in order to estimate economic values of productive traits (meat, milk and wool) in taleshi native sheep breed of iran, records from economic parameters and performance of local taleshi flocks were used. the economic values of traits were used to select the maximum profit estimation also to study the sensitivity rate of the model the effects of 20 percent increase / decrease in the price of milk...

An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of supplementing broiler feed with hesperidin or naringin, on growth performance, carcass characteristics, breast meat quality and the oxidative stability of breast and thigh meat. Two hundred and forty 1-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 6 groups. One of the groups served as a control (C) and was given commercial basa...

nutrigenomics applies genomic technologies to study how nutrients affect expression of genes. with the advent of the post genomic era and with the use of functional genomic tools, the new strategies for evaluating the effects of nutrition on production efficiency and nutrient utilization are becoming available. nutrigenomics plays an efficient role in various fields of animal health like nutrit...

This study aimed to produce omega-3-emriched broiler meat by using ultrasonicated flaxseed oil nanoemulsions coated with whey protein-sodium alginate. Three hundred 1-d-old (Ross, 308) male broiler chicks were allocated randomly to 5 experimental treatments with 4 replicate pens. Experimental treatments included basal diet (BD), basal diet plus flaxseed oil (BD+FO, 1 mL/kg/BW), basal diet plus ...

Turkey meat and processed products are very popular in Portugal. However, no studies have been made to assess turkey meat quality. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of turkey breast meat in a Portuguese slaughterhouse, differentiating it to obtain better industrial management, performance, and consumer contentment. Nine hundred and seventy-seven male turkeys (from 16 ...

Functional properties of meat constituents are known to be of importance for raw meat materials carried through the manufacturing phases that result in "processed meat products." Major functional properties are: (a) water-binding ability (or water-holding capacity); (b) fat stabilization (or fat emulsification); (c) particle-to-particle binding ability (or protein gelation); and (d) the develop...

background: these findings from several observational studies, investigated the association between red meat consumption and gliomas, were inconsistent. we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies to summarize available date on the relation between meat intake and risk of glioma. materials and methods: a systematic literature search of relevant reports published ...

Advances in the fields of molecular genetics and genomics have been considerable over the past several years. Recent discoveries in human genetics and in molecular biology have led to the development of a very useful genetic map of the pig. Several recent quantitative trait loci (QTL) scans and candidate gene analyses have identified important chromosomal regions and individual genes associated...
