No full textSummary
In recent years, the consumer expects from the food specific characteristics such as nutritional value, health, genuineness. Therefore, livestock production must be made taking into account environmental protection, animal welfare and human health. In farming techniques should be used to reduce air pollution, water and soil, while, on the strategies adopted, particularly foodstuffs, are aimed at tracing, security and quality of products of animal origin. Between those products, the meat is a major animal husbandry production and it plays an important role as food. The consumption of red meat, however, fell because of its high content in saturated fatty acids that are considered harmful to human health. In light of the recent development of the market for so-called "functional food" or functional foods, rich or "enriched" by biologically active components that are able to optimize the physical and mental well-being and to reduce the risk of contracting diseases, were conducted several studies in order to change the composition of acid intramuscular fat meat and then make that product a food "functional"

No full textThe aim of the study was to estimate the influence of artificial rearing and of the addition of polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFA) to an acidified milk replacer on the productive performances and on the quanti-qualitative characteristics of the
carcass. Fifty one twin-born Gentile di Puglia lambs were subdivided into three homogenous groups (9 females and 8
males) assigned the following feeding treatments: maternal milk (MM); acidified milk replacer (MR); acidified milk replacer
+ 10 ml/l of a mixture of linseed and fish oil rich in PUFA (MR+PUFA).
Milk consumptions and live weights were recorded weekly. Seven males from each group were slaughtered at 45 days of
age and the net warm dressing percentage, the composition of the carcass and the colorimetric characteristics of the
Longissimus lumborum muscle were estimated. Artificial rearing improved the daily weight gain (0.182-0.172 vs 0.128
Kg; P<0.01) of lambs, provided fatter carcasses and meat with a better red index (6.16-6.43 vs 8.03; P<0.01).
The addition of omega-3 fatty acids to the diet did not influence the weight gain, the feed conversion index, the net warm
dressing percentage and the incidence of the different meat cuts of the half carcass. However, it significantly increased
the half carcass length (37.86 vs 35.0 cm; P<0.05), the thoracic depth (19.71 vs 16.50 cm; P<0.01) while, it compared
to the MR group reduced the proportion of lean (63.21 vs 53.98 %; P<0.01) in favour of bone (20.94 vs 29.40 %;
P<0.01) in the lumbar region
