  • Growth rate and carcass traits in three genotypes of capons = Brzina porasta i osobine trupa pri genotipa kopuna
    Terčič, Dušan ...
    Growth performance and carcass characteristics of capons (castrated coockerels) from three breeds/strains locally presented in Slovenia and Austria were investigated. Growth and feed consumption data ... were collected for a 156-d and 199-d period, when randomly chosen animals were slaugheterd and their carcasses dissected. The feed conversion rate in barred Prelux, Sulmtaler and Styrian capons for the whole growing period was 6.24 kg, 6.32 kg and 7.53 kg, respectively. Average body weight in barred Prelux and Styrian capons increased only in the first 156 days of age, but not further on. Cumulative mortality rate Sulmtaler capons was 19.05 % and was 2.7-to 4.4-fold higher as compared with Styrian and barred Prelux capons (6.90 % and 4.31 % respectively). Sulmtaler capons had the lowest abdominal fat content. Barred Prelux capons, as compared to capons from other two breeds were characterized by higher pre-slaughter weight, higher carcass weight and higherdressing out percentages. This indicates that layer type barred Prelux cockerels have a potential to be a capons put to profitable use.
