This study evaluated the effect of ractopamine (RAC) on the performance of finishing pigs and the meat quality of these animals. Seventy crossbred pigs (35 barrows and 35 females) selected for high gain of lean meat, with initial weight of 77.1±0.32 kg were distributed in randomized blocks with five treatments (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 ppm RAC in the diet) and seven replications during 28 days. The experimental unit was represented by a male and a female pig. Regarding […]

Two hundred male Ross broiler chicks were raised from 10 to 40 days of age and fed a corn-soy diet with 4% of fresh or oxidized poultry offal fat to evaluate the effects of dietary fat quality on broiler performance and on oxidative stability of frozen thigh meat during storage. Fresh poultry fat, characterized by low concentration of oxidation products determined by specific absorbances of 5.80 and 0.69 at 232 and 270 nm, respectively, was supplied by a local renderer […]
