Efecto de dietas suplementadas con taninos sobre la calidad bromatológica de carne bovina

Las nuevas tendencias que hay en el mercado de carnes, es producir más con menos, que pueda dejar mayores rendimientos sin perder las propiedades químicas de la carne, ya que éstas son las que definen el precio. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar el efecto de las dietas suplementadas con taninos sobre la calidad bromatológica de carne bovina. Se trabajó con 16 becerros machos en prueba de respuesta productiva en corral de engorda, con duración de 40 días, con adaptación previa al experimento de 30 días a la etapa de finalización. Los tratamientos consistieron en: dieta típica para bovinos en finalización (testigo) y dieta similar adicionando 0.3 % de extracto de taninos condensados y solubles; correspondiente a 1 g de extracto de taninos por cada 10 kg de peso vivo. Después del sacrificio se tomaron muestras de carne, haciendo cortes de manera transversal entre la 12ª y 13ª costilla, los cortes consistieron en cuatro chuletas con grosor de 2.5 cm de cada canal. A las muestras se les determinó contenido de proteína, cenizas, humedad, grasas y materia seca bajo métodos de la AOAC. Los resultados obtenidos, en este estudio, mostraron que el contenido promedio de proteínas fue de 20.18 %, grasas de 5.47 %, humedad de 74.35 %, cenizas de 2.01 % y materia seca 25.65 %, para ambos grupos. Se observó que no hubo diferencias significativas con respecto al grupo testigo (P ≤ 0.01); solo el contenido de grasa fue mayor a lo reportado, por lo tanto, la concentración de taninos empleada en las dietas de bovinos no influye sobre la composición bromatológica de la carne

Carcass analysis of four quails species in Mexico State

The human diet consists of a great diversity of foods in where the most common source of protein comes from animals; mainly from fattening species of pigs, beef, chickens, and sheep due to intensive farming high fat content. The current study was aimed to evaluate the meat analysis of four species of wild quail breasts: Common quail, Banded quail, scaled or Squamous quail and Montezuma quail. Quails were collected from March to June, in the State of Mexico. The findings showed that of the studied species, the meat of Moctezuma had the greatest amount of protein (26.99%DM); however, the lowest fat content (1.25%DM) was with Squamos. Up to the time of this investigation, no data existed on the nutritional qualities of meat coming from these wild species in the State of Mexico. As we now know, this meat has better attributes, compared even to rabbit meat and to the meat of other domestic species that are consumed on a daily basis. It was concluded that the carcasses protein and dry matter contents were similar with all studied species where fat content of the Callipepla squamata had the highest value

EFECTO DE LA LEVADURA ENRIQUECIDA CON SELENIO Y SELENITO DE SODIO EN LA DIETA DE CERDOS EN FINALIZACIÓN SOBRE EL CONTENIDO DE GRASA INTRAMUSCULAR Y ACIDOS GRASOS

Se determinó el efecto de la adición de selenio (Se) orgánico (selenito de sodio) e inorgánico (levadura enriquecida con selenio) en el alimento sobre el contenido de grasa intramuscular y ácidos grasos músculos semimembranoso y longissimus dors en cerdos en finalización. Los animales (n=48) derivados de la cruza (Pic 337x (Camborough 22) fueron alimentados a base de maíz molido y pasta de soya. La dieta fue fortificada con Se en tres tratamientos, T0=0%, T1= 0.45ppm de levadura T2=0.45ppm selenito de sodio. Los animales fueron sacrificados a un peso de 110±5kg. Se determinó grasa bajo el método ISO-1443 modificado y los ácidos grasos por cromatografía de gases. Se realizó un ANOVA mediante arreglo factorial 3x2, las variables de estudio fueron, fuente de Se: 0, 0.45 ppm de Se orgánico y 0.45 de Se inorgánico, sexo: machos y hembras. Hubo efecto de tratamiento (P 0.05) para los ácidos grasos en el músculo longisimus dorsi, aumentando la concentración de C16, C18, C18:2; en el músculo semimembranosus no hubo diferencias con respecto a los tratamientos, para la variable sexo se demostró que los machos fueron los más pesados al sacrificio

Physicochemical characteristics that influence the meat pork quality in supermarkets in the central highlands of Mexico

Twenty-two supermarkets in the Central Highlands of Mexico were sampled in order to classify them and to compare their pork meat quality based on its physicochemical characteristics. The supermarkets were classified in three types in accordance with socioeconomic status of buyers as low, medium, and high. Methods: Samples were obtained from the Longissimus dorsi muscle from 10th to 12th ribs. Results: Objective color was L* 46.97, a* 6.22 and b* 5.1. Subjective color indicated that it was red with a value of 3.06, subjective marbling was 2.8 %, and objective value was 2.9 %. Moisture varied from 690 to 739.3 g/kg, protein varied from 205.5 g/kg to 229. 6 g/kg and shear force (SF) was 2.87 kg/cm2 . There were no significant differences (P≥0.05) between the variables besides subjective marbling. Tukey´s test indicated that the lowest average included low and medium socioeconomic status supermarkets, which means that the fat content found in the chop eye is less than in meat in high socioeconomic level supermarkets. Conclusions and recommendations: According to the results, pork sold in the supermarkets in the Central Highlands of Mexico was a tender meat with reddish pink color, firm texture and little exudation and with an appropriate protein and intramuscular fat contents

Effect of organic selenium supplementation in the diets of finishing sheep on meat color and pH during shelf life

Supplementation of Selenium (Se) can improve the oxidative stability of meat products and retard metmyoglobin formation; so prolonging color. Effect of organic Se addition in the diets of sheep on meat stability; color and pH are limited and need to be studied. A study was conducted with eighteen Pelibuey female sheep at the finishing stage, and supplemented with organic Se-enriched Saccharomyces cerevisiae for sixty days to evaluate its effect on color and pH of Longissimus dorsi muscle. The research was conducted in a block randomized design considering three treatments; control (Se0) without the addition of yeast, or with 0.35 ppm of yeast (Se34) or with 0.60 ppm (Se59). Sheep were slaughtered at an average weight of 39.5 ± 4.41 kg. Meat color and pH were recorder in the cold carcass, 24 h after slaughtering, and during shelf life at 0, 4, 6 and 8 days after slaughtering under refrigeration at 4 °C. No significant differences were observed (P>0.05) for meat color and pH characteristics due to treatment. Decreased redness (a*) and Chroma (C*) values due to storage time were observed; however, the yellowness (b*) and angle Hue were increased. It could be concluded that supplementation of Seenriched yeast in finishing sheep with 0.35 ppm and 0.60 ppm has no effect on meat color and pH characteristics

Effect of organic selenium-enriched yeast supplementation in finishing sheep diet on carcasses microbiological contamination and meat physical characteristics

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of feeding Pelibuey sheep on diet supplemented with different doses of organic selenium (Se)-enriched yeast on carcasses microbiological contamination and meat physical characteristics. The experiment was conducted during the finishing stage of 18 female sheep and lasted for 60 days. In a complete randomized design, sheep were distributed to one of three treatments: the control without Se-yeast (T1), the control supplemented with Se-yeast at 0.35 mg Se/kg DM (T2), and control supplemented with Se-yeast at 0.60 mg Se/kg DM (T3). The yeast product used was Selyeast 3000TM yeast (LFA Lesaffre, Toluca, Mexico) with a Se concentration of 3000 ppm (mg/kg). Lambs were slaughtered at the end of the experiment at an average weight of 39.5±4.41 kg and samples were taken for microbiological analysis. There were no differences between treatments (P>0.05) and the aerobic plate counts for T1, T2 and T3 had indexes of 0.10, 0.08 and 0.08 log10 CFU/cm2 , respectively. Total coliform counts obtained were 0.13, 0.10 and 0.09 log10 CFU/cm2 for T1, T2 and T3, respectively, and the faecal coliform counts were 0.09 log10 CFU/cm2 for T1, 0.06 log10 CFU/cm2 for T2 and 0.07 log10 CFU/cm2 for T3. No significant effects (P>0.05) were observed for carcasses physical characteristics of microbial growth, initial and ultimate pH and temperature, colour values and water holding capacity. It can therefore be concluded that organic Se-enriched yeast did not affect carcasses bacterial proliferation or meat physical characteristics.The authors wish to acknowledge the financial support to Mexican National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) Key Project 00000000011623

Influence of live cells or cells extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on in vitro gas production of a total mixed ration

In vitro gas production An interaction effect was observed (P=0.009) between treatment type and treatment dose for the asymptotic GP without interaction effects (P>0.05) for the rate of GP and the initial delay before gas production begins. In general, incubation of yeast CE improved (P=0.0007) the asymptotic GP compared to control and yeast LC. In both of CE and LC, the low and the intermediate doses were morelive cells (LC) or cells extract (CE) on in vitro gas production (GP) kinetics and ruminal fermentation parameters of a total mixed ration (TMR) consisting of commercial concentrate and alfalfa hay [1:1 dry matter (DM)] as a substrate was studied. The TMR was incubated with CE at 1, 2 and 4 mg/g or LC at 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 mg/g DM for 96 h. Rumen GP was recorded after 6, 12, 19, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of incubation. Interaction effects were observed (P<0.01) between treatment type and yeast dose for the asymptotic GP and methane (CH4) production. Incubation of yeast CE improved (P<0.01) the asymptotic GP compared to control and LC with greater effects (P<0.01) for the low and the intermediate doses. Yeast CE treatment was more effective (P<0.01) in GP than both of LC and control treatments with greater effect (P<0.01) for the low and the intermediate doses. Treatment type and yeast dose affected (P<0.01) CH4 production, metabolisable energy (ME), and short chain fatty acids (SCFA) without affecting in vitro DM degradability (IVDMD). Higher values (P<0.01) of CH4, ME, SCFA and IVDMD were observed for the yeast CE treatment. It could be concluded that adding yeast S. cerevisiae (CE and LC extract) improved GP and ruminal fermentation parameters, where CE at 0.3 and 0.6 mg/g DM was more effective than the yeast LC

Effects of xylanase supplementation on feed intake, digestibility and ruminal fermentation in Rambouillet sheep

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of adding xylanase enzyme (XY) to a basal diet containing 300 g maize stover and 700 g concentrate/kg dry matter (DM) on feed intake, ruminal fermentation, total tract and ruminal digestibility, as well as some blood parameters. Four male Rambouillet sheep (39 ± 1·8 kg body weight), with permanent rumen and duodenum cannulae were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design. Sheep were fed a basal diet without xylanase addition (control, XY0), or with the addition of xylanase at 1 (XY1), 3 (XY3) or 6 (XY6) μl/g of diet DM for 84 days, with four 21-day experimental periods. Feed intake, digestibility and rumen fermentation parameterswere determined on days 16–21 in each experimental period, and the apparent ruminal neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibilitywas determined on days 16 and 17. Treatments XY1 and XY3 increased feed intake,whereas digestibility was increased with XY6. Ruminal NDF digestibility increased when sheep were fed diets treated with xylanase. Ruminal pH, ammonia-N and acetic acid increased with xylanase treated diets. Propionic acid concentration increasedwith diet XY1 at 3 h post-feeding, but after 9 h post-feeding its concentration decreased in the rumen of sheep fed xylanase treated diets. Xylanase had no effect on blood urea, phosphorus and triglycerides. Addition of xylanase at 6 μl/g DM in a diet containing 300 g maize stover and 700 g concentrate/kg DM and fed to Rambouillet sheep improved feed digestibility and ruminal fermentation without affecting blood parameters
