Indagine sulla produzione di agnelli leggeri allevati nella regione Abruzzo con sistema tradizionale: primi risultati.

Abstract

Forty Appenninica or Bergamasca x Appenninica lambs, half males and half females, traditionally raised in 4 farms of the Teramo Province were slaughtered at 60 d of age (20 kg +/- 3,37). Slaughter data show a high variability of data, particularly as regard to dressing out percentage, pelt and digestive tract incidence. Also carcass classification following Reg. CEE n. 2137/92 and n. 461/93 allow to conclude that Abruzzo's light lamb is not a product sufficiently characterized yet and standardized
