Abstract

The article presents the results of research on the meat productivity of crossbred ram s obtained from crossing Queens of the Kazakh broad-tailed rough-haired breed with sheep-producers of the Ham pshire breed, grown in the farm "Kuat" of the Abay Raon of the East Kazakhstan region.

   In the control group, the pulp m ass in the lamb carcass was 10.55 kg, the m eat yield was 74.3 percent. The m ass of bones in the carcass is 3.65 kg, the yield is 25.7% . In the experim ental group, the pulp m ass in the carcass of crossbreeds was 77.5% , and the bone yield was 22.5%.

   The coefficient of m eat content, which determ ines the degree of m eat content of sheep, the ratio of flesh and bones in the carcass of sheep was high (2.9 and 3.4).
