The main idea of the current study was to estimate carcass tissue composition using fat thickness and longissimusthoracis (LT) traits real-time ultrasound measurements (USM) in Black Belly ewe lambs through multiresponse multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) algorithms. Twenty-four hours...

Chinese local pig breeds are valuable agricultural germplasm resources and related to the sustainable development of animal husbandry in China. As one of the important economic traits in pig production, meat quality traits have meaningful research value. Luchuan pig is one of the famous eight local ...

This study aimed to investigate the influence of protein oxidation on the digestive properties of beef myofibrillar protein (MP). MP was treated with a hydroxyl radical-generating system containing various concentrations of H₂O₂. The increased content in a free sulfhydryl group and surface...

Objective: To detect whether raccoon dog meat components are contained in mutton. Method: We designed specific detection primers using cytB as a target gene by real-time PCR, selected muscle tissue samples from eight different species as study subjects, and established a standard curve by linear...

The study aimed to analyze the use of encapsulated probiotic Lactobacillus salivarius in complete feed on Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), meat fat content, meat cholesterol content and income over feed cost (IOFC) of local Rabbit. Thirty-two local male rabbits aged 8 to 12 weeks were taken as the...

This research aimed to evaluate the influence of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) levels (control: 0; high: 747.79; ultra-high: 1344.17 Wcm^-2) on pH, instrumental color (redness, R630/580, hue angle and chroma) and oxidative stability (lipid and protein oxidation) of Psoas major (PM) muscle from...

Epigenetic modifications are heritable changes in gene expression and phenotype without changing in the DNA sequence. Previous studies have shown that epigenetic regulation is involved in many life processes and plays an important role in fat deposition. Moreover, fat deposition is an important...

The present study was carried out to study the effect of steam cooking without pressure for 15 minutes (SC1), 20 minutes (SC2) and 25 minutes (SC3) on physico-chemical properties, texture profile analysis as well as sensorial properties of chicken meat loaf. SC3 had significantly (P < 0.05)...

The purpose of this study was to compare postmortem calpain changes in porcine muscle between Lanyu native (n = 10) and Kaohsiung crossbred (50% Meishan and 50% Duroc, n = 10) black pigs. Longissimus dorsi (LM) muscles (4th to 10th ribs) from both sides of carcasses were hot-sectioned in 30 min...

Selenium is an essential trace mineral element to maintain animal health, and plays an important role in the physiological processes of antioxidant, immune response, growth, development and reproduction. Selenium exists in animal organisms mainly in the form of selenium protein and is an important...
