Abstract
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effect of dietary red grape pomace (RGP) powder on physiological and meat quality responses of Japanese quail. Three hundred quail birds were randomly distributed to five dietary treatments formulated as follows: a negative control diet without antibiotics (NegCon); a positive control diet with antibiotics (PosCon); NegCon diluted with RGP at a rate of 1.5% (RGP15), 3.5% (RGP35), and 5.5% (RGP55). Diet RGP55 promoted higher (p < 0.05) overall feed intake (934.3 g/bird) than diet RGP35 (809.2 g/bird). The NegCon diet promoted the highest breast meat lightness (L*) value (46.1) while the lowest value (42.7) was observed in RGP35 meat. In conclusion, quail birds reared on RGP-containing diets had similar physiological and meat quality parameters as those on the antibiotic-containing diet. An optimum inclusion level could not be determined using the physiological and meat quality responses, suggesting a need to investigate higher levels of dietary RGP.
期刊介绍:
Acta Agriculturæ Scandinavica, Section A – Animal Science publishes results of original research in animal science and their applications related to the following topics:
-Animal breeding and genetics
-Molecular genetics
-Animal physiology and reproduction
-Nutrition and feeding
-Animal behaviour and welfare
-General animal husbandry and systems of production, including economic and technical aspects
-Hygiene and quality of animal products
In addition to original articles, covering basic as well as applied subjects, the journal features review articles and short communications.
Acta Agriculturæ Scandinavica, Section A – Animal Science forms part of a trilogy of titles published on behalf of the Nordic Association of Agricultural Scientists (NJF). The series also includes Section B - Soil & Plant Science and the recently launched Section C - Food Economics .
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica A, B and C are available to purchase as a combined subscription. This provides access to all three journals in the series, and is available to institutional subscribers only. For full pricing information, please view the Taylor & Francis Journals Price List here.
Scientists in research, teaching and extension with specialised interest in animal science and production.
