Carcass Characteristics and Meat Quality of Ross 308 Broiler Chickens Fed Malted Red and White Sorghum-Based Diets

In this study, the effects of malted sorghum-based diets (MSBD) on carcass characteristics and meat quality were investigated in broiler chickens. Two-week-old Ross 308 broilers randomly allocated to three groups (each with five replications) then reared either 0 or 100% (red (Mr Buster) white (Segaolane)) sorghum commercial diets. The highest (p < 0.05) slaughter weights, hot cold weights observed for control Broilers MSBD had high drumstick–thigh vertebrae weights. fed red diet (MRSBD) longest small intestine gizzard liver percentage. pHi MRSBD was higher than (MWSBD).
