For determination of poultry quality shortly after slaughtering, physical criteria (pH-value, conductivity, colour, juice retention) are of importance. However, they are affected by breeding, transport, cooling and the storage period. PH-values of breast meat (genetically structured material) were recorded shortly after slaughtering (15 min p.m.) and differences between breeding line and gender were found (n=5109). The pH1-values ranged from 5.50 to 6.79. Male broilers showed significantly lower pH1-values than female ones (6.02:6.10). There were also significant differences concerning breeding line and gender. Meat quality (PSE, DFD) of broilers can be recorded quickly and accurately determining the pH1-value of breast meat. Threshold ranges to be considered are ? 5.8 (PSE), 5.9-6.2 (standard meat properties) and ? 6.3 (DFD). This classification is not to be compared to the deviation of pork.

In contrast to conventional methods for the determination of meat chemical composition and quality, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) enables rapid, simple and simultaneous assessment of numerous meat properties. The present article is a review of published studies that examined the ability of NIRS to predict different meat properties. According to the published results, NIRS shows a great potential to replace the expensive and time-consuming chemical analysis of meat composition. On the other hand, NIRS is less accurate for predicting different attributes of meat quality. In view of meat quality evaluation, the use of NIRS appears more promising when categorizing meat into quality classes on the basis of meat quality traits for example discriminating between feeding regimes, discriminating fresh from frozen-thawed meat, discriminating strains, etc. The performance of NIRS to predict meat properties seems limited by the reliability of the method to which it is calibrated. Moreover, the use of NIRS may also be limited by the fact that it needs a laborious calibration for every purpose. In spite of that, NIRS is considered to be a very promising method for rapid meat evaluation.

This study was conducted to determine muscle fiber characteristics and their effect on some meat quality parameters in Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Semitendinosus (ST) muscles from kids of some Turkish native goat breeds. Male kids of Hair (n=6), Angora (n=6), Kilis (n=6) and Honamli (n=6) (pure breeds) were used as experimental animals. All kids were slaughtered at 3 months of weaning age and muscles samples were collected for determination of type I, IIA and IIB muscle fibers and some meat quality parameters. It was found that type IIA fiber number of Hair and Honamli kids were higher than those of other breeds in LD muscle. Similarly, Hair kids had higher number of (P less than 0.05) type IIA in ST muscle compared to other breeds. Generally, there were negative correlations between tenderness, pH and number of muscle fiber types in LD and ST muscles of all breeds (P less than0.05). Also, there were positive correlations between intra muscular fat and number of muscle fiber types in LD muscles of all breeds (P less than 0.05). Conclusively, kids of Turkish native goat breeds had different muscle fiber characteristics which can affect meat quality.

We study the implementation of a meat-quality grading system, using the concept of the marbling score, and image processing, neural network techniques and multiple regression analysis. The marbling score is a measure of the distribution density of fat in the rib-eye region. We identify five features used for grading meat images. For the evaluation of the five features, we propose a method of image binarization using a three-layer neural network developed based on inputs given by a professional grader and a system of meat-quality grading based on the evaluation of three of five features with multiple regression analysis. Experimental results show that the system is effective.

Abstract Improving beef quality is important task for livestock in Kazakhstan. Almost all indicators characterizing the quality of carcasses and beef are evaluated after slaughter. Their use in breeding is limited (Legoshin G.P. 2010). For lifetime assessment of carcasses in pedigree and slaughter cattle, Aloka 500B, EXAGO, EVO ultrasonographs are used, using which there is a high coincidence of the lifetime forecast of muscular development over the eye muscle area with the indicator in carcasses after slaughter of animals (Bisembaev A.T. 2019). A high correlation of prognosis of ribeye area with live weight of animals was noted (Lisitsyn A.B. 2010). The aim of the project is to study the effectiveness of in vivo determination of meat quality using an ultrasonic scanning device. Tasks: to determine the ribeye area, the fat of the cattle using an EXAGO ultrasonograph; compare the ribeye area, the fat of the slaughter cattle, determined using an EXAGO ultrasonograph and measured on the carcass after slaughter. The studies were carried out on pedigree bull-calves of the Kazakh white head (85 animals), Auliekol (101 animals) breeds aged 14–15 months and on the feeding stock (6 animals) with a live weight of more than 943 lb. The ribeye area, the fat were obtained: Kazakh white head had 23.2 sq.in and 0.10 in, Auliekol – 20.4 sq.in and 0.09 in. The animals studied after slaughter yielded full-bodied carcasses, while the slaughter yield averaged 56.3%. The correlation between live weight level and ribeye was r=0.97. The coincidence of ribeye, measured by an ultrasonograph with a post-mortem measurement averaging 93.8%. The introduction of ultrasound methods for determining beef productivity in beef industry will allow livestock husbandry to become cost-effective and improve the beef quality. The results of ultrasound images for the carcass traits will be applied in selection and breeding work.
