A Survey on the Effect of Livestock Production System and Finishing Diet on Sensory Characteristics of Foal Meat Using Generalized Procrustes Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The influence of livestock production system [Freedom Extensive System (FES) versus Semi-Extensive System (SES)] and finishing feed (1.5 kg versus 3.0 kg of commercial feed in the finishing period) diet on sensory properties of foal meat using Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA) was studied. For this work, a total of 24 foals (8 from FES and 16 from SES) were used. Samples were evaluated by eight panelists for eight sensory attributes: colour, marbling, odour intensity, sweetness, springiness, hardness, chewiness, and juiciness. Data were analyzed using a GPA to minimize differences among testers. Highly appreciated sensory properties (odour intensity, red colour, marbling, and juiciness) were mostly associated with foals from the Semi-Extensive System. On the other hand, the three groups studied (FES, 1.5SES, and 3SES) were clearly recognized by panelists on the consensus configuration and they were clearly separated on the map. This study concluded that sensory characteristics of foal meat from a Semi-Extensive Production System with a finishing diet of 3 kg concentrate were more preferable than the other ones.

Project description:Meat quality and carcass characteristics have gained the attention of breeders due to their increasing economic value. Thus, this study investigated the genomic prediction efficiencies of genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) and single-step GBLUP (ssGBLUP) for traits associated with meat quality, sensory characteristics, and fatty-acid composition. A total of 1237 Duroc finishing pigs with 654 individuals genotyped using the Illumina Porcine SNP 60k marker panel were used in this study. Prediction accuracy and bias for GBLUP and ssGBLUP were evaluated using a five-replicates of five-fold cross-validation. Estimation of genetic parameters for traits associated with meat quality, including lightness, yellowness, redness, pH at 24 h post-mortem, moisture content, fat content, water-holding capacity, cooking loss except for shear force (0.19), as well as fatty-acid composition (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic fatty acids), revealed moderate to high heritability estimates ranging from 0.25 to 0.72 and 0.27 to 0.50, respectively, whereas all traits related to sensory characteristics (color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and palatability) showed low heritability estimates ranging from 0.08 to 0.14. Meanwhile, assessment of genomic prediction accuracy revealed that ssGBLUP exhibited higher prediction accuracy than GBLUP for meat quality traits, fatty-acid composition, and sensory characteristics, with percentage improvements ranging from 1.90% to 56.07%, 0.73% to 23.21%, and 0.88% to 11.85%, respectively. In terms of prediction bias, ssGBLUP showed less bias estimates than GBLUP for the majority of traits related to meat quality traits, sensory characteristics, and fatty-acid composition of Duroc meat. In this study, ssGBLUP outperformed GBLUP in terms of prediction accuracy and bias for the majority of traits. Through selection and breeding, our findings could be used to promote meat production with improved nutritional value.

Project description:This study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary inclusion of 20% rapeseed meal (RSM) as an alternative to soybean meal (SBM) in a three-month feeding experiment with growing finishing pigs. Dietary alteration affected growth performance, several carcass traits and transcriptional responses in the skeletal muscle, but did not affect measured meat quality traits. In general, pigs fed the RSM test diet exhibited reduced growth performance compared to pigs on SBM control diet. Significant transcriptional changes in the skeletal muscle of growing pigs fed RSM diet were likely the consequence of an increased amount of fiber and higher polyunsaturated fatty acids, and presence of bioactive phytochemicals, such as glucosinolates. RNAseq pipeline using Tophat2-Cuffdiff identified 57 upregulated and 63 downregulated genes in RSM compared to SBM pigs. Significantly enriched among downregulated pathways was p53-mediated signalling involved in cellular proliferation, while activation of negative growth regulators (IER5, KLF10, BTG2, KLF11, RETREG1, PRUNE2) in RSM fed pigs provided further evidence for reduced proliferation and increased cellular death, in accordance with the observed reduction in performance traits. Upregulation of well-known metabolic controllers (PDK4, UCP3, ESRRG and ESRRB), involved in energy homeostasis (glucose and lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial function), suggested less available energy and nutrients in RSM pigs. Furthermore, several genes supported more pronounced proteolysis (ABTB1, OTUD1, PADI2, SPP1) and reduced protein synthesis (THBS1, HSF4, AP1S2) in RSM muscle tissue. In parallel, higher levels of NR4A3, PDK4 and FGF21, and a drop in adropin, ELOVL6 and CIDEC/FSP27 indicated increased lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation, reflective of lower dressing percentage. Finally, pigs exposed to RSM showed greater expression level of genes responsive to oxidative stress, indicated by upregulation of GPX1, GPX2, and TXNIP.
