In some regions characterized by the presence of large pasture areas, it is<br>important to maintain feeding during the pasture period, when beef production occurs without serious material and<br>labor investments. The purpose of the research was a comparative assessment of the meat productivity of the Red<br>steppe, Brown Swiss and Aberdeen-Angus bull calves when feeding in combination with final fattening in the<br>conditions of Hammer agricultural company of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. For the experiment, three groups of<br>8-month-old bull calves were formed with 15 animals each: Red steppe (I group), Brown Swiss (II group) and<br>Aberdeen Angus (III group). The experimental groups of calves were reared for 160 days, feeding - for 142 days and<br>final fattening - for 60 days. At the end of the rearing, 3 animals from each group, after feeding - 5 animals each and<br>after the final fattening - 7 animals each were slaughtered. In all production cycles, bull calves of the AberdeenAngus breed differed in maximum values of average daily gain in live weight, which ensured them over the entire<br>experiment period the dominancy over peers of Brown Swiss breed by 53 g (P&gt;0.999), of Red steppe - by 91 g<br>(P&gt;0.999) at the lowest cost of feed per 1 kg of live weight gain (an average of 0.32-0.64 energy feed units and<br>0.03-0.06 kg of digestible protein). Comparison of the slaughter qualities of young stock of different origin in<br>different production cycles indicates a significant superiority of the Aberdeen-Angus bull calves, although significant<br>differences in slaughter yield occurred only after the final fattening (by 1.5-2.8%, P&gt;0.95- 0.999). The obtained<br>values for flesh and bones content in the carcass of experimental young animals provided the best ratio among bulls<br>of the Aberdeen-Angus breed, whose coefficient full meatiness was higher by 0.18-0.33 units by the end of the<br>growing period, and by 0.24-0.43 units after the feeding, and after final fattening - by 0.18-0.34 units.
