Treatment 1 had a highest amount of malondialdehyde (MDA), treatment 4 had no effect (P>0.05) on MDA . Storage time had an effect (P<0.05) on MDA levels, except for on Day1 and Day7. Day2 had the highest amount of MDA (0.7±0.08). The use of MOLM as an additive in broiler diets reduced lipid oxidation in meat, and maintained the quality of the broiler meat during storage. It also did not have any adverse effects on the growth performance of broilers. Therefore, it has the potential to be used as an additive in broiler diets.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 20:59:33 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11810 Wed 12 May 2021 20:07:51 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11823 Wed 12 May 2021 15:59:03 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11818 12months) and breeds were used. From the commercial abattoir, 90 castrates and 110 ewes were used, while 66 castrates and 19 ewes were obtained from the municipal abattoir. Meat samples were obtained to determine meat colour, ultimate pH, temperature, cooking loss and tenderness. Correlations between bleeding times and meat quality variables were also determined. The two abattoirs differed in terms of technology and the procedures used, and this brought about different response behaviours in sheep at slaughter, bleeding times at exsanguination and the quality of meat produced. Animal-related factors (breed, gender and age classes) had no effect on the avoidance-related behaviour of sheep slaughtered at the commercial abattoir, while these factors affected those sheep slaughtered at the municipal abattoir. These factors also had an effect on the quality of meat produced at both abattoirs. Gender and weight of the animals had effects on the bleeding times at exsanguination at both abattoirs. Bleeding times did no correlate with any of the meat quality variables, but correlations among meat quality variables were observed. Avoidance-related behaviour, bleeding times, and the quality of mutton from sheep slaughtered at a commercial and a municipal abattoir was affected by breed, age, and gender.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 04:49:31 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11807 Thu 13 May 2021 03:26:22 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11821 Thu 13 May 2021 00:00:21 SAST ]]>
