Caracterización da raza Galiña de Mos
Nos últimos anos a FAO, ven alarmando da perda de razas. Para establecer estratexias de conservación dunha raza autóctona, requírese información sobre características fenotípicas, a súa orixe, sistemas de produción, evolución dos seus censos, rasgos xenéticos singulares e a tipificación das súas producións e reproducións.
Neste traballo faise a caracterización da raza e as recomendacións para unha xestión eficiente.
A Galiña de Mos ten referencias escritas desde o ano 1936, tras ser seleccionada a partir de exemplares da zona da Terra Chá, na provincia de Lugo, aínda que existían exemplares por todo o interior de Galicia. A súa orixe xenética é moito anterior. Tras ser empregada décadas atrás en produtos avícolas de calidade, a chegada da avicultura industrial provocou o abandono progresivo da súa cría ata situarse ao bordo da extinción.
A implantación dun Programa de Conservación na raza, permitiu a recuperación dos seus censos ata ter 6.253 reprodutores, con 26.373 nacementos en 2014, sendo a raza de galiñas autóctonas españolas con maior censo.
A súa produción oveira foi de 185 ovos anuais, tendo este produto unhas cualidades nutritivas diferencias, con gran cantidade de aminoácidos esenciais, con elevadas proporcións de xema e menor humidade que as estirpes industriais. A produción cárnica destacou nos catro produtos analizados, Galo, Capón, Pularda e Galiña, en comparación ás estirpes industriais, por ser de elevado rendemento en partes nobres, cunha carne fina e cun sabor máis intenso. A pel mostra unha cor amarela uniforme sendo moi fina, con pouca graxa subcutánea. Son carnes moi nutritivas, zumarentas, tenras, pouco fibrosas, cunha cor máis intensa e boa intensidade de olor. Con pouca graxa, que ademais é de alta calidade e moi saudable, cunha alta proporción de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados, de omega 6 e de omega 3.
A súa xenética permite obter produtos diferentes, os sabores de antes
Effect of finishing diet on carcass characteristics and meat quality of Mos cockerel
Aim of study: To evaluate the effect of different diets on carcass characteristics and meat quality from Mos free-ranged cockerel.Area of study: Galicia (NW Spain).Material and methods: Cockerels (n=75) were allocated to 3 groups (n=25) according to finishing diets: commercial fodder (CF), 50% wheat and 50% corn (WH) and 33% wheat and 66% corn (CR). Meat quality was assessed in terms of physicochemical, and nutritional features.Main results: The highest live and carcass weight were obtained in CF group. Meat from CF and CR groups were similar in moisture, protein and cholesterol content in drumstick cut, meanwhile in breast piece there were no significant differences (p>0.05) in intramuscular fat (IMF), ash, and lightness (L*). On the other hand, finishing diet affected L* and redness (a*) values, showing the highest L* values in meat samples from CF treatment (49.94 for drumstick) (p<0.01), whereas a* was superior in WH samples (11.30 and 4.61, for drumstick and breast, respectively) (p<0.001). Meat shear force test was not affected (p>0.05) by diets. Finally, the finishing feed affected (p<0.05) the fatty acid and amino acid profile in both cuts (drumstick and breast).Research highlights: Present study allowed to characterize for the first time Mos cockerels fed with different diets. Some carcass features obtained were higher than previous studies with other Mos categories, and some autochthonous and industrial breeds. Meat from cockerels was characterized by a high protein percentage and lower IMF
Sobre el diagrama
El diagrama es uno de los instrumentos gráficos con los que cuenta la Arquitectura a la hora de generar conceptos, formas y espacios. Este tipo de gráfica, de creación y de control del proceso proyectual, es motivo del encuentro de esta conversación planteada tanto desde su instrumentación pedagógica como desde el ámbito profesional a partir de obras concretas desarrolladas en base a este grafismo a mitad de camino entre gráfica y forma.
Apartándolo del mito de estar asociado a la gráfica digital, el diagrama es una herramienta de interpretación de la propia arquitectura que no debería estar asociado con la idea que reduce a la Representación con la simple actividad de generar “dibujos lindos” sino que debe ser entendido como instrumento para dar forma a conceptos concretos, objetivos que se traducen en obras de arquitectura.

Effect of Breed and Diet Type on the Freshness and Quality of the Eggs: A Comparison between Mos (Indigenous Galician Breed) and Isa Brown Hens
Eggs are a nutritious food, offering a balanced source of essential amino and fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. Genetic and diet factors can modify hen egg traits. Thus, the effects of breed and feed on egg quality using two laying hens, Mos (autochthonous breed) and Isa Brown (commercial hybrid), and three feeds, commercial fodder (CF), corn/pea/triticale (CPT) and corn/wheat (CW), were investigated. Freshness parameters (egg weight, eggshell weight and thickness, albumen height, Haugh units and yolk color), chemical composition, color and textural parameters, as well as fatty acid profile, were assessed on a total of 288 eggs, from the two breeds. The samples were divided in 96 eggs, corresponding to each of the three dietary treatments. There were significant differences (p < 0.001) in albumen height and Haugh units, obtaining the highest values for Isa Brown genotype; meanwhile, laying hens fed with CF had the highest weight, as well as the greatest eggshell thickness. Cooked yolks of Isa Brown eggs presented the highest values of luminosity, while the yellowness was higher for Mos eggs. Regarding the texture of eggs, genotype was again the parameter having the greatest impact, obtaining higher values in hardness, gumminess and chewiness in those eggs from the Mos breed. Concerning egg chemical composition, it was affected by breed and diet type, but Mos eggs were characterized by a significantly (p < 0.001) higher contents of fat (9.53% vs. 7.58%), protein (12.31% vs. 11.66%) and ash (1.10% vs. 1.04%) than Isa Brown ones. Finally, diet type influenced the fatty acid profile, mainly affecting oleic and linoleic acids, which showed significantly (p < 0.05) highest values (42.90 and 14.66 g/100 g of total fatty acids) in CW and CF diets, respectively. Overall, breed and bird diet factors had a strong effect on egg quality and nutritional profile. Moreover, eggs from Mos hens had more attractive nutritional indices, and they could even be improved more by changing the dietAuthors are grateful to Xunta de Galicia-Conselleria do Medio Rural e do Mar (FEADER 2013/25) for the financial support.

Effect of breed and finishing diet on growth performance, carcass and meat quality characteristics of Mos young hens
Mos breed is a Spanish authoctonus breed linked to raising and natural food, with a growing market niche in the restoration due to their meat is associated with high quality products. The effect of breed (Mos and Sasso X44) on growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of breast and drumsticks was examined in young hens reared 20 weeks in free-range system. The effect of finishing feeding (fodder, corn and linseed) was also evaluated on the aforementioned parameters. The Sasso group grew faster and the maximum weights were higher (p<0.001), but there was no effect of genotype or feed on final weight or growth efficiency. With the exception of breast piece, the highest percentages of commercial cuts were achieved in Mos birds, when breed was the studied effect. On the other hand, color parameters were not affected by breed. However, significant differences were found among feeding, since animals fed with corn achieved the highest redness values in drumstick (11.94 vs. 10.09 for corn and fodder, respectively; p<0.05). Regarding chemical composition, intramuscular fat (IMF) displayed significant differences between breeds (p<0.05), showing higher values in Sasso X-44. On the contrary, with the exception of IMF, significant differences (p<0.05) on chemical composition were observed among feeding groups. Finally, fatty acid profile was significantly affected by breed and feeding since animals fed with linseed presented better nutritional indices (lower SFA, n-6/n-3 ratio and higher PUFA and P/S ratio). The results show the suitability of Mos breed to produce high quality poultry products
