The consumption of healthy and nutritive food (rich in proteins and low in cholesterol and lipid contents) is a preferred factor with the contemporary consumers. In addition, natural alternatives are requested to replace the additives used up to now but recently banned. To reach the above given condition, phyto-additives represent a good alternative. The aim of this study was to examine the physicochemical properties and amino acid composition of rabbit meat after the enrichment of rabbit diet with oregano, sage, and Eleutherococcus senticosus extracts, and to make a comparison with the commercial product XTRACT and control samples (without plant extracts). The addition of oregano and sage extracts as well as El. senticosus in the rabbit diet positively influenced the physicochemical properties of rabbit meat by increasing its energy value (P < 0.05 – sage). Supplementing rabbits feed with oregano and sage extracts led to an improvement on the amino acid composition (P < 0.01; P < 0.001 – serine). These findings are also supported by the good health state of rabbits. Outgoing from these results, the diet enriched with the plant extracts is beneficial for the health state of rabbits involving the nutritional quality of rabbit meat in connection with consumers.

Large amounts of Cu-metallothionein were obtained by 2-mercaptoethanol and sodium dodecyl sulphate extractions of the particulate fractions of the liver of pigs given high-Cu2+ diets or rats injected with Cu2+. Three isoproteins were purified from pig liver and characterized on the basis of their physicochemical properties, metal content and amino acid composition. No such pool of Cu-metallothionein was present in the liver of Cu2+-loaded sheep or of rats given Cu2+-supplemented diets.
