INTERIOR PECULIARITIES OF COARSE-WOOL SHEEP BREEDS IN THE SOUTH-EAST OF KAZAKHSTAN
The article presents the results of studies purposed to determine the interior characteristics of ram lambs' carcasses of coarse-wool sheep breeds, when sold for mutton in the year of their birth. The interior features of lambs of Edilbaevskaya, Gissar and Kazakh coarse-wool breeds, under the conditions of the south-eastern region of Kazakhstan have been studied. It is shown that the best development of internal organs has been identified in Gissar ram lambs, characterized as animals with more intensive development of metabolic processes. This was reflected in the highest indices of mutton produced by them, due to the tendency of producing higher mutton yields of desired quality.
