Effect Of Genotype, Finishing System, And Sex On Physiochemical Characteristics Of Goat Meat [efeito Do Genótipo, Do Sistema De Terminação E Do Sexo, Sobre As Características Físico-químicas Da Carne De Cabritos]

Seventy-eight kids of both sexes and five genotypes were used: Alpine, 1/2 Boer + 1/2 Alpine (1/2 BA), 3/4 Boer + 1/4 Alpine, 1/2 Anglo-nubian + 1/2 Alpine and "tricross" (1/2 Anglo-nubian + 1/4 Boer + 1/4 Alpine) with initial average weight of 14.1 ± 2.5. The objective was to evaluate the effect of genotype, finishing system, and sex on the physiochemical characteristics of goat meat. Finishing systems were: ST1 - kid + dam in pasture and ST2 - weaned kid and feedlot. Kids in ST1 were kept in an area with Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania, and after grazing, water and mineral salt/mix were fed ad libitum to the animals. The animals in ST2 were confined in collective pens distributed according to genotypes and received diet with 16% CP and 73% TDN. The values of pH, a* (red content), Cooking Loss (CL), and Ether Extract (EE) percentage were influenced by genotype. Values for red content (a*) and L* (brightness), CL and percentages of moisture, protein, EE, and ash were influenced by the finishing system. Longissimus dorsi muscle from animals 1/2 BA exhibited better physiochemical characteristics. For greater tenderness and higher percentages of fat, consumers should choose female kid goat meat.314992997Aberle, E.D., Properties of fresh meat (1994) Principles of Meat Science, pp. 109-116. , In: ABERLE, E.

Desempenho e qualidade da carne de frangos de corte alimentados com diferentes níveis de sorgo em substituição ao milho

Avaliaram-se o desempenho e a qualidade da carne de frangos de corte alimentados com diferentes níveis de sorgo, do cultivar SAARA, com 0,49g/kg de tanino, em substituição ao milho. Os 2600 pintos sexados de um dia de idade, da linhagem Ross 308, foram distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com esquema fatorial 5&times;2 (cinco níveis de sorgo - 0, 25, 50, 75 e 100% e dois sexos), e quatro repetições de 65 aves por unidade experimental. Não houve efeito (P>0,05) da substituição do milho pelo sorgo sobre as características de desempenho, de rendimentos de carcaça, carne de peito e pernas, de composição química e sensoriais. O pH observado nas carnes de peito e pernas foi maior para os machos (P0.05). Muscle tissue from males had higher pH values than that from females, and muscle pH decreased as sorghum replaced corn in the diet (P<0.05). Loin length, width and thickness were larger for males. Breast meat from males had higher cooking loss and required greater shear force than breast meat from females (P<0.05). With increasing level of sorghum in the diet, the L value (level of light) of breast and leg muscle increased, whereas a value (redness) and b value (yellowness) decreased (P<0.05). In summary, replacing corn in the diet with increasing levels of sorghum did not affect live performance, carcass or main cut yields or meat quality, but muscle pH and color were affected

Calcium levels and evaluation of bone and egg of breeding ostriches.

Analyses of mineral density in tibias and femurs of breeder ostriches had been carried on six couples 5-7 years old. During 8 weeks, 3 couples had been fed with ration of reproduction (T1) and other 3 couples with ration of maintenance (T2). It was possible to verify that the egg production was not affected by the diets, as well as the quality of egg shells. However the quality of the bones was worse for the birds fed of T2.Realizaram-se análises da densidade óssea em tíbias e fêmures de 6 casais de avestruzes reprodutoras com idade entre 5 a 7 anos, alimentados durante 8 semanas, 3 casais com ração de reprodução (T1), e 3 casais com ração de manutenção (T2). Verificou-se que a produção de ovos não foi afetada pelas dietas, assim como a qualidade da casca dos ovos. No entanto a qualidade dos ossos foi pior para as aves do T2

Efeito do cálcio na qualidade óssea e de ovos poedeiras

The experiment was carried out, with hens of the Shaver Brown strain in production, during 27 weeks. The objective was to evaluate the mobilization of bone calcium and phosphorus for the formation of the shell eggs, as well as to follow the variations in the bone quality along the production cycle. 64 birds had been used. The experimental desing was entirely randomized with two treatments (calcium percentage in the diet) and four repetitions of eight birds each. The used diets were isoproteic and isoenergetic adequate (3.8%) and low (1.8%) calcium levels. Analysis of bone (tibiae and femurs) mineral density (DMO) were done at 16, 22, 28, 34 and 40 weeks of age were developed. After each radiographic collection, 4 birds/treatment, were abated for the analysis of bone resistance (RO), Seedor index (IS), dry matter (MS), total mineral (MIN) and calcium and phosphorus (Ca and P). The values of egg production, production of egg mass and quality of the egg shell were also evaluated. It was possible to conclude that the birds mobilized bone minerals for the egg production, independently of the treatment and the birds receiving diets with low levels of calcium had the quality of the eggs shell damaged.Um experimento foi realizado com duração de 27 semanas, com poedeiras da linhagem Shaver Brown em produção, seu objetivo foi avaliar a mobilização de cálcio e fósforo ósseos para a formação da casca dos ovos, assim como, acompanhar as variações na qualidade óssea ao longo do ciclo de produção. Foram utilizadas 64 aves. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado com dois tratamentos (porcentagem de cálcio na dieta) e quatro repetições de oito aves cada. As dietas utilizadas foram isoprotéicas e isocalóricas, com níveis adequados (3,8%) e baixos (1,8%) de cálcio. Realizaram-se análises densidade mineral óssea (DMO) das tíbias e fêmures às 16, 22, 28, 34 e 40 semanas de idade. Após cada coleta radiográfica 4 aves por tratamento, foi abatida para realização de análise de resistência óssea (RO), índice Seedor (IS), teor de matéria seca (MS), teor de minerais totais (MIN) e os teores de cálcio e fósforo (Ca e P). Os valores de produção de ovos, produção de massa de ovos e qualidade da casca também foram avaliados. Foi possível concluir que as aves mobilizaram minerais ósseos para a produção de ovos, independentemente do tratamento e que as aves que receberam dietas com níveis baixos de cálcio tiveram a qualidade das cascas dos ovos prejudicadas

Qualidade físico-química e sensorial da carne de peito de matrizes pesadas de descarte Physical, chemical and sensorial breast meat quality of spent breeder hens

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar as características de qualidade: pH, cor, valor R, perda por exsudação, capacidade de retenção e absorção de água, capacidade de emulsificação, perdas por cocção, força de cisalhamento e análise sensorial da carne de matrizes pesadas de descarte de frangos de corte. A carne de peito de matrizes apresentou valores médios do parâmetro pH, valor R, perda por exsudação e valor de L* de 5,70, 1,43, 2,00 e 50,11, respectivamente. Para a capacidade de retenção e absorção de água, perda de peso por cozimento e força de cisalhamento, os valores médios foram de 77, 58, 18% e 4,94kgf cm-2, respectivamente. Na análise sensorial, a carne de matriz apresentou baixa intensidade de maciez (6,9) e menor suculência (3,4) e foi a mais elástica, borrachenta e difícil de deglutir. A carne de matrizes pesadas de descarte apresenta boas características de qualidade tecnológicas que possibilitam sua utilização como matéria-prima para a elaboração de industrializados.<br>The aim of this research was evaluate the meat quality broiler breeder hens: pH, color, R value, drip loss, water holding capacity, water absorption capacity, emulsion capacity, cooking loss, shear force and sensorial analysis. The breast meat of broiler hens presents means values for pH, R value, drip loss and L* value parameter of 5.70, 1.43, 2.00 and 50.11, respectively. The means value for water retention capacity, water absorption capacity, cooking loss and shear force, were 77, 58, 18% e 4.94kgf cm-2 respectively. For sensory analysis, the meat of broiler hen present lower tenderness intensity (6.9), lower succulence (3.4), more elasticity, rubbery and swallowing difficulties. The meat of broiler hens presented good technology quality characteristics that make it possible to be used as meat for elaborated industry
