Aim: This study was carried out to investigate the physical meat quality
properties of young and spent female quail of different genetic
lines.
Materials and Methods: 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). Results: 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). Conclusion: In conclusion, black colored cross-line variety of quail and young birds had greater values of most meat quality characteristics than the other birds. |
