    This study investigated the effects of age and sex on carcass and meat characteristics of one of Thailand’s major indigenous chicken breeds, the white-tailed yellow native chicken (NC). A total of 120 one-day-old NC (60 males and 60 females) were raised, and harvested at either 16, 20 or 24 weeks. The results showed that body, carcass, breast and fillet weights did not differ (P > 0.05) between 16- and 20-week-old NC, but were lower (P < 0.05) than those of 24-week-old NC. Male NC had higher (P < 0.05) body, carcass, wing, back and thigh weights than female NC. Neither sex nor age affected muscle pH, sarcomere length, redness and yellowness, guanosine monophosphate, and hypoxanthine. The interaction between age and sex was significant (P < 0.05) for %dressing, %leg, L*, C14:1, C18:1n9 and C20:4n6. Shear force was lower in 16-week-old NC (P < 0.05). The 24-week-old NC had lower (P < 0.05) C13:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:2n6t, C20:4n6, C22:6n-3, intramuscular fat and inosine 5’-monophosphate levels and higher (P < 0.05) C18:2n6c, C18:3n-3 and C20:3n-6 levels than the 16- and 20-week-old NC. Male NC had higher (P < 0.05) C13:0-, C14:0-, C18:2n6t-, C20:3n-6- and lower inosine levels than female NC. In conclusion, these data highlight age- and sex-specific differences in carcass and meat quality of NC and provide relevant information to support consumer-oriented decisions on the production, processing and nutritional value of NC.

    In this study, chemical composition, fatty acids, collagen solubility, calpains, and troponin T degradation were investigated in various muscles of native Thai cattle (NTC). Five muscles, namely Bicep femoris, Infraspinatus, Longissimus thoracis, Supraspinatus and Semimembranosus were sampled from five Kho Isaan bulls. Moisture content of Longissimus thoracis was lower (p < 0.05) than others. Protein content of Longissimus thoracis, Bicep femoris and Semimembranosus was higher (p < 0.05) than that of Infraspinatus and Supraspinatus. Infraspinatus and Longissimus thoracis had higher fat content (p < 0.05) than Bicep femoris and Semimembranosus. Muscle pH, color, and drip loss did not differ between muscles. Semimembranosus and Supraspinatus showed higher cook loss (p < 0.05) than Infraspinatus and Longissimus thoracis. Infraspinatus had the lowest Warner–Bratzler shear force (p < 0.05). Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus and Bicep femoris had higher (p < 0.05) soluble, insoluble and total collagen content than Semimembranosus and Longissimus thoracis. Infraspinatus had higher collagen solubility than Semimembranosus and Supraspinatus. Collagen content and solubility were not affected by ageing time. The relative band intensities of intact troponin T and its degradation product at 2- and 14-days postmortem were higher in Longissimus thoracis than in other muscles. Infraspinatus and Supraspinatus had significantly higher expression of m-calpain and calpastatin genes than Longissimus thoracis, Bicep femoris, and Semimembranosus. Total fatty acid was higher while the percentage of C22:6n-3 was lower in Infraspinatus and Longissimus thoracis (p < 0.05) than in other muscles. These results show differences in specific nutritional, technological and eating quality characteristics of NTC muscles and thus provide information for optimizing storage and processing conditions for various NTC muscles.
