Abstract

Patterns of change in two indices of carcass shape conformation and muscularity during growth of entire and castrated improved Boer bucks were investigated. Results indicated that heavier goats produced carcasses with higher conformation score and muscularity index than lighter ones. However both characteristics were not significantly P0.05 affected by castration.
