The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of using chicken meat affected by wooden breast (WB) myopathy in the production of chicken sausages. Compare the technological and sensory properties of such sausages were compared with those produced from normal (N) breast meat. Three types of chicken sausages were elaborated: 100% containing N chicken meat, 100% of WB chicken meat and 50% N/50% of WB meat. The WB chicken meat presented higher values for pH, L*, moisture, cooking loss, shear force, hardness, chewiness, adhesiveness and gumminess; while WHC and protein content were higher for N chicken meat. N and WB chicken sausages presented similar values of WHC, a*, b* color values, protein content and TBARS. QDA indicated no sensory differences between the three sausage formulations, so did the acceptability and purchase intention. Therefore, WB chicken meat may be used to produce chicken sausages combined or not with N chicken meat. Further studies, however, may be required to investigate the nutritional value and digestibility of WB meat and derived products.
BACKGROUND Considering (i) the increased incidence of wooden breast (WB) myopathy in broilers, (ii) the poor meat quality in such breasts and (iii) the lack of studies on the industrial use of WBs; the objective of this study was to investigate the quality of chicken sausages made with WB under frozen conditions. Three formulations of chicken sausage [100% normal (N) breast, 100% WB, and 50% N breast + 50% WB] were considered and raw and cooked (70 °C/10 min) sausages were frozen for 180 days and evaluated for their quality and oxidative stability. RESULTS WB formulations exhibited higher pH, moisture (%), and shear force (SF), associated with lower water holding capacity (WHC) and fat (%). During the freezing period, there was a decrease in WHC and redness (a*) and an increase in cooking loss (CL) and SF for all formulations. Additionally, during freezing, thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substances values were higher in raw sausages made with N breast than in sausage made with WB probably due to the higher fat content in the former. Results showed that the products did not reach noticeable rancid levels (<2 mg malondialdehyde/kg) and that WB sausage presented great resistance to oxidation, which suggests that WB sausage can be kept frozen at −20 °C for up to 198 days. CONCLUSION Using WBs for the manufacture of chicken sausages subjected to freezing is a viable option given their overall quality and resistance to oxidation. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry
The present report describes the first case of vesicular stomatitis in the State of Paraíba, Brazil. Records from the Official Veterinary Services of the State of Paraíba were analyzed while responding to a suspected case of vesicular disease at a property (property I) in the municipality of Pombal in which the cattle showed clinical signs and lesions of vesicular disease. Surveillance in the surrounding area revealed similar lesions in cattle at two other properties (II and III). Based on these events, the suspicion was considered well founded, and samples were collected for evaluation at the National Agricultural Laboratory of the State of Pará. The property was interdicted, and those located within a 3 km radius (perifocal) from the focus were inspected. At property I, 42.86% (6/14) of the cattle showed vesicular disease lesions characterized by intense sialorrhea, ruptured oral vesicles, epithelial detachment of the tongue and muzzle, and vesicular lesions in the udder and interdigital space. Similar lesions were detected in cattle at properties II and III, affecting 80.95% (34/42) and 11.54% (3/26) of the animals, respectively. Tissue samples collected from the three properties were positive for the vesicular stomatitis virus (Indiana 3 subtype). The properties were monitored for 21 days after the last infected animal was cured, and afterwards, the three properties were released.

Foram analisados os documentos produzidos pelo Serviço Veterinário Oficial do Estado da Paraíba durante o atendimento de uma notificação de suspeita de doença vesicular em uma propriedade (propriedade I) do município de Pombal em que bovinos apresentavam sinais clínicos e lesões compatíveis com doença vesicular. Durante a vigilância das propriedades vizinhas, em outras duas propriedades (II e III) foram encontradas lesões similares. Diante desse quadro, a suspeita foi considerada fundamentada e foi feita a colheita de material para diagnóstico no Laboratório Nacional Agropecuário no Estado do Pará (LANAGRO-PA), interdição da propriedade e investigação das propriedades de um raio de
