Our objective was to evaluate carcass traits and meat quality of quails from different strains and both sexes pertaining to three breeding-improvement programs. Quails from seven meat-type strains (UFV1, UFV2, UFV3, EV1, EV2, LF1 and LF2) and from one egg-laying (Japanese quail) strain (LAY) were slaughtered at 35 days of age. A completely randomised 8 (strain) × 2 (sex) factorial design was used for data analysis. Bodyweight, hot carcass weight and breast (musculus pectoralis major and m. pectoralis minor) and legs (thigh and drumstick) weights and their respective yields were determined. Ultimate pH, colour measurements, water-holding capacity, cooking loss and shear force were assessed. No difference in ultimate pH, shear force and hue was observed. The UFV3 strain had the greatest bodyweight at slaughter. The UFV3 strain had the greatest hot carcass weight in both sexes. The heaviest breasts were observed in both sexes of the UFV3 strain and in males of the UFV2 strain. The UFV3 quails had greater leg weight. The hot carcass yields of meat-type strains were greater than that of the LAY strain. The UFV3 and LAY females furnished a greater breast yield than did male quails. For males, the UFV1 strain had a greater yield of breast than that of LAY quails. The LAY quails presented the greatest yields of leg. The LAY quails had the least luminance, and the greatest water-holding capacity, cooking loss, red and yellow intensity, and chroma. In summary, meat obtained from meat-type strains had a greater water-holding capacity, lower cooking loss and greater luminance than that of the LAY strain. In addition, the meat-type strains grew appreciably faster, but the difference in yields of breast and leg meat between meat and layer strains was small. We conclude that meat-type strains, especially the UFV3, are more appropriate for enterprises focussed on meat production.

Twenty growing crossbred male lambs (? chios. ? ossimi and ? chios. ? ossimi) of 15.25 ? 2.00 kg initial average body weight and three months old were divided into four groups. All groups were fed on concentrate feed mixture plus 1% of live body weight wheat straw for 169 days. Four levels (zero, 200g, 400g and 600g) of leucaena hay were used. Final weight and carcass traits were evaluated. Color (L, a, b), proximate composition, pH, acidity, expressible water, water holding capacity, cooking loss, amino acid and minerals contents of meat were determined. Sensory evaluation of cooked meat was also evaluated. The results revealed that, Hindquarter, shoulder, and sets weight were significantly (p ? 0.05) different. Moisture, protein, fat and ash content of fresh meat were ranged from 73.72 to 76.23%, 20.06 to 20.80 %, 2.41 to 4.12% and 1.01 to 1.08%, respectively. Expressible water, water holding capacity and pH were significantly (p ? 0.05) different. No significant (p ? 0.05) differences were found in color (L, a, b), acidity and cooking loss of meat. Amino acids and minerals contents of all meat samples were varied. Cooked meat of group four had the highest scores of tenderness, juiciness, flavor and over all acceptability 4.6, 4.5, 4.4 and 4.5, respectively. This study suggested that the leucaena hay is suitable for lamb feeding. Produced lamb meat had high chemical and sensory quality.

In a previous study regarding the effects of Kosher and conventional slaughter techniques on carcass and meat quality of cattle, it was speculated that electrical stimulation may have affected some of the meat qualities. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation (ES) and non-electrical stimulation (NES) on key carcass and meat quality attributes of cattle slaughtered by Kosher vs. conventional slaughter methods. Carcass pH and temperature profiles over a 24 h post mortem (pm) period, meat shear force and water holding capacity were investigated in feedlot type cattle of comparable weights and breed types. Results showed that the combined effects of slaughter methods did not influence the meat quality attributes, but there were differences within the slaughter groups. The effect of ES on carcass pH lasted longer within the conventionally slaughtered group (12 h), than in the Kosher slaughter group (6 h). Muscle samples from the ES groups for both slaughter methods were more tender. Electrical stimulation also had a significant effect on the cooking loss from Kosher meat, while there was no significant difference in meat from the conventional slaughter methods. The results show that ES influences certain meat and carcass quality attributes of cattle, based on the way cattle were slaughtered.Keywords: Carcass pH, cooking loss, drip loss, electrical stimulation, shear force, slaughter technique

The purpose of this study was to determine the quality and total microbes of broiler at different location in the traditional markets of Denpasar City. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments. The treatments used in this study, broiler chicken sold at traditional markets in East (DT), North (DU), West (DB), and South of Denpasar (DS). The data obtained from this study were analyzed by analysis of variance. If there were significant differences (P <0,05) among the treatments, then continued with Duncan's multiple range test. The variables used in this study were carcass weight, cooking loss, drip loss, water holding capacity, water content, protein, fat, ash, and total microbes. The results showed that on the average, the highest carcass weight in DB treatment was 1.482 grams, with other treatments to get results not significantly different (P>0,05). The result of this study for variable drip loss, water content, protein, fat, and ash significantly different (P<0,05), then research result for cooking loss, and water holding capacity, were not significantly different (P>0,05). The research result for total microbies broiler chicken at traditional markets in Denpasar City have a range of 1,84 x 104 to 2,62 x 104 CFU /gram. The results were still normal when compared to SNI 7388: 2009 which states that the maximum amount that the content of TPC 1x106 CFU/gram. From these results, it was concluded that there were similarities quality of broiler chicken (carcass weight, cooking loss, water holding capacity, and total microbes), however, there were differences in the quality of broiler seen from drip loss, water content, protein, fat, and ash of broiler at traditional markets in Denpasar City.

The objective of the study is to evaluate meat quality from Ile de France lamb fed diets supplemented with sunflower seeds and vitamin E. Thirty-two lamb weighing initially 15kg were housed in individual stalls and slaughtered when body weight reached 32kg. The treatments consisted of four experimental diets: D1) sugarcane + concentrate without sunflower seeds; D2) sugarcane + concentrate with sunflower seeds; D3) sugarcane + concentrate without sunflower seeds plus 1000mg vitamin E kg-1 diet dry matter (DM); and D4) sugarcane + concentrate with sunflower seeds and 1000mg vitamin E kg-1 diet DM. The parameters temperature, pH, color, cooking loss, shear force and water holding capacity were determined at maturation times of 0, 7 and 14 days on the Longissimus dorsi muscle. Qualitative characteristics of the meat were not affected by the sunflower seed combined with vitamin E diet; however, pH 24 hours was affected (P<0.05) by the sunflower seed combined with vitamin E diet. Cooking loss was not significantly influenced (P>0.05) by diet or maturation times. On the other hand, shear force and water holding capacity were significantly affected (P<0.05) by the treatments. The use of vitamin E resulted in lamb meat with higher water holding capacity. Maturation time influenced the parameters pH, color and shear force. Lamb meat that matured for 7 days displayed the lowest shear force.

In this article are presented research data on comparative evaluation of meat quality of various poultry species. The study was made on 5 samples of ostrich, turkey and broiler meat. Samples were weighed 500 to 550 grams. Qualitative and nutritional properties of meat from different species of poultry were estimated. The chemical composition, pH, color, firmness, water holding capacity, cooking loss, drip loss of ostrich, turkey and broiler meat were analyzed. Meat quality studies were carried out according to generally accepted methodologies. Analyses have shown that the highest fat content was in the broiler meat (p <0.001). Ostrich, turkey and broiler meat acidity values were very similar, slightly more distinct in turkey meat (p <0.01). The lowest water holding capacity was established in ostrich, the highest in turkey meat (p <0.01). Comparison in regard to meat firmness, it was observed on the ostrich meat had the highest firmness (p <0.01). Also, the highest cholesterol content was established in the ostrich meat.

Abstract. The research objective was to compare the nutritive value and some functional properties of duck leg muscles from different flocks. A total of 80 drakes out of three conservative flocks (cross-breeds Pekin type – SB, Miniduck – K2, Pekin originated from Danish Pekin duck – P8) and one maternal breeding strain (P66) aged seven weeks, were used for comparison. The content of protein, lipids, moisture, essential amino acids, fatty acids and cholesterol were estimated. The investigation of functional properties has covered: the determination of the colour parameters – L*, a* b*, colour difference between individual flocks, total haem pigments’ content, sensory evaluation of raw muscles’ colour intensity in 10 point scale; pH24; water holding capacity; cooking loss and shear force. Comparing the basic chemical and amino acid composition, cholesterol content and profile of fatty acids, it could be concluded that the P66 leg muscles coming from a selected breeding strain, are the most favourable from the nutritional point of view. It is evident too, that muscles from all the examined flocks have been characterized by a high nutritional value. Taking into consideration the functional properties, it was concluded that the muscles from the investigated flocks varied in colour and analysed traits. The ducks of K2 had the best functional properties. The advantages of K2 in comparison to the other ducks are: darker colour typical of waterfowl meat, lower cooking loss, higher water holding capacity and lower shear force.

The aim of this study was to evaluate beef quality traits including pH, water holding capacity, cooking loss, meat colour, and Warner-Bratzler shear force in dry-aged beef and to determine the most favorable ageing time based on beef quality parameters and consumer acceptability. In this respect, longissimus dorsi samples were obtained from Simmental bulls and stored for an ageing period up to 21-days, and thus, the beef quality evaluation was performed at 0-day, 7-day, 14-day, and 21-day of the experimental period. Results revealed that the lowest shear force value was observed in beef samples on day-14 whereas the lowest pH value was determined in samples on day 21. Moreover, water holding capacity and beef colour values were significantly differentiated based on dry-ageing (P<0.05). In sensory panel evaluation, a significant difference is found only in meat colour rating (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between ageing periods and cooking loss. The most important technical point is that increasing dry-ageing time from 14 to 21 days did not desirably affect quality traits and sensory scores. Hence, dry-ageing for 14 days seemed to be the most economically efficient application. Taken altogether, the present results suggest that the potential for use of dry-ageing should be considered as an alternative method to produce high-quality beef with respect to the optimum ageing process.

Abstract This research aims to evaluate the use of different filler levels of taro meal on the physical quality of chicken patties containing red beans (Vigna angularis). Patties produced from chicken meat with the ratio of red bean flour and taro flour as filler substitution for tapioca flour are 15:0 (CP0), 15:3 (CP1), 10:0 (CP2), 10:3 (CP3), 5:0 (CP4), and 5:3 (CP5). The analysis showed a significant difference in the tenderness (P<0.01), the value of pH, cooking loss, and water holding capacity (P<0.05) of patties. The addition of taro flour can increase the tenderness value of chicken patties. Reducing the amount of red beans resulted in a decrease in the pH value of chicken patties, but the increase in the use of taro meal did not result in a difference in the pH value. The highest cooking loss was achieved with the use of 5% red beans without taro meal. The highest water holding capacity of patties produced was obtained with a ratio of red bean and taro meal of 5:3. The conclusion is that adding 10% red beans and 3% taro flour red beans increased the physical quality of chicken patties and can be accepted by consumers.
