Carcass Characteristics and Physical Meat Quality Properties of Spent Broiler Breeder Hens and Commercial Spent Layer Hens

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the carcass characteristics and physical meat quality properties of spent broiler breeder, commercial spent white, and commercial spent brown layer hens. Ten samples from each genotype were analyzed for muscle pH, meat colour characteristics, and carcass yield performance. Meat colour analyses were performed on skinned and skinless breast and thigh meat samples, while meat pH was measured on skinned meat samples. The percentage of the breast meat of carcass was significantly higher for broiler breeder hens than for white and brown layer hens (P<0.001), while wing meat percentage was significantly lower for these birds (P<0.005). There were significant differences in the lightness value of skinned layer breast meat (P<0.016). Skinned redness (P<0.001), skinned chroma (P<0.001), skinless lightness (P<0.001), and skinless chroma (P<0.002) values of thigh meat were significantly affected by the genotype of spent layer hens. The spent breeder hens had significantly lower pH levels for leg and breast meat (P<0.001). In conclusion, it seems that the carcass and meat quality characteristics of the spent laying hens differed. The spent layer meat might be an alternative meat for consumer as breast and leg meat or processed meat.
