Abstract: The study was conducted to determine the effect of feeding diets, on growth performance and relationship between carcass measurements, slaughter weight and hot carcass weight, of 72 intact male desert bucks divided randomly into three groups; each group (24 males), the animals were slaughtered according to halal standard procedures. The results obtained indicated that correlation coefficients between slaughters weight and carcass measurements were significantly higher (P <0.01) and positive. In free grazing group correlation coefficients between hot carcass weight and carcass measurements were significantly (P <0.01) and positive. Also the relationship between slaughters weight and carcass measurements was significant and positive except internal chest length. In the group that grazing and supplemented with diets showed positive and significantly (P <0.01) correlation coefficients between hot carcass weight and carcass measurements and between slaughters weight and carcass measurements were significant and positive except carcass length. The zero grazing groups obtained non not significant correlation coefficients between hot carcass weight and carcass measurements except slaughter weight and external chest length.
