Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop predictive equations for carcase composition using neck tissue composition as predictors in multiparous Pelibuey ewes (n=50, body weight = 39 ± 7 kg and body condition score = 2.56 ± 0.98 points) were used to develop predictive equations for carcase tissue composition and weight from neck composition traits applying multiple linear regression. The accuracy of the model was evaluated considering the values of determination coefficient (r 2) and root mean square error (RMSE). Carcase and neck traits sh...
