“…WHC is the ability of meat to retain its own water during the conversion of muscle into meat. Poor WHC results in high drip and purge loss, which can represent a significant loss of weight in carcasses to affect the yield and quality of meat (Wright et al., ). Minimal weight loss is always desired by consumers.…”

A 10‐week feeding trial of using housefly (Musca domestica) maggot meal (MM) in practical feeds for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was conducted to assess the growth performance, ingredient utilization, flesh quality, innate immunity and its influence on water environment. Fish were fed five isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets, where fishmeal (FM) was substituted by MM at the level of 0, 90, 180, 270 and 360 g kg‐1 diet (remaining FM content: 360, 270, 180, 90 and 0 g kg‐1). There was no significant difference in feed intake and apparent digestibility coefficient between the treatments. Replacing up to 270 g kg‐1 FM did not have an impact on the growth performance and ingredient utilization, whereas the complete replacement of FM caused significantly lower survival rate, weight gain, specific growth rate and higher feed conversion rate. Dietary MM was also proved positively influential in flesh quality, whereas replacing 180 g kg‐1 or more FM suppressed the innate immunity of tilapia. When compared by the effects on the water environment, the increasing substitute levels were accompanied with the declining concentrations of nitrite nitrogen and total phosphorus in the water. Our study verified the feasibility of using MM as a partial substitute of FM in aquatic feed. When replacing 180 g kg‐1 FM (corresponding to half of the FM content in control diet) in the diet of Nile tilapia, it can serve as a renewable and environmentally superior alternative without compromising the performance criteria.

“…The denaturation of myosin was shown by Offer (1991) to induce shortening of the myosin head and reduction in filament space, which forces water from the muscle cells into the extracellular space and causes a reduction in WHC. Poor WHC is of economic importance as it increases drip loss and purge, leading to excessive carcass weight loss and reduced yield and quality of fresh and processed meat (Savage et al 1990;Wright et al 2005). Poor WHC in beef may negatively affect consumer perception of juiciness, as was reported for high rigor temperature carcasses by Warner et al (2014c).…”

Abstract. An increasing number of Australian slaughter plants were found not to meet the Meat Standards Australia (MSA) pH-temperature window, due to high rigor temperatures, particularly at plants where grain-fed animals were slaughtered. Hence, the red meat processing industry in Australia supported a research program focused on resolving this issue, as carcasses that do not meet the MSA pH-temperature window are excluded from MSA grading. This special issue of Animal Production Science describes the outcomes of a major program identifying ante-and post-mortem factors related to heat-induced toughening in both beef and sheep meat through literature reviews and targeted research to find interventions to prevent the impact of high rigor temperature on meat quality, particularly tenderness. This paper provides an overview of the outcomes of the research program, some of which require further research before implementation. It is suggested that an entire supply-chain approach be applied to establish the most efficient and cost-effective way of reducing the incidence of high rigor temperature.

“…Water‐holding capacity (WHC) is the capacity of flesh to retain its own water. Poor WHC results in high drip and purge loss, which can represent a significant loss of weight in carcasses that affects the yield and quality of meat . Although there was no significant change in drip loss, fillet thaw loss was increased by dietary cyanobacteria.…”
