A.  aDensity values of carcass joints of local Egyptian goats.  c1993  aDensity measurements were determined for different joint sections from 37 indigenous goat carcasses. Correlation coefficients between density of different carcass cuts and percentages of muscle and fat in the rib saddle joint were estimated. Likewise, regression equations for predicting various components of different carcass cuts were also calculated. Specific gravit  of different carcass cuts were significantly related to muscle and fat percentages in the rib-saddle joint. Data suggest that density measurements may provide a practical estimate of goat carcass components.  aCaprino  aCarcaça  tSmall Ruminant Researchgv.12, n.2, p.221-225, 1993.
