The present study compared certain quality features and sensory attributes of the meat obtained from three different chicken genotypes: two endangered slow-growing indigenous breeds (Padovana: PAD, Polverara: POL) a commercial broiler (Hybrid). Chickens (n = 42/genotype) were slaughtered at their slaughter age: 183 days for PAD POL chickens, 35 Hybrid. Breast leg dissected used qualitative evaluations. Results highlighted that genotype significantly affected final breast weight, with Hybrid...
The present research studied the effect of dietary inclusion 3 different camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) cakes on live performance, slaughter traits, and breast meat quality broiler quails (Coturnix japonica). With this purpose, a total 480 fifteen-day-old both sexes were allocated to 48 cages (12 replicates/treatment, 10 quails/replicate) received 4 treatments: control diet (Control), diets containing 15% 1 commercial cultivar (Calena), 2 improved lines (Pearl: low linoleic acid;...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability a miniaturized near-infrared spectrometer predict chemical parameters, technological and quality traits, fatty acids minerals in intact Longissimus thoracis Trapezius obtained from ribs 40 Charolais cattle. Modified partial least squares regression analysis correlate spectra information reference values, several scatter correction mathematical treatments have been tested. Leave-one-out cross-validation results showed that handheld instrument...
In this study GC×GC was used to the effects of pasture, hay, concentrate (indoor), and indoor plus 8 g/day a rumen-protected conjugated linoleic acid (indoor-CLA) diets on detailed fatty (FA) profiles six tissues (muscles, tissues, liver) collected from 36 lambs. This powerful technique allowed quantification 128 FAs, which 21 SFAs, 16 MUFAs, 19 PUFAs were identified by reference standards. The had similar, but not identical, FA (g/100 g FA) in various as both reduced total (from 8.91 ± 6.27...
Several local sheep breeds of the Alpine regions are in danger extinction as a result mountain farms being abandoned. Three fattening trials were carried out on 4 Veneto region (Foza, Lamon, Alpagota, and Brogna) total 115 ewes suckling lambs, weaned lambs heavy slaughtered at 1356 ± 267, 104 24, 219 26, 342 14 d age, respectively. The results confirmed that adoption mixed diets resulted good vivo post mortem performances culled (64 kg slaughter weight, 48% dressing percentage), (21 kg,...
The tissue-specific response to rumen-protected conjugated linoleic acid supply (rpCLA) of liver, two muscles, and three adipose tissues heavy lambs was studied. Twenty-four lambs, 8 months old, divided into 4 groups 6, were fed at libitum on a ration supplemented without or with mixture rpCLA. Silica hydrogenated soybean oil the rpCLA coating matrix. slaughtered 11 age. Tissues collected analyzed for their FA profiles. dietary supplement had no influence carcass fatness nor fat content...
Abstract. Feed additives including natural bioactive compounds (BCs) in combination with vitamin E (VitE) and organic Se could mitigate animal stress associated intensive livestock farming due to their anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties. Yeast yeast derivate are included feed as probiotic products digestion promoters. Scutellaria baicalensis is a source of has been tested monogastrics, exhibiting many immunostimulating hepato-protective activities. However, the literature lacks...
Infectious bronchitis virus is characterised by an extreme degree of variability which deeply affects the first-choice control strategies against disease. Each country tends to adopt its own protocols and even vaccine producers themselves can also different in attempts confront local epidemiological concerns. In present study, we tested potential environmental persistence, transmission ability replication capability a non-directly administrated strain at hatchery during transportation. To...
Biosecurity is essential to prevent the spread of diseases in livestock animals such as bovine respiratory disease which can lead negative effects on growth performance, and carcass meat quality, well an increase antimicrobial use. The aim this study was investigate quarantine post-mortem performances (hot weight, dressing percentage, pH 60 min after slaughtering, SEUROP conformation, fat cover) 576 Charolaise young bulls imported from France fattened specialized Italian farms. Approximately...
The present study investigated the effect of Camelina sativa cake dietary inclusion on quail meat fatty acids (FA), amino (AA), and sensory characteristics. To this, 480 broiler quails were allocated to four treatments (12 replicated cages/treatment): a control diet (Control) three diets with 15% camelina cake, containing commercial cultivar (Calena) two improved lines (Pearl: low linoleic acid; Alan: glucosinolates). After slaughter, breast FA AA profiles contents analysed, alongside...

To adapt new demand, beef industry needs study consumersâ sensory perception newly developed ensure their acceptability. This aimed examine on characteristics two commercial (hamburger and tartare) from three different types (Holstein-Italian bull,...
