Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the replacement of corn silage by pressed citrus pulp (PCP) on carcass characteristics and non-carcass components of Santa Ines lambs. Twenty-four lambs with average age of 90 days and initial weight of 18 kg were maintained in feedlot for 67 days, fed with increasing levels of PCP replacing corn silage (0, 25, 50, 75%, DM basis). There was no difference (p>0.05) for live weight at slaughter (32.8 kg), hot carcass yield (44.7%), true yield (50.3%) and non-carcass components. In relation to cut yields, only loin yield was affected (p<0.05) by the diet, which showed quadratic response. For the carcass measurements, only the arm length was affected by the diet, showing quadratic behavior. The percentage of fat and muscle showed quadratic behavior according to replacement levels. The results suggest that pressed citrus pulp can substitute corn silage for lambs in feedlot without affecting the carcass characteristics and the non-carcass components.
