The aim of this work was to compare the methods of malondialdehyde detection, as the main secondary product of the lipid peroxidation process, in meat and meat products. Malondialdehyde measurements were performed by two modified methods, the 2-thiobarbituric acid spectrophotometric method and the reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography in raw, mechanically-deboned chicken meat and...

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of one-week feeding of flaxseeds (rolled/extruded) on performance, n-3 fatty acids and oxidative stability of meat in broiler chickens. Seven pelleted diets (36-42d) were provided in a 3×2 factorial arrangement with three flaxseed levels (5, 10, and 15%) and two processing methods (rolled/extruded) and a zero flaxseed control diet. Be...

conjugated linoleic acids (cla) are natural constituents of meat and dairy products from ruminants, originating from bacterial biohydrogenation in the rumen. cla supplementation increases the health benefits of animal-derived foods. there are inconsistent reports of the effects of dietary cla on chicken’s performance; however, the majority of previous reports cite anti-lipogenic effects of cla....

an experiment was carried out to evaluate and compare the effects of organic and inorganic selenium (se) sources on broiler male birds (ross 308). uniform broiler male chicks divided in to five groups with six replicates were fed with either normal feed (without supplemental se, negative control), 0.25 ppm of inorganic se, 0.5 ppm of inorganic se, 0.25 ppm of inorganic se + 0.25 ppm of organic ...

a 42-d study was conducted to evaluate the influence of full-fat flaxseed (fs) and canola seed (cs) on broiler performance, fatty acid (fa) profile of meat, and the oxidative stability of meat during frozen storage. a total of 324 one-day old broiler chicks were randomly attributed to 6 experimental groups and fed iso-energetic and isonitrogenous diets as follows, c: control (soybean-corn); cs1...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mushroom waste and probiotic levels on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in broiler chickens. A 2 × 3 factorial arrangement with two levels of probiotic supplementation (0 and recommended rate) and three levels of mushroom waste inclusion (0%, 3%, and 6%) was used in a completely randomized design using male broi...

Objective: A research was carried out to investigate the effects of nettle (Urtica dioica) powder (NP) and essential oil (NE) on performance, blood metabolites, carcass characteristics and antioxidant stability in broiler chicks. Methods: The treatments were T1: control diet, T2: control diet + 5g/kg NP, T3: control diet + 10 g/kg NP, T4: control diet + 5g/kg NE and T5: control diet + ...
