RESUMO O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes períodos de jejum alimentar (três, seis, nove, 12, 15 e 18 horas) na perda de peso da ave viva, rendimento da carcaça quente e fria (antes e após o resfriamento no "chiller"). Os ABSTRACT This research was aimed at evaluating the effect of different feed withdrawal (FW) periods (3, 6, 9, 12, 15
Effect of feed withdrawal in the quality of broilers meat raised in the conventional systemThe objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different feed withdrawal periods (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 hours) on the weight loss of broilers raised in the conventional system and the yield of the hot and cold carcass (before and after cooling), as well as to evaluate the quality attributes of the broilers breast meat. In this experiment, 46-day-old Ross broilers were used. The results found in this study show that the prolonged feed withdrawal time had a significant effect (p≤0,05) on the weight loss of the birds before slaughtering, with a 5% loss for a 12-hour feed withdrawal period. As the feed withdrawal periods increased, so did the amount of weight loss in the living carcass. The hot carcass yield was higher between 3 and 6 hours of feed withdrawal and reduced after 9 hours with a significant difference (p≤0,05). As to the cold carcass yield, it decreased as the fasting time increased, with a significant difference (p≤0,05) on the shear force (kgf. cm -2 ) of the breast meat. As to coloration, the increase in the feed withdrawal period made the meat darker, but no significant difference was found. According to the data from the quality attributes correlation, a negative correlation was observed between the L* value and the pH of the meat, for as the pH increased, the L* value decreased. A positive correlation was observed between the pH and the WHC, since, as the pH of the breast meat increased, so did the WHC. The positive correlation between the cooking loss and the shear force showed that the increase in the weight loss by the cooking influenced negatively the tenderness of the meat. According to the results found for the carcass yield, the best results were found for the fasting periods between 3 and 9 hours. As to the physical-chemical quality of the chicken breast meat, no significant difference was found among the different feed withdrawal periods.
