This study was performed to determine the slaughter and carcass traits, meat color, pH, nutrient composition, fatty acids, amino cholesterol content of local Turkish goose varieties. In present study, a total 80 geese from white, black, gray, multicolored varieties were reared in an extensive production system at 28 wk age. Quality analysis on breast thigh meat, as well skin abdominal fat studied geese. Slaughter weights significantly higher white variety (P < 0.01). Measured lower black...
