Abstract
This study was made to determine the effects of genotype and housing system on physical quality characteristics of breast and leg meat of broilers under experimental conditions. The 150 slow-growing and 150 fast-growing 1 d old chicks were divided into three sub-groups with indoor raised slatted plastic floor, indoor concrete floor with rice hull litter, and free-range housing systems (2 genotype groups × 3 housing systems). All birds were offered the same diet and were housed in similar conditions until they were 56 d old. At slaughter, 10 birds from each main group were selected randomly to determine the quality characteristics of the meat. In total, 60 breast meat pieces (pectoralis major muscle) and 60 legs of the chickens were used for meat quality analysis including pH, shear force, and colour characteristics such as lightness ( L ∗ ), redness ( a ∗ ), yellowness ( b ∗ ), saturation ( C ∗ ), and hue angle ( h ∗ ). The pH of breast meat was significantly affected by genotype and housing system ( P < 0.001 and P < 0.001 ). There were significant genotype × housing system interactions for pH ( P < 0.015 and P < 0.001 ) and shear force values ( P < 0.007 and P < 0.012 ) of leg and breast meat. There were no significant effects of genotype and housing system on leg and breast meat colour properties except for effects of genotype on redness ( a ∗ ) of breast meat ( p < 0.005 ) and effects of housing on redness of leg meat colour ( p < 0.031 ). Slow-growing chickens and chickens housed in deep litter had a higher redness (darker) value of breast and leg meat colour compared to fast-growing birds and free range and slatted floor. In conclusion, it can be said that fast-growing broilers may be more appropriate for slatted plastic floor housing and slow-growing broilers may be more suitable for a free-range housing system, but further research on factors affecting meat quality would be very beneficial, especially in slow-growing broilers.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate growth performance, carcass characteristics, short-chain fatty acids, fatty acid composition in abdominal fat, and serum parameters in broiler chickens fed diets containing corn oil, coconut oil, or black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) oil at the level of 50 g per kg of diet during the 30-day-feeding period. A total 450 one-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly allocated to one of 3 dietary groups. Each treatment had 10 replicates with 15 chicks per replicate. Feed conversion ratio was decreased in the coconut and BSFL oil group compared with the corn oil group. Dietary BSFL oil increased ileal weight-to-length ratio at day 30 after hatch. Dietary BSFL oil increased significantly ileal branched-chain fatty acid (P < 0.05) and moderately total short-chain fatty acid in 15-day-old broilers (P = 0.074). At day 30, ileal propionate was highest in the coconut oil group but cecal propionate was highest (P < 0.05) in the BSFL oil group. Fatty acid composition of abdominal fat was affected by dietary fat sources. Especially, chickens fed diets containing coconut oil or BSFL oil had higher contents (P < 0.05) of saturated fatty acid being dominant in lauric and myristic acids compared with those fed on corn oil. On the other hand, the reverse trend was noted (P < 0.05) as to polyunsaturated fatty acids being dominant in corn oil compared with coconut oil and BSFL oil. Coconut oil vs. corn oil significantly increased total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Finally, BSFL oil vs. corn oil significantly increased total antioxidant capacity in chickens. It is concluded that dietary BSFL oil improves feed conversion ratio and increases the incorporation of medium-chain fatty acids into abdominal fat pad and serum antioxidant capacity in broiler chickens.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of intramuscular fat (IMF) on carcass traits of Chaohu ducks. Two-hundred-forty ducks were separated by sex and raised in separate pens. Slaughter performance, meat quality, and serum lipid parameters were identified. Based on IMF, samples were divided into males with high IMF (CHM) or low IMF (CLM) and females with high IMF (CHF) or low IMF (CLF). There were significant differences in the living body weight, abdominal fat ratio (%), shear force, IMF, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) content between female and male ducks. In addition, compared with the CLM group, the shear force (p = 0.001) was significantly greater but the lightness (p = 0.006) was lower in the CHM group. TC, HDL and LDL content were also significantly higher (p = 0.033, 0.027 and 0.012, respectively) in the CHM group. The butcher ratio (0.028), eviscerating rate (0.039) and breast meat ratio (0.028) in the CHF group was significantly lower than that in CLF group, while these parameters showed no difference between CHM and CLM. In conclusion, IMF had a significantly positive correlation with subcutaneous fat and abdominal fat and was also positively correlated with TC, HDL and LDL in Chaohu ducks.

Comparison of liver transcriptome from high- and low-intramuscular fat Chaohu ducks provided additional candidate genes for lipid selection. 3 Biotech 2019; 9:251. [PMID: 31218175 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-019-1780-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2019] [Accepted: 05/26/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The meat quality of ducks is closely related to the intramuscular fat (IMF) content. This study explored the candidate regulatory genes of IMF formation and lipid deposition in Chaohu ducks. The IMF of breast muscle in 100 ducks was determined and statistically analysed by normal distribution test. Duck liver samples with high IMF (CH, n = 3) and low IMF (CL, n = 3) were selected for transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The IMF was in accordance with normal distribution (T = 0.001, P = 0.999). The IMF from two tails of the normal distribution was significantly different with 2.9983% ± 0.3296% in the CH group and 1.1960% ± 0.1481% in the CL group (P < 0.0001). RNA-Seq revealed 147 differentially expressed genes, including 78 up-regulated and 69 down-regulated genes in both groups. Validation by qRT-PCR was in agreement with RNA-Seq (R 2 = 0.838). Gene ontology analysis revealed that organophosphate catabolism, oxidation-reduction process, cellular lipid catabolism, lipid transport, lipid localisation, lipid biosynthesis and cellular lipid catabolism were involved in lipid metabolism. Meanwhile, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis suggested that steroid hormone biosynthesis, ovarian steroidogenesis, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor biosynthesis and linoleic acid metabolism were involved in lipid deposition, wherein the genes COMT, NT5E, PDE4D, PLA2G4F, A-FABP, ADRA2A, HSD17B2, PPP1R3C, PPP1R3B and NR0B2 were involved in lipid deposition. This study provided insights into the molecular mechanism for regulating lipid metabolism and identified candidate genes for selecting markers to control IMF formation in Chaohu ducks.

Poult Sci 2019; 98:1678-1683. [PMID: 30476277 DOI: 10.3382/ps/pey536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2018] [Accepted: 11/02/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Many bedding materials have been tested in broiler industry for their suitability. However, little knowledge is available regarding the usage of different bedding materials supplemented with sepiolite and their effects on animal performance and final product quality. For this purpose, a total of 288 day-old male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into two types of bedding materials (wood shavings and rice hulls). Each bedding material group was divided into 3 sub-groups: control with 0% sepiolite, 25%-sepiolite group, and 50%-sepiolite group. Each sub-group was placed in 6 pens with 8 chicks per pen. The effects of bedding materials and sepiolite additions on slaughter yields and some meat quality parameters in broilers were evaluated. Slaughter parameters including hot carcass yield and relative weights of thigh and breast meat, heart, liver, gizzard and bursa Fabricius in broilers were not affected by bedding materials and sepiolite additions (P > 0.05). Also, no significant differences were observed among experimental groups for cooking loss and nutritional profile of breast and thigh meat of broilers (P > 0.05). The freshly measured pH0 of breast and thigh meats was significantly affected by the bedding material and was higher for wood shavings group (P < 0.01). Breast and thigh meats of broilers reared on rice hulls were lighter (P < 0.01), less red, and less yellow in color than those reared on wood shavings, whereas no effect of sepiolite additions was observed on the color of both meat cuts. No substantial effect of bedding material and sepiolite additions was observed on white stripping; however, their occurrence rate found was very high for meat of broilers reared on rice hulls than those reared on wood shavings (P > 0.05). In conclusion, broilers reared on either wood shavings or rice hulls with or without sepiolite additions did not show any negative effects on slaughter yields and meat quality parameters. Furthermore, sepiolite can be an option as a bedding material for broiler industry, but further research with thorough economic analysis is required.
