| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> This study was carried out to investigate the physical meat quality
properties of young and spent female quail of different genetic
lines.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods: </b>A total of 80 random samples of fresh breast
and leg meat of young and spent female quails from four genetic
stock as pure line Paharaoh strain (Coturnix coturnix Pharaoh, wild
type), recessive white (white) variety of Pharaoh quail, the yellow
and black colored cross-line quails obtained by crossing Bob White
quail (Colinus virginianus) and Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix
Japonica).<p>
<b>Results:</b> There was significant effect of quail age on breast and leg
meat pH (p<0.008, p<0.001) and a significant genotype effect was
determined on leg meat pH (p<0.01). The water holding capacity of
breast meat was significantly affected by genetic stock and slaughter
age (p<0.001, p<0.019). The genetic stock had significant effects
on the lightness and chroma values of leg and breast meat of quail
(p<0.001, p<0.001).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> In conclusion, black colored cross-line variety of quail
and young birds had greater values of most meat quality characteristics
than the other birds. |
