Tenderness is the most important organoleptic characteristic of meat, and various methods have been developed to improve it. The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of different conditioning treatments of broiler carcasses on pH, cooking losses, shear values, R-values, and sensory tenderness of breast meat. All measurements were collected for breast muscle as follows: after 24...

an experiment was conducted to assess the influences of different growth promoters on performance, carcass characteristic and intestinal microflora of broiler. day-old broiler chicks from arian strain (384) were used in the completely randomized experimental design during 7-42 days of age. eight rations were formulated as a follow 1: control (without growth promoters); 2-control + formic acid (...

The objective of this study was to estimate the differences in fattening performance, carcass traits and meat characteristics of Prestice Black-Pied (PBP) pigs and (BuxL)x(HxPn) crossbreed pigs (C) reared under organic free-range system or conventional indoor feeding system. PBP pigs under conventional system were characterized by lower average daily gain and worse carcass traits (lower meat pe...

One of gene which involves on mediation an antioxidant cascade in beta cells as intracellular target excess fat intake is Kinesin Family 12 (KIF12). This study aims to identify the diversity SNP g. 9617965 C>T KIF12 and association with carcass characteristic meat quality. The total sample used were 102 ram DNA samples consisted 10 barbados cross sheep (BCS), 52 javanese thin tail (JTT), 15 ...

The effects of contrasting photoperiods (16L:8D vs 8L:16D) and ambient temperatures (5 C vs 18 C vs 31 C) on performance traits of ewe lambs have been evaluated. Seventy-two lambs were paired and allotted to one of six treatment groups in a 2 x 3 factorial experiment. The lambs were fed a pelleted diet ad libitum. throughout the 14-wk study (i.e., as lambs progressed from 12 to 26 wk of age). A...

introduction & aim: the aim the present study is to examine the effects of boswellia serrata triana & planch on (immune response) performance and carcass characteristic in broiler chicks.  experimental: in this study, 360 one day old chicks (ross 308) were allocated to six treatments with four replicates in a completely randomized design for a six week period. treatments consisted of t...

Dobeic M., Kenda E., Mičunovič J., Zdovc I. (2011): Airborne Listeria spp. in the red meat processing industry. Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 441–447. The aim of this study was to determine the potential presence of the airborne Listeria spp. and its correlation with the aerobic mesophilic bacteria and Listeria carcass contamination in three red meat slaughtering and three processing plants. Airborne...
