Resumen

A determination of how the amount of allotted feedlot living space influences both production indicators as well as carcass and meat quality traits obtained from Holstein steers was performed by forming two treatment groups, T14: 65 steers/pen (14 m2/head of space allowances) and T16: 57 steers/pen (16 m2/head of space allowances), with five replications each treatment. The average arrival weight 238±0.74kg. During the fattening period the cattle was feed twice a day with commercial diets. The steers were slaughtered after a 261-day period. At the moment of the first reimplant a greater average body weight was found in T16 vs T14 (384.25 vs 378.38 kg; P<0.05) and the difference continued until day 261 (612.35 vs 595.54 kg; P<0.05); regarding ADG, hot carcass weight and cold carcass weight the result were: 1.50 vs 1.46 kg (P<0.05), of ADG kg/d; 367.34 vs 360.35 kg (P<0.05) and 366.68 vs 358.78 kg (P<0.05). No difference between treatments were found in dorsal fat, marbling, pH and meat color. The results suggest that an increase from 14 m2/animal to 16 m2/animal improves the production results as well as the hot and cold carcass weight, with no effect on the quality traits of the carcass and beef.
