comparative studies on calpain activity of different muscles of cattle, camel, sheep and goat
Authors
abstract
tenderness is the single most important factor influencing consumer acceptance of meat. the calpain proteolytic system is known to be responsible for the post-mortem tenderization of meat. the purpose of this study was to determine and compare the tensile strength and total calpain activities in different muscles of camel, cattle, sheep and goat. in camels, the effect of age and sex of animal was also studied. twenty-four animals (camel, cattle, sheep and goat) were sampled randomly after slaughtering. samples from biceps femoris , longissimus dorsi and triceps brachii and heart were obtained from each animal. the tensile strength was calculated using an instron universal testing machine. after homogenization of samples in 0.1 m nacl and centrifugation, total calpain activity was determined by fluorometric method. despite significant differences in tensile strength, no significant difference (p>0.05) was observed among calpain activities of different muscles in each species. inter-species differences however, were significant (p0.05). in camel, adult animals had higher calpain activity and tensile strength than youngs; sex had no significant effects. correlation coefficients of calpain activity and tensile strength were negative and not significant in all species. in conclusion, meats from different species might show different degrees of tenderness, partly due to the difference in their calpain activity.

Comparative Histological Study of Caecum in Cattle, Sheep and Goat
Comparative histology of the caecum of adult cattle,sheep and goat was studied. Caecum of all three animals consisted of four layers namely tunica mucosa, tela submucosa,tunica muscularis and tunica Serosa. Intestinal glands were mostly located at base region of tunica mucosa . In caecum of goat mucus secreting intestional glands were present in the close vicinity of lamina muscularis and serou...

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
