AND INTERNAL ORGANS IN YOUNG SHEEP, UNDER CONDITIONS OF GRAZING ON ASSOCIATIONS OF PERENNIAL GRAMINACEOUS AND LEGUME
Keywords:
temporary pasture, associations of graminaceous and perennial legume, young sheep, growth and development dimensionsAbstract
The temporary pastures’ floristic structure influences directly the growth and
development of young sheep during grazing. The associations, beside the
graminaceous and perennial legume species (white clover and birdsfoot trefoil),
contribute mostly to the increase of carcass dimension and organ weight. The quality
of the forage from such a pasture, better balanced in terms of energy and protein,
influences all growth and development parameters in young sheep.
