ABSTRACT
White Italian WD-1 and Biłgorajskie geese fed different silages were studied. Compared with White Italian geese, the breast and thigh muscles’ percentages were higher by 1.63% and 0.47%, respectivelly, in Biłgorajskie geese, independently from silage. The chemical composition and functional properties of these muscles also showed their high quality. Irrespective of goose line, better percentage of leg muscles and significantly greater amounts of crude protein in breast and thigh muscles were found in geese fed the grass or red--clover silage.
