Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics and Meat Quality of Griller-Type Br...
Barbosa Filho,JA; Almeida,M; Shimokomaki,M; Pinheiro,JW; Silva,CA; Michelan Filho,T; Bueno,FR; Oba,AABSTRACT Griller-type chickens are broilers slaughtered between27and 29 days old weighing 1.3 to 1.5 kg and sold as a whole carcasses. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of female broilers of four genetic lines reared for the production of griller-type chickens. A total of 960 broiler chicks was allotted in a randomized block design with four tr...

Leonel,FR; Oba,A; Pelicano,ERL; Zeola,NMBL; Boiago,MM; Scatolini,AM; Lima,TMA; Souza,PA; Souza,HBAThe effects of vitamin E supplementation (300 mg/kg diet) in the diet of broiler chickens for different periods during rearing on the performance and qualitative traits of breast and leg muscles were evaluated. Seven hundred and twenty day-old chicks were distributed into six treatments: basal diet (25 mg vitamin E/kg diet), and diet supplemented with vitamin E from 1 to 15, 1 to 30, 1 to 45, 14 to 45 and 30 to...
Effect of deboning time on the quality of broiler breast meat (Pectoralis major)
Souza,PA; Kodawara,LM; Pelicano,ERL; Souza,HBA; Oba,A; Leonel,FR; Norkus,EA; Lima,TMAThe present study evaluated the effect of different deboning times on the quality of broiler breast meat. Seventy-two broiler breasts were evaluated. They were distributed in a completely randomized experimental design, with six treatments, six repetitions and two birds per parcel. The treatments were denominated as follows: A - deboning immediately after chilling, B - deboning 1 h after chilling, C - deboning ...

Pelicano,ERL; Souza,PA; Souza,HBA; Oba,A; Boiago,MM; Zeola,NMBL; Scatolini,AM; Bertanha,VA; Lima,TMAThis study evaluated the use of different probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics on the quality of carcasses and meat of broiler chickens. One hundred and eight day-old Cobb male broilers were used (n=108) in a completely randomized design according to a 3x3 factorial, with 3 probiotics in the diet (no probiotics, probiotics 1, probiotics 2) and 3 prebiotics in the diet (no prebiotics, prebiotics 1, prebiotics 2...
Performance of broilers fed diets containing natural growth promoters
Pelicano,ERL; Souza,PA; Souza,HBA; Oba,A; Norkus,EA; Kodawara,LM; Lima,TMAThe present study evaluated the effect of different probiotics on the performance of broiler chickens. A thousand and fifty one-day-old male Cobb chicks were distributed in a completely randomized design in a 3 x 2 + 1 factorial arrangement (3 probiotics sources in the diet, 2 probiotics concentrations in drinking water and 1 control group), with 5 repetitions of 30 birds per parcel. The results showed better f...
Effect of different probiotics on broiler carcass and meat quality
Pelicano,ERL; Souza,PA de; Souza,HBA de; Oba,A; Norkus,EA; Kodawara,LM; Lima,TMA deThe present work evaluated the effect of different probiotics on carcass and meat quality of broilers. One thousand and fifty male Cobb chicks were distributed at one day of age in a randomized design with 3 x 2 + 1 factorial arrangement (3 probiotics, 2 levels of probiotics in drinking water and 1 negative control group), using 5 replications with 30 birds. Carcass yield was higher (p<0.05) in control birds. N...
