Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Carcass Weight and Muscle on Texture, Structure, Rheological Properties and Myofibre Characteristics of Roe DeerJoanna Żochowska-Kujawska, Kazimierz Lachowicz, Małgorzata Sobczak, Leszek GajowieckiMyofibre characteristic, texture, structure and rheological properties of selected muscles (BF, SM and L) of roe deer of different carcass weight were compared. Muscle texture and rheological properties was determined with the TPA and relaxation test, respectively, performed with a Instron 1140 device. Fibre type percentage and structural elements (muscle fibre cross sectional area and perimysium thickness) were measured in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,579 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFermented Green Vegetable Soybean Meal Increases Dressed Carcass Meat and Bone Weight in Black-Boned Chickens (Fah Luang Chicken, Gallus gallus)Sukit Khantaprab, Buaream Maneewan, Tonglian Buwjoom et al.To use effectively waste green vegetable soyabean (edamame) and to improve the dressed carcass meat in black-boned chickens (Fah Luang chicken, Gallus gallus), fermented edamame meal was fed to black-boned chickens from 4 to 16 weeks of age. At 4 weeks of age, 20 birds (10 male and 10 female birds) were used to measure the initial weights of dressed … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 8,524 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the keywordsProductive and Biological Features of Kazakh Fine-Wool Sheep in the Conditions of the Almaty RegionKairat Alimgozhaevich Iskakov, Beibit Turganbekovich Kulatayev, Gulshad Makhambetovna Zhumagaliyeva, Pere Miquel Pares CasanovaKazakh fine-wool sheep bred in semiarid and desert zones of the Kazakhstan South-East are most widely spread in the Republic. However, most sheep do not satisfy the respective requirements of the breed in terms of productivity and especially reproductive capacity. Consequently, increasing the breeding performance and yield of commercial lambs is one of the most urgent issues in fine-wool sheep … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2017 · 8,261 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance and Duodenal Morphometry of 1-6 Week Old Kampung Chickens Supplemented With L-LeucineCharles Venirius Lisnahan, Steffanie Merlin Clyricia Noach, Lukas Pardosi, Theresia Nur Indah KoniThis study evaluated the effects of dietary L-leucine supplementation on growth performance and duodenal morphometry of Kampung chickens during the starter phase (1–6 weeks). A total of 600 one-week-old Kampung chickens were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments with six replicates of 20 birds each in a completely randomized design. The treatments consisted of a basal diet without L-leucine (T0) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2026 · 904 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Early Weaning on Performance, Health Parameters, and Carcass Traits of Bonsmara Bull Calves Under Feedlot ConditionsKgotso Patrick Matli, Thobela Louis Tyasi, Pieter FourieA feedlot is an intensive farming system used for finishing livestock. This study analyzed the performance, health, and carcass traits of Early-Weaned Calves (EWC) and Traditionally-Weaned Calves (TWC). A total of 285 Bonsmara bull calves were grouped into two weaning strategies, with 136 EWC (255±27.30 kg) and 149 TWC (308±24.60 kg). Backgrounding was followed by a finishing phase, with a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 14 Aug 2026 · 1,233 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPostnatal Muscle Growth and Allometry in Anatomical Regions of Russian Black-Pied Heifers and their Crosses With Hereford and Charolais Under Intensive RearingIvan Petrovich Prokhorov, Grigorii Sergeyevich Shekhovtsev, Yulia Vasilevna ShoshinaCrossbreeding dairy cattle with specialized beef breeds is an effective strategy to increase beef production, yet data on muscle growth patterns in crossbred heifers remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the growth intensity and redistribution of muscle mass in anatomical regions of carcasses in Russian Black-Pied heifers and their crosses with Hereford and Charolais breeds. A scientific experiment was … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 10 Aug 2026 · 920 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Dietary Isoleucine Supplementation on the Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics and Ileal Morphology of Native ChickensCharles Venirius Lisnahan, Oktovianus Rafael Nahak, Lukas PardosiThe roles of isoleucine in the protein synthesis, metabolisms, and growth of chicken have been widely reported. However, its effect on native chicken has not been previously reported. In this work, we reported the effects of dietary isoleucine supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and ileal morphology in native chickens during the grower phase (6-12 weeks). Two hundred native chickens … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2025 · 2,940 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Protein and Energy Levels at 3200 m Altitude for Slow-Growing ChickensMariela Ketty Meza-Morveli, Liz Beatriz Chino-Velasquez, Jesús Camero DeLaCuba et al.The extent to which energy and protein (CP) levels can be reduced without impacting productivity in slow-growing chickens remains undetermined. The treatments were conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary CP (17.5, 19, and 20.5%) and energy (2850-2950 kcal ME/kg) on slow-growing chickens using an ideal protein concept at a high altitude (3200 m). We used a total of 144 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2024 · 5,275 accessesView PDF Cite
