To determine the effects of dietary inclusion bergamot pulp and olive leaves on pork quality, thirty-six barrows (Apulo-Calabrese; 112.5±7.40 kg initial bodyweight) were randomly assigned to four experimental treatments fed for 100 days a control diet (control group) or similar in which part cereals replaced with 20% (DM fed) ensiled (dry matter fed, EBP (OLL 1:1 mixture both by-products (BPOL group). In present study, administration did not influence accumulation IMF (P > 0.05) meat. As...
The aim of the present study was to assess impacts coffee silverskin (CSS) inclusion in rabbit diets regard meat quality. A total 30 Hycole rabbits were divided into two groups 15 animals per group and fed with a basal diet (C group) or same but 10% CSS (CSS10 as partial cereal replacement. Integration increased dry matter intake (DMI, p < 0.05) tended increase (p = 0.096) final body weight. reduce concentration C18:3 ω-3 0.089), C20:5 0.064) C22:5 0.069) muscle compared control diet,...
Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) applies a complex of sensor technology, algorithms, and multiple tools for individual, real-time livestock monitoring. In intensive systems, PLF is now quite widespread, allowing the optimisation management, thanks to early recognition diseases possibility monitoring animals’ feeding reproductive behaviour, with an overall improvement their welfare. Similarly, systems represent opportunity improve profitability sustainability extensive farming including...
Multielemental stable isotope ratio (SIR) analysis was used in lamb plasma, erythrocytes and muscle to detect the switch from a pasture- concentrate-based diet, with aim of verifying possibility trace change feeding animal tissues. During 89 days experimental feeding, lambs were subjected four dietary treatments: pasture (P), followed by concentrate stall for either 14 (P-S14) or 37 (P-S37) (S). Pasture diets comprised C3 plants only had different values 13C/12C, 18O/16O, 2H/1H 34S/32S...
To investigate the effect of only pasture or hay and concentrate feedings on milk cheese fatty acid composition, 20 lactating Italian Red Pied cows were randomly allocated into two groups. Group E was grazed without integration; I fed with <em>ad libitum</em> mixture. A traditional cheese-making technique used to make Caciocavallo cheese. Milk from showed higher percentages total PUFA, C18:3 n-3, cis-9,trans-11 conjugated linoleic trans-11 C18:1, a reduced percentage C16:0 C18:2...
An investigation was carried out on the effect in pig diet of supplementation with exhausted bergamot by-product, stemming from pharmaceutical industry after extraction phenolic compounds, growth performance and quality meat products. Twenty pigs were assigned to two dietary treatments fed a conventional concentrate (control) or including by-product at level 15% DM basis (EB). No significant differences between found for final weight (p = 0.243), carcass 0.679), dry matter intake 0.321). In...
This study aimed to recover the phenols from olive oil mill wastewater, a major pollutant of industry, by using spray-drying technology produce new feed with nutraceutical value for animal supplementation and evaluate its effect on productivity nutritional quality ewe milk. Forty-five Sarda ewes in late lactation (150 ± 2 d) homogeneous live weight (52 1.5 kg) were randomly allotted into three groups fed dietary treatments containing increasing levels polyphenols: 0% (C), 0.1% (T0.1), 0.2%...
Sixteen Podolian young bulls were used to study the effects of two different feeding systems on fatty acids composition and oxidative stability meat: C group, eight kept indoors fed with commercial concentrate for all experimental period (260 days); PC allowed graze a pasture 200 days shifted indoor, concentrate, 60 before being slaughtered. Meat from that allowed, stall finishing natural showed lower levels some n-6 PUFA higher n-3 than meat animals offered only whole period. Lipid...
In the Mediterranean area olive cake and citrus (orange) pulp are two important agro-industrial by-products. Their elimination can have high costs. These by-products used separately or as part of mixture in animal feeding since many years (Accardi et al., 1979; Dattilo Congiu, 1995; Hadjipanayiotou, 1999; Scerra 2001)...
In the Mediterranean area, use of some agricultural by-products, difficult to be eliminated, in feeding animals, represents a key element for valorization bioenergetic resources. Among by-products which may found at low price our olive cake and citrus pulp orange have awaked great interest...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the inclusion different amounts ensiled olive cake, a major pollutant from oil production, in fattening diets 30 Apulo-Calabrese pigs as strategy partially substitute traditional cereal-based diet and improve animal performance meat fatty acid composition. animals, during period 120 days, were fed with three dietary treatments containing increasing levels cake: 0% (C), 20% (OC20) 40% (OC40) on dry matter. No effect treatment found proximate analysis...
