This study was conducted to determine the effect of neem leaf infusion on growth parameters, carcass characteristics and meat quality of broiler chicken. One hundred and sixty, seven days old broiler chicks of cob strain were used for the experiment which was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD). Each group was sub-divided into four replicates of 10 birds. The chicks in group 1 served as control and antibiotics were administered to them while 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% concentration of neem leaf infusion were administered to bird on groups 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The period of experiment was six weeks. The birds were fed ad libitum. One bird close to average final weight was selected randomly in each replicate and was slaughtered at 42nd day of the experiment. Meat samples from breast muscle of the bird were subjected to cooking weight loss, refrigeration weight loss and sensory evaluation. The data obtained were subjected to one-way Analysis of Variance. Results revealed that there were no significant (p>0.05) effects of neem leaf infusion on weight gain and feed conversion ratio while water intake was influenced (p<0.05) at the starter phase across the treatment groups. It was only feed intake that was influenced (P<0.05) by the Neem leaf infusion (NLI) at the finisher phase. The heart was the only parameter that was significantly (p<0.05) affected among the carcass parameters. The cooking loss increased (P<0.05) with higher concentration of the infusion while refrigeration weight loss percentages were similar (P>0.05) across the treatments. The result on Sensory evaluation showed that only colour, tenderness and overall flavour were significantly (P<0.05) influenced. The study concluded that administration of aqueous Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf infusion in drinking water of broiler chicken as alternative to antibiotics did not pose any adverse threat on the performance and meat quality of broiler chicken.     Cette étude a été menée pour déterminer l'effet de l'infusion de feuilles de neem sur les paramètres de croissance, les caractéristiques de la carcasse et la qualité de la viande du Effect of neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves infusion on growth performance and carcass quality of broiler chickens  poulet de gril. Cent soixante poussins de poulet à griller de sept jours de souche d'épi ont été utilisés pour l'expérience qui a été présenté dans une conception complètement randomisée (le 'CRD'). Chaque groupe a été subdivisé en quatre répliques de 10 oiseaux. Les poussins du groupe 1 ont servi de contrôle et des antibiotiques leur ont été administrés tandis que 0,1, 0,2 et 0,3 % de concentration d'infusion de feuilles de neem ont été administrés à l'oiseau sur les groupes 2, 3 et 4, respectivement. La période d'expérience était de six semaines. Les oiseaux ont été nourris ad libitum. Un oiseau dont le poids final est proche de la moyenne a été sélectionné au hasard dans chaque réplique et a été abattu au 42e jour de l'expérience. Des échantillons de viande prélevés sur le muscle mammaire de l'oiseau ont été soumis à la perte de poids de la cuisson, à la perte de poids de réfrigération et à l'évaluation sensorielle. Les données obtenues ont fait l'objet d'une analyse à sens unique de la variance. Les résultats ont révélé qu'il n'y avait pas d'effets significatifs (p>0,05) de l'infusion de feuilles de neem sur le gain de poids et le rapport de conversion des aliments pour animaux, tandis que la prise d'eau a été influencée (p<0,05) à la phase de démarrage dans tous les groupes de traitement. Ce n'est que la prise d'aliments qui a été influencée (P<0,05) par l'infusion de feuilles neem (NLI) à la phase finale. Le cœur était le seul paramètre qui était significativement (p<0,05) affecté parmi les paramètres de la carcasse. La perte de cuisson a augmenté (P<0,05) avec une concentration plus élevée de l'infusion tandis que les pourcentages de perte de poids de réfrigération étaient similaires (P>0,05) à travers les traitements. Le résultat de l'évaluation sensorielle a montré que seules la couleur, la tendresse et la saveur globale étaient significativement influencées (P<0,05). L'étude a conclu que l'administration de feuilles de neem (Azadirachta indica) dans l'eau potable du poulet de gril comme alternatif aux antibiotiques ne posait aucune menace négative sur la performance et la qualité de la viande du poulet de gril.

Fattening of farm animals is a way of increasing the rate of meat deposit after maturity. Its effectiveness depends on genetic status of the animal and the diet fed to the animal. In this study, performance and carcass evaluation of balami rams finished on diets with varying energy levels were carried. Forty-eight rams of Balami breed, weighing 20.75±1.50- 22.50±1.91kg were randomly alloted to four dietary energy levels (EL): 2.20Mcal/kg (EL ), I 2.40 Mcal/kg ((EL ), 2.60 Mcal/kg ((EL ) and 2.80 Mcal/kg ((EL ) for 90 days. The feed II III IV intake and daily weight gain of the animals in each treatment were determined and the average recorded. Three Balami rams were randomly selected from each treatment and sacrificed to determine the dressing percentage (DP), carcass weight (CW), fat deposit (FD) and meat yield (MY). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA at á . The 0.05 FBW (kg) of Balami rams in group EL , EL , EL and EL were 41.88.6±1.97, 42.12±1.84, I II III IV 46.13±1.65 and 52.24±2.50 while the FCR of animals on treatments EL (5.3±0.28) and EL I II (5.2±0.26) were higher than EL (4.7±0.82) and EL (4.0±0.65). The DP (%) were 54.9, III IV 54.9, 55.8 and 56.1, the FD (%) were 9.00,9.59,8.92 and 11.46 and the MY (%) were 75.2, 74.7, 75.5 and 72.0 for rams on EL , EL , EL and EL The results indicate that, increasing I II III IV. levels of energy improved growth performance and carcass quality of Balami rams. Therefore, higher level of dietary energy (2.80 Mcal/kgDM and 14% CP) could be suggested for optimizing growth performance and meat quality of Balami ram under fattening condition.

The purpose of this research was to determine the improvement of the carcass quality of broiler ducks with the addition of meniran extract as a feed additive. This is based on the fluctuating price of feed 70 – 80% is part of the operational costs and the prohibition on the use of antibiotics requires alternative feed additives that are safe for human consumption. This research was carried out in Juni – August 2021 in Dayu Village, Nglegok District Blitar Regency. The method used is experimental with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The design used is Completely Randomized Design. The result showed that giving meniran extract as a feed additive could improve the carcass quality of broiler duck including carcass weight and carcass percentage and dit not have a significant effect on slaughter weight. It is recommended to use meniran plan extract level 3% to improve the carcass quality of broiler ducks.

Consumer acceptability of lamb is ultimately determined by the eating quality of the meat. This paper reports on the eating quality evaluation of lean samples obtained from carcasses of crossbred lambs sired by Suffolk, Texel and Charollais rams.The lambs used in this study were part of a larger experiment to compare the growth performance and carcass quality of lambs sired by rams of the Suffolk, Texel and Charollais breeds (Merrell, Webster and Ellis, 1990: BSAP Occasional Publication No. 14, pp. 169-172).An upland flock of approximately 350 Mule (Bluefaced Leicester ♂ x Scottish Blackface ♀) was used to produce the lambs. Eight unrelated rams of each of the three sire breeds were mated to the ewes over two years (4 rams per breed per year). Their crossbred progeny were selected for slaughter when it was estimated that they would produce carcasses of Meat and Livestock Commission fat class 2 to 3L. All lambs had been multiple-born and reared as twins.

Significant Difference

SUMMARYGrowth performance and carcass quality (linear measurements) were studied in pigs grown from 25 to 90 kg on barley stored and prepared in different ways. Half the barley was dried to about 14% moisture content for storage and half was not dried but treated with 0·8% propionic acid. Each was given after hammer-milling (3·2 mm screen) or rolling. A total of 144 pigs was used at four centres.The performance and carcass quality of pigs given acid-treated barley were as good as those given dried barley. While feed utilization, expressed on the basis of air-dry feed, was poorer for pigs fed on acid-treated barley this difference disappeared when account was taken of the different moisture contents of the barley samples. Pigs fed on diets based on milled barley grew more quickly, had better feed utilization but greater fat measurements than pigs fed on rolled barley. There was a significant interaction between storage method and feed preparation (milling or rolling). Pigs given the acid-treated barley grew more quickly when it was in the milled form than when it was rolled, whereas for the dried barley there was a small, non-significant difference in favour of the rolled form.
