Swamp Buffalo (218 kg) and eight heads male of PO Cattle (217 kg) were
maintained in the feedlot system for 10 weeks. The body size was measured
during the maintenance and percentage of carcass and non carcass were taken
from the calculations of carcass/non carcass weight per live weight ×100%, data
was analyzed using t-test method. The results showed that various parts of the
