A 42-day study was conducted to evaluate the effect of genotype: terminal sire line Duroc × F1 (DC×F1); Embrapa MS-115 (MS-115×F1); and Moura (MS-115×MO) three dietary oil sources: soybean; canola; canola + flax, on performance, carcass traits, pork quality, fatty acid composition. Genotype affected technological quality profile. MS-115-sired pigs had better meat color Duroc-sired higher intramuscular fat content, more saturated omega-6/omega-3 ratio. breed influenced positively tenderness...
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to assess the effects including grape pomace in diet pigs on pork quality and oxidative stability body fat enriched with omega-3 fatty acids. Four treatments were compared: T1) Control based corn soybean meal; T2) Diet inclusion 3% a canola (50%) flaxseed oil blend; T3) blend sequential levels 3 5% pomace; T4) 6 10% pomace. Inclusion led an increase (P<0.10) a* value color saturation index meat. polyunsaturated acids (PUFA) content backfat...
Ca and P homeostasis across the egg-laying cycle is a complex process involving absorption in small intestine, reabsorption/excretion kidneys, eggshell gland secretion. Diets with inadequate calcium phosphorus can interfere their digestibility, resulting quality losses reduced productive life, affecting egg production welfare. A better understanding of gene expression profiles kidneys laying hens during late period could clarify renal role mineral metabolism at this stage. Therefore,...
Meat quality and cut yield of pigs slaughtered between 100 150kg live weight were evaluated. Pigs (417 Agroceres PIC barrows gilts) fed a daily allowance 2.8kg per head from 80kg until 100.71±0.85, 118.58±0.99, 134.07±1.18 or 143.90±1.24kg weight. Seventy-one used for the evaluation primal subprimal cuts. There was no interaction sex slaughter any evaluated parameters. Ham, shoulder, loin weights linearly increased (P<0.01; R2: 84.3-93.2%) with increasing weight, which, however, had...
This study aimed to evaluate the use of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) extract (RE), celery (Apium graveolis), and low levels NO3 NO2 as natural agents enhance quality colonial salami. Salami was produced according three treatments: (A) Control: 0.1% curing salt; (B) Rosemary: 0.05% salt + 0.5% RE (rosemary extract); (C) Rosemary+celery: 0.14% Veg 503 0.27% 504 (sea plus celery) extract). There no effect (P > 0.05) treatments on water activity, Na content, residual NO2. Fatty acids...
Many requirements are necessary to meet the European Union rules export poultry, including amount of physiological water and water-protein ratio (WPR) in carcasses. Therefore, aim this study was identify if strain, nutrition, age affect collagen fat WPR cuts verify whether latter meets international standards. A total 3,240 male chicks were housed a completely randomized design 3 × 5 factorial arrangement, which included nutritional densities (regular, medium, high), strains (021 Embrapa 2...
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensory and physicochemical quality colonial salamis added with vegetable-based curing ingredients as potential enhancers products. Salamis were produced according three treatments: (A) Control: 0.1% salt; (B) rosemary: 0.05% salt + 0.5% rosemary extract (RE); (C) RE+celery: 0.14% Veg 503 0.27% 504 (sea plus celery, nitrate nitrite supplies, respectively) RE. No significant differences observed (P>0.05) among treatments for dry matter...
Many economic losses occur in the poultry industry due to leg fragility. Knowing genomic regions that influence traits associated with growth and composition of leg's bone can help improve selection process leading increased resistance fracture. The present study aimed map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for mineral morphometric tibia 478 animals from an F2 broiler × layer cross. measurement weight, length width Tibia was carried out at 42 days age. Ash, dry matter, levels calcium (Ca),...
The aim was to evaluate the effect of different feeding volumes on cut yield and meat quality brown eggshell laying hens strain Embrapa 051 (E051) during cycle, reared in an alternative system slaughtered at 73 weeks, with reference lineage Lohmann Brown (LB). 600 E051 200 LB were used entirely randomized experimental design totalizing 5 replicates 40 birds each. treatments were: Control (LB fed 100% their dietary requirements), 93% control diet, 107% diet. Birds supplemented daily 30g...
Male broiler chickens (384), Cobb 500, were housed in metabolic cages to assess the efficacy of phytase diets with low and high phytate-phosphorus on performance, bone physical characteristics, tissue serum mineral deposits. Birds distributed four treatments a 2 x factorial arrangement completely randomized block design. Experimental based maize-soybean meal T1 - diet phytate-phosphorus; T2 (500 FTU/kg); T3 T4 FTU/kg). Feed intake, body weight, weight gain feed conversion ratio assessed. Two...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect replacing soybean meal with canola in broiler diets on performance, liver histopathology, morphometry intestinal mucosa and thyroid. One-day-old Cobb chicks (n=300) were distributed a completely randomized design, increasing levels replacement (0, 25, 50, 75 100%) 6 repetitions 10 birds each. Weight gain decreased linearly (P< 0.05) inclusion meal, all stages. Villus height duodenum jejunum 0.05). Follicle diameter thyroid...
