Growth and development indices of the Kazakh horses of Jabe type are expressed in intensive growth
with favorable seasons of the year and slowdown in growth during the unfavorable seasons. At the same time, the
difference in growth and development between stallions and fillies is insignificant.
Young stock of Kazakh horses of different ages during the period of feeding and intensive fattening is well
added in live weight. With spring feeding, 12 months old foals gain 40.6 kg in live weight, 24 months old ones –
35.2 kg. During the autumn feeding period, 6 months old foals increase their live weight on 46.3 kg, 18 months old
foals - on 37.2 kg and 30 monthly – 35.1 kg.
During the fattening, the increase in live weight was 47.3 kg in 6-month-old stallions, 45.8 kg in 12-month-old
stallions, 40.7 kg in 18-month-olds, 41.6 kg in 24-month-olds and 5 kg in 30 month-olds.
Slaughter yield in 12 and 24 months old horses at feeding was 54.6–53.2%, at fattening, respectively, 55.3–
53.8%. In the 6, 18, 30 months old stallions, during the autumn feeding, the slaughter yield was 56.7, 53.6, 52.3%,
and during the winter fattening it was 56.9, 53.8 and 52.7%, respectively.
When studying the morphological composition of carcasses in stallions of different ages, it was established that
6-, 12-, and 18-month-old foals have a relative bone content higher than in 24- and 30-month-old foals, the content of
pulp in the carcasses of 165.8 and 162.9 kg; the advantage is for 30-month-old colts. The content of connective tissue
is higher in younger stallions from 3.3% to 3.8% compared to 24- and 30-month-old animals of 2.5-2.7%.
In terms of the class ratio of carcass parts in stallions of all ages from 43.3 to 46.5% fall on Class I, from 34.3 to
36.4% on Class II, from 15.0 to 28.3% on “out of class” (kazy and zhal) and from 6.1 to 7.4% go to Class III.
According to chemical composition, the meat of 24- and 30-month-old stallions differs from the meat of 6-, 12-
and 18-month-old animals with a lower fat content and is more high-caloric. 1 kg of meat contains 2098–2398 kcal.
The meat of young colts contains more protein 19.27–19.07% than fat 9.01–10.07% and is an easily digestible
dietary product.
