The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different commercial strain (conformation versus conventional) on performance, carcass yield and parts, physical determinations (thickness, width and length of breast fillet) and breast meat quality (weight loss for cooking, shear force and pH) in broilers with 35, 42 and 49 days of age. Two thousand and four hundred day-old chicks were assigned to a randomized 5×2 factorial design, with five strains (conformation: A, B and C; and conventional D […]
