“…In broiler chickens, Khaskiye et al . () also observed an increase in the physical muscle characteristics (such as weight and diameter) and modulation of its fibers due to exercise. They also verified that the pattern of physical activity influences the intensity of muscle differentiation, and that both the placement of barriers and ramps in conventional boxes are crucial for obtaining heavier muscles.…”

Beijing-you is a Chinese local chicken which is raised for both meat and eggs. In the present study, we detected the effects of different rearing systems on growth, slaughtering performances and meat quality of Beijing-you chickens at 26-40 weeks of age. Six hundred Beijing-you hens were randomly allocated into two groups at 16 weeks of age and raised in free range or battery cage systems. The body weight, slaughtering performance and meat quality were measured for each group at the ages of 26, 30, 35 and 40 weeks. Some of the traits were dramatically influenced by the two systems, although most of them did not show significant changes. For the meat fiber microstructure, we found that the diameter of thigh and breast muscle fiber in the free range group were significantly increased than in the cage group (P < 0.05) at 26 weeks of age. The ratio of fast muscle fiber in thigh muscle samples of the free range group was significantly reduced compared to that of cage group at both 35 (P < 0.01) and 40 (P < 0.01) weeks of age, indicating that the free range system could promote the transforming of fast muscle fiber to slow muscle fiber.

“…This phenomenon is significant for determination of fiber types affected by myoblast differentiation caused by in vivo microenvironment differences during muscle fiber regeneration after injury or atrophy. Moreover, low frequency electrical stimulation increased oxidative activity in all muscle fiber types, whereas high-frequency stimulation resulted in decreased oxidative activity ( Khaskiye et al, 1987 ).Therefore, the muscle fiber types of normally innervated chicks changed with different electrical stimulation frequencies, indirectly proving that the activity pattern of the birds affected the difference between slow and fast muscle fiber types.…”

“…There are also indications that certain forms of mechanical overload (stress, exercise, compensatory hypertrophy) may promote an increase in the number of m al animal species (Kelley, 1996). In broiler chickens, Khaskiye et al (1987) observed an increase in the physical muscle characteristics (such as weight and diameter) and modulation of its fibers due to the exercise. The authors also verified that the pattern of physical activity influences the intensity of muscle m , s la rowth rates and reared with or without outdoor access.…”

The meat quality can be influenced by many interacting factors before and after the slaughter. Currently more sustainable production systems are targeted in general, whether or not they have any effect on meat quality. The sustainability is a condition of agroecology and necessarily im- plies on the animal and plant association and succession. A condition for sustainability is to minimize or even eliminate the use of inputs from processes of chemical synthesis. In the case of pigs and poultry, this is feasible by adopting production systems that allows nutria- ents recycle directly on the soil at levels that do not involve pollution. Although we have the understanding that the general principles of sustainability to be observed are universal, the solution is not simple. For each situation a vi- able alternative must be sought, depending on the social, economic, ecological and cultural realities. In tropical and subtropical climates the production of pigs and poultry outdoors can be an appropriate option. This also leads to nutria- ents recycle and promotes a better energy bal- ance of the system. Among the alternatives that can be taken to introduce differentiating factors in meat production as food is the type of pro- duction system, due to its direct impact on the meat quality. These systems have a direct in- fluence through the consumed food, by the conditions of animal wellbeing, physical activity and the environment provided. The performance and meat quality depend on the interaction of genotypes, rearing conditions, pre-slaughter handling and processing of the meat and the carcass. The influence of the rearing system on the animal performance, on the carcass and finally on the meat is the result of the interactive effects among facilities, feeding level and ge-notype used in the production systems. The production of poultry and pigs more extensively tend to get a final product with its own or- ga-noleptic characteristics, changing the meat de-fault color and content, place of fat deposi- tion and the fatty acid profile deposited on the carcass
