Description:
SummaryMarked significant differences were found between the crossbreed means in the percentages of palmitoleic, stearic, octadecenoic and the ratio of palmitoleic to stearic acids and in the percentages of subcutaneous, intramuscular and internal fats.The percentage of carcass fats and age were strongly correlated with the acids palmitoleic, stearic (negative), octadecenoic and the ratio of palmitoleic to stearic. Covariance adjustment for percentage carcass fat and age made little difference to the significant differences of the variates which indicates that significant breed differences exist between these variates.
