Impala had the highest dressing percentage while kudu had the highest live weight and carcass weight. The meat quality of kudu and impala was compared. Carcass Grading, Weighing, and Stamping.
Impala had the highest dressing percentage while kudu had the highest live weight and carcass weight. Averages for Calculations. Kudu had the lowest fat content while female animals had a higher fat and myoglobin content than males. Two subspecies are recognised—the common impala, and the larger and darker black-faced impala. Impala had the highest dressing percentage while kudu had the highest live weight and carcass weight. Sub-adults had a higher ash content than adults. Kudu had the lowest fat content while female animals had a higher fat and myoglobin content than males.

Impala had a higher (P<0.05) proportional percent protein in the carcass compared to springbok or blesbok. Impala rams (eight) and ewes (eight) cropped commercially in Zimbabwe were found to have a similar dressout proportion (580 g kg −1), although the males had a heavier live weight (49.4 ± 4.606 kg) than the females (33.5 ± 3.417 kg).

Impala had the highest dressing percentage while kudu had the highest live weight and carcass weight. Blesbok: Live, on the hoof (mature male) = 75kg, dressing percentage = 53%, approx weight of slaughtered carcass = 32kg - 44kg Impala: Live, on the hoof (mature male) = 60kg, dressing percentage = 58%, approx weight of slaughtered carcass = 22kg - 46kg The potential of this species for the export market is also discussed. Buffalo are at 50% slaughter weight, because when you gut them and you get rid of all that extra crankiness they carry around. The external o al (head, feet and skin) were removed and weighed first, followed by measurement of the horns. The origin of differences in growth parameters between impala from the Mara Research Station (Mara) and the Messina Experimental Farm (Messina) was investigated. Pork carcass grading is generally based on carcass weight and a measurement of the fat and lean content of the carcass on the slaughter floor before chilling. Thereafter, the impala were skinned, eviscerated and dressed [23]. The meat quality of kudu and impala was compared.

Sub-adults had a higher ash content than adults. Live weight and carcass weight differed between species, genders and age groups.

At the slaughter facility, the undressed carcass weight (full body weight) of the exsanguinated impala carcasses were recorded. undressed carcass weight (full body weight) of the exsanguinated impala carcasses were recorded.
