Abstract
It was aimed to increase the quantity of kid meat, to increase the quality of carcasses by industrial crossbreeding which determines the improvement of the performances of the obtained products, associating the quality of two breeds, having benefits of the effect of complementarities and heterozis , using the technologies of intensive (120 days) and semi-intensive (200 days) fattening. There were achieved good rates of body weight gain, higher at the crossbreds comparatively to those of the kids of Carpathian breed, reaching a final weight of 28.74 kg at the kids of Carpathian breed and of 32.69 kg at the crossbred kids fattened in semi-intensive system and of 29.23 kg at the kids of Carpathian breed and of 31.51 kg at the crossbred kids fattened in intensive system. At the control slaughtering the yield was of 43.11% at the kids of Carpathian breed and of 45.53% at the crossbred kids fattened in semi-intensive system, and at the kids fattened in intensive system the slaughter yield was of 44.68% at the kids of Carpathian breed and of 45.76% at the crossbred kids. At the commercial cutting the carcass meat of 1st quality was of 50.25% at the kids of Carpathian breed and of 51.78% at the crossbred kids fattened in semi-intensive system, and at the kids fattened in intensive system of 51.27% at the kids of Carpathian breed and of 52.88% at the crossbred kids.
