This study investigated the dietary impact of dried Yarrowia lipolytica yeast (YLP) on growth performance, meat quality, welfare and behavior indicators broilers. It was performed in a commercial poultry farm using 108 13 day-old Ross 308 male The chicks were randomly equally divided into three groups CON, YLP3 YLP5, according to incorporation rate YLP feed (0%, 3%, 5%, respectively). A positiv...

Aim of study: To evaluate the effect different diets on carcass characteristics and meat quality from Mos free-ranged cockerel.Area Galicia (NW Spain).Material methods: Cockerels (n=75) were allocated to 3 groups (n=25) according finishing diets: commercial fodder (CF), 50% wheat corn (WH) 33% 66% (CR). Meat was assessed in terms physicochemical, nutritional features.Main results: The highest l...

Patties were prepared using the breast meat from 15-wk-old turkeys fed one of the 8 dietary treatments [Con, control; VE, 200 IU/kg vitamin E; Se, 0.3 mg/kg selenium; CLA, 2.5% conjugated linoleic acids; VE + Se, 200 IU/kg vitamin E + 0.3 mg/kg selenium; VE + CLA, 200 IU/kg vitamin E + 2.5% CLA; Se + CLA, 0.3 mg/kg selenium + 2.5% CLA; VE + Se + CLA, 200 IU/kg vitamin E + 0.3 mg/kg selenium + 2...

One-day-old Cherry valley meat-strain ducks were used to investigate the effect of supplemental dried oregano powder (DOP) in feed on the productivity, antioxidant enzyme activity, and breast meat quality. One hundred sixty five ducks were assigned to 5 dietary treatments for 42 days. The dietary treatment groups were control group (CON; no antibiotic, no DOP), antibiotic group (ANT; CON+0.1% P...

The feasibility of using visible/near-infrared spectroscopy (vis/NIR) to segregate broiler breast fillets by water-holding capacity (WHC) was determined. Broiler breast fillets (n = 72) were selected from a commercial deboning line based on visual color assessment. Meat color (L*a*b*), pH (2 and 24 h), drip loss, and salt-induced water uptake were measured. Reflectance measurements were recorde...
