ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize carcass, meat quality, sensory and textural parameters, as well as muscle fiber types from 16 Moura pigs, as a local pig raised in outdoor production system, and evaluate differences with 16 conventional commercial (CC) pigs, raised intensively, representing the principal pork type, widely available in national market. Carcass measurements, liquid loss and cooked pork texture tests, proximal composition analysis of pork and backfat, and sensory evaluations with 104 pork consumers were carried out. The […]

ABSTRACT The effects of diets containing various levels (0, 10, and 20%) of cottonseed meal (CSM) and enzyme mixture (0.1%) on quail serum iron, haemoglobin, and haematocrit values and colour values of breast meat were investigated. Four hundred fifty male and female Japanese quail chicks at one day of age were used, and these were divided into six treatment groups. The animals were fed six different diets: a control diet without CSM and enzyme mixture (CSM0−), a control diet without […]

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the association of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and fatty acid-binding protein 3 (FABP3) gene polymorphisms with carcass and meat quality traits in Aberdeen Angus bulls. Two hundred seventy-four Angus bulls were genotyped using PCR-RFLP and Sanger sequencing. Next, the association of SCD and FABP3 genetic variants with traits such as live weight, average daily weight gain, carcass weight (both hot and cold), dressing percentage, carcass length, back fat thickness, carcass color score, pH, and marbling score was […]
