Nutritional composition and sensory characteristics of breast meat from different chickens

Carcass traits and meat quality assessment of two slow-growing chicks strains fed Acheta domesticus larval meal

“…The results obtained by Devatkal et al (2019) also found no differences in the percentages of moisture, ash, and total fat when comparing the meats of different chicken genotypes with different growth rates, although they did observe differences in crude protein content, with higher levels for slow-growing chicks, but with these values being lower than those obtained in the present study. In contrast, in the work of Hailemariam et al (2022) , variations were found in the percentages of moisture, crude protein, and ash when using different genotypes, obtaining values similar to our results with the Improved Horro and Indigenous genotypes.…”

“…Moreover, these alternative models typically employ slow-growing chicken strains, thereby honoring the natural growth cycle of the birds ( Nieto et al, 2023 b ). This practice leads to notable nutritional and organoleptic quality disparities compared to industrial chicken strains ( Jaturasitha et al, 2008 ; Hailemariam et al, 2022 ).…”

Discriminant canonical analysis as a tool for genotype traceability testing based on turkey meat and carcass traits

“…This lack of consistency could be due to the great variability of factors influencing meat chemical composition, as the ash proportion is influenced by genotype, sex, age, rearing system, and nutrition ( 146 ). The aforementioned variables (fat and ash) showed negative correlations with moisture (−0.375 and −0.498, respectively), which is supported by literature ( 144 , 147 , 148 ), which could be attached to the fact that greater fatty muscles repulse moisture due to their low solubility ( 147 ). Fat was also found to be negatively associated with protein (−0.460), which is reinforced by previous authors ( 149 ).…”

“…Regarding these traits, contradictory results are found in the bibliography. A positive association between traits has been described (144), and parallel tendencies of variables were reported when comparing turkey genotypes (8) and rearing systems (7). On the other hand, a negative correlation (144) and no correlation (145) among traits have been reported as well.…”

Effects of dietary supplementation of postbiotic derived from Bacillus subtilis ACCC 11025 on growth performance, meat yield, meat quality, excreta bacteria, and excreta ammonia emission of broiler chicks

“…Meat yield are critical factors in determining the commercial value of broiler chick carcasses, with a particular focus on parts like breast muscle and leg muscle ( Santoso et al, 2015 ). Chicken meat is well-known for its high protein content ( Hailemariam et al, 2022 ), and, as such, dietary protein intake and utilization are closely linked to meat yield. Serum albumin and total protein levels serve as valuable indicators that provide insights into protein intake and utilization.…”
