“…The levels of supplementation were chosen to reach the maximum levels of hesperidin ingestion by the rabbit when consuming a diet supplemented with approximately 50% citrus pulp. Citrus pulp contains hesperidin at a level of 5 g/kg (Antongiovanni et al, 2005) and its dietary supplementation at a level of 45% does not influence rabbit performance and meat quality, according to previous experiments (Martínez-Pascual and Fernández-Carmona, 1980). Rabbits were kept indoors in individual cages (0.41×0.33×0.29 m) with wire mesh floors, under controlled environmental conditions (temperature: 22.5±3.5 ºC; relative humidity: 50±20%; lightning: 12/12 h light/dark cycle).…”

“…vitamin E (Castellini et al, 1998) and vitamin C (Castellini et al, 2000). Furthermore, supplementation of rabbits' diets with oats (Lopez-Bote et al, 1998) or chia seed (Peiretti and Meineri, 2008), 2 feeds that have several compounds with potent antioxidant properties, appears not to affect feed efficiency and body weight. On the other hand, the addition of bee pollen (200 mg/kg feed), a supplement with well known antioxidant properties, resulted in a reduction of feed conversion ratio in growing rabbits (4-12 wk of age) from 5.64 to 4.23 (Attia et al, 2011).…”

“…These compounds usually contain one or more aromatic hydroxyl groups, which actively scavenge free radicals and are responsible for the antioxidant activity. At the same time, citrus pulp constitutes a cheap feed, particularly during the dry summer when grass land is very limited in countries around the Mediterranean and reduces the dependence of livestock on grains that can be consumed by humans (Martínez-Pascual and Fernández-Carmona, 1980;Bampidis and Robinson, 2006).…”

An experiment was conducted to examine the dose effects of hesperidin dietary supplementation on fattening rabbits' growth performance, as well as carcass and meat quality characteristics. Forty-eight Hyla hybrid male weaned (35 d old) rabbits were purchased and randomly assigned to 3 dietary groups of 16 rabbits each and fed diets supplemented with the antioxidant hesperidin at 0, 1 and 2 g/kg feed. At 80 d of age, the rabbits were slaughtered and samples of Longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle were used to estimate meat quality traits. No significant differences were observed in body weight at the age of 80 d, feed conversion rate (35 to 80 d), or organ weights among the 3 groups. The pH, colour, percentage of released water, shear force values and intramuscular fat content of LL muscle were not significantly influenced by the dietary treatment. Hesperidin dietary supplementation at both levels reduced the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), mainly arachidonic (C20:4n-6), docosapentaenoic (C22:5n-3) and eicosapentaenoic (C20:5n-3) (only at 2 g/kg), and PUFA/SFA ratio (P<0.01). Based on the malondialdehyde (MDA) values, hesperidin inclusion did not influence meat antioxidant status during the 9-d refrigerated storage at 4°C. Thus, we may conclude that dietary supplementation with hesperidin at the selected concentration levels did not generally influence growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality or antioxidant capacity in fattening rabbits, although meat values for PUFAs appeared to be decreased.

“…This suggests that current nutrient supply and specific environmental factors may also affect the lipid peroxidation rate in muscles, as well as genetic factors (Gray et al, 1996, Lopez-Bote et al, 1998. The biological antioxidant defence system, particularly the parameters measured for the glutathione redox system, reduced glutathione content and glutathione peroxidase activity, were also unaffected by the selection process (Table 1).…”

Pannon White bucks were selected divergently using CT method by the volume of the hind leg muscle. Animals showed the highest and lowest muscle volumes were selected as minus and plus-selected variants. The male progenies of the minus and plus-selected parents were slaughtered as fi rst generation which was selected again by CT method and the male progenies of the parents were slaughtered. Results in the fi rst and second generation suggest that selection, as a genetic effect did not affect the rate of lipid peroxidation, as was measured by malondialdehyde content and glutathione redox status, as was measured by the reduced glutathione content and glutathione peroxidase activity of the hind leg muscle. However, there were some differences in the fatty acid composition. Signifi cant (P<0.05) difference was found in palmitoleic acid content which was higher in the minus as compared to the plus variants in the second generation, in eicosadienoic acid which was higher in the fi rst as compared to the second generation of minus variants, and total monounsaturated fatty acids which was higher in the minus as compared to the plus variants in the second generation. It means that selection for higher hind leg volume would not causes marked in changes in the rabbit meat quality as measured by lipid peroxide and glutathione status as well as fatty acid composition.

“…nudisativa (Rodionova et al 1994), has the ability to form grains that separate from the hull during the threshing process, which makes the production process in industrial use more rapid and efficient. In addition, it allows inclusion of naked oat in the formulation of poultry, pig, cattle and horse diets, substituting cereals such as corn and barley (MacLean et al 1993, Lopez et al 1998, Peltonen-Sainio et al 2004, Flis et al 2007). …”
