Abstract

The study determined the effects of breed and a diet containing linseed on the growth and carcass composition characteristics of heifers. It was concluded that purebred Limousin heifers grew less rapidly and less efficiently but produced heavier carcasses with a more favourable meat to bone ratio compared to purebred CH heifers.
