dc.description.abstractBuffalo has shown a favorable growth performance regarding weight gains under grazing conditions rather than feeding them with concentrate rations. While buffalo may have a heavier body, its dressing yield is lower than cattle due to a higher percentage of non-carcass components, specifically the hide and head. Buffalo evidence more desirable carcass attributes than cattle, so their carcasses might show advantages when graded by quality. Both species present a high variation in carcass yield of individual subprimals. However, buffalo offers a high yield in some high-value subprimals, allowing different muscle-specific commercialization strategies.
