Daily weight gain and dry matter intake significantly affected by crossbreeding which were the highest in Afshari x Zandi group （0.180 ± 0.004 and 1.415 ±0.025, respectively）, but it had no effect on feed conversion ratio. The genetic group affected final feedlot weight, empty body weight, warm carcass weight and carcass efficiency which Afshari ± Zandi group had higher amounts （44.70 ± 1.25 kg, 38.85 1.05 kg, 22.63 ± 0.95 kg and 58.63 ±0.77%, respectively）. The breed of ram lambs had no significant effect on the percentage of thigh, loin, shoulder＇, brisket, fat tail, tallow and total removal fat; however the percentage of thigh was different between two crossbred groups. Lean and fat percentage was higher in Fashandi x Zandi crosses.展开更多
