This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different stunning frequencies and electrical current waveforms on chicken welfare meat quality. Two-hundred-thirty-two Cobb broilers, 48 d age 2.76 ± 0.47 live-weight, were randomly assigned into 4 treatments - 2 (300 Hz 650 Hz) (direct [DC] alternating [AC]). Broilers electrically stunned in a water bath commercial slaughterhouse (70 V, 100 mA). The electronarcosis efficiency confirmed by assessment visual parameters (absence rhythmic breathing,...
The shelf life extending effect of different modified atmospheres packages (MAP): vacuum (MAP-1), 69.6% N2 + 30% CO2 0.4% CO (MAP-2) and 70% O2 (MAP-3) on lamb meat at two slaughter ages (4 8-month-old) was assessed. pH decreased as age (SA) increased, increased during longer storage time (ST), with no MAP effects. Lamb stored in MAP-1 MAP-3 showed greater drip loss than that MAP-2. Shear force not influenced by SA treatments, but ST. Meat from 8-month-old lambs packaged ST resulted lipid...

The aim here is to present data on the efficacy of anthelmintics in sheep flocks Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and discuss interpretation fecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) for each nematode genus. Fecal eggs counts pre- post-treatment coprocultures were performed, former evaluate latter determine overall parasite prevalence. An additional was performed at Farm # 1 a year after initial test. Severe anthelmintic resistance found flocks, with no FECRT sensitivity any 22 farms evaluated. However,...

Three pet farms, four meat five research were visited, the farm characteristics collected between June 2018 March 2019. A total 1170 rabbits 617 cages evaluated. Most had 21 60 (58.3%) does. Considering...
This study evaluated the effects of NaCl added to water during silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) transportation on stress and meat quality. Physiological indicators (cortisol, glucose, circulating ions liver glycogen) quality parameters (rigor mortis, pH, instrumental color, psychotropic aerobic count sensory analysis) were assessed. Adult (n=380) distributed in four experimental groups: T1: non-transported; T2: transported without addition; T3: with 8.0-g L–1 T4: 12.0-g addition. The addition...
