Conteúdo: 	Abstract : 94 male Muzaffarnagri and Corriedale X Muzaffarnagri lambs were slaughtered at 30 kg live weight or 9 mth of age. Carcass data, adjusted for age and weight of dam at lambing, and year and season of lambing, were used to develop prediction equations for carcass composition and yield based on live lamb and carcass traits. Among live traits, slaughter weight (kg) was the best predictor of fat percentage and eye-muscle area; the partial regression coefficients were 0.20 plus or minus 0.09 and 0.15 plus or minus 0.05 (both P<0.05). Generally, the live body measurements were not good predictors. Among carcass traits, carcass weight, cannon-bone length and carcass length were important in predicting composition and eye-muscle area; the R2 values for prediction equations ranged from 17 to 62%.
