THE EFFECT OF AGE, GENOTYPE AND SEX ON MEAT QUALITY OF BROILER CHICKENS.

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of age, genotype and sex on the chemical composition and physico-chemical and sensory properties of breast muscles in broiler chickens. No significant effect was observed of theses variables on chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of chicken meat. Only meat juiciness decreased with age of bird. Meat of female chickens had less fat and more total protein, water-soluble protein and non-protein nitrogen compared to X hybrids, whereas meat of the latter had higher pH1 and pHu values, was lighter, and showed higher water holding capacity and higher thermal shrinkage.
