| Sumario: | Productive performance, carcass grade and yield of feedlot-fed Holstein Argentino young bulls and steers have been compared. All the animals were slaughtered before 2 years of age. Young bulls had average daily gains 12,9% greater than steers and 14,9% greater feed efficiency. Carcass yield of intact males was 2% higher than steers, and obtained a higher proportion of fat type 1. This study shows that young bulls have a better productive performance than steers. Age, nutrition and management of animals have reduced the importance of potential disadvantages. The existence of a new category of slaughter in Argentina called MEJ (young intact male) will provide higher yielding and heavier carcasses. |
