TI  - Proximate Composition of Leg Meat of Slow and
Fast-Growing Broiler in Different Housing Systems
AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate the proximate composition of leg
meat of slow- and fast-growing male broilers raised in different housing
systems as conventional deep litter floor housing, indoor slatted floor housing, and indoor deep litter floor housing with range access (free-range).
After slaughter at 56 days of age, 10 leg muscle samples of each 6 treatment
group (2 × 3) were randomly selected and used to assess the meat quality properties. Compared to fast-growing chickens, slow-growing chicken
meat had less protein content and higher fat content (p < .003, p < .05).
There were significant differences in the water holding capacity of the meat
between the slow- and fast-growing broilers (p < .05). The moisture content
of the broiler meat produced from deep litter was found to be significantly
greater than those of slatted floor housing and free-range (p < .041). The
genotype × housing systems interaction for the fat content of leg meat of
broiler was significant (p < .044). In conclusion, it can be said that genotype
is more effective on proximate composition of broiler leg meat quality than
the housing system.
