Abstract

Gât Golaș de Transilvania breed (GGT) is part of Romania's genetic patrimony. Economic inequality compared to other similar genetic structures causes an unprecedented numerical decrease and breed entry into a vulnerable area. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the productive status of the GGT breed compared to other genetic types under identical conditions of feeding and housing.

Production parameters, in terms of live weight, average daily gain, weight at slaughter, slaughter efficiency, weight of the butchery regions, and carcass chemical composition were estimated in GGT breed, F1 hybrid with GGT and a commercial hybrid. A total 150 records belonging to 150 individuals (male and female) which coming from these three genetic types were analyzed. According to values of traits and t test, between three genetic types there are statistically significant differences, under identical conditions of feeding and housing.
