The effects of a feeding program combining thymol–carvacrol and organic acids were evaluated as an alternative to an antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) in broilers under a coccidial challenge. A total of 750 male Ross 308 chicks were assigned to a negative control (T1), an AGP group with bacitracin methylene disalicylate (T2), or a thymol-carvacrol–organic acid group (T3). Slaughter weight, dressing percentage, retail cut yields, and meat quality traits did not differ among treatments (P > 0.05). T2 had the highest number of birds without foot pad lesions, significantly exceeding T1 and comparable to T3, which also outperformed T1 (P < 0.05). T2 recorded the fewest mild and severe lesions, while T3 showed a numerical reduction in severe lesions compared with T1. Both T2 and T3 reduced lesion severity relative to T1, with T2 showing the most favorable scores and T3 demonstrating meaningful potential as a non-antibiotic alternative. Thigh meat malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased during storage (P < 0.01), but no treatment effects were observed (P > 0.05). Serum MDA and the proportions of lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils were unaffected; however, heterophil percentage and the heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were significantly higher in T1 than in T2 and T3 (P < 0.01), indicating reduced physiological stress with both AGP and thymol-carvacrol–organic acid supplementation. Overall, thymol–carvacrol with organic acids-maintained carcass yield and meat quality while mitigating stress responses and improving foot pad health, supporting its potential as a viable alternative to AGPs in broilers under enteric challenge.

Gender of dairy cattle did not influence all studied traits (P>0.05). Age at slaughter did not influence the most meat traits, except L* value (P<0.05). Meat from the oldest animals, 5 yr old, exhibited significantly lower L* value than the younger animals, 2, and 3 yr old (P<0.05). Marbling score significantly affected traits (P<0.05), except pH, a* and b* color values (P>0.05). The muscle obtained higher marbling scores had more dry matter and ether extracted (intramuscular fat content). Increased marbling score was related to decrease shear force. The lightness of muscle with the highest marbling score had the highest mean L* =52.8. There was strongly positive correlated between %DM and %EE (r= 0.91, P<0.01). The positive relationships between %EE, and L* and b* were found. Shear force was positively correlated with cooking loss (P<0.01), but it was negatively related to L* (P<0.01).

The effects of strain and gender on production performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of broiler chickens were examined. There were no significant interactions between broiler strain and gender (P>0.05). Arbor Acres showed significantly higher body weight (BW) and average daily gain (ADG), while feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were significantly lower than Ross308 and Cobb500, especially in the fifth and sixth weeks of age. Arbor Acres also showed the highest slaughter weight (P<0.05). However, carcass composition was not significantly different between strains. There were no significant differences between the strains in muscle pH, drip loss and cooking loss. However, Cobb500 had a lower shear force value than the others (P<0.05). As for the gender-specific effect, BW and ADG of male broilers were higher than those of females from the second to the sixth week of age (P<0.01). At the second week of age, female broilers had higher FI, while male broilers had higher FI from the third to the sixth week of age (P<0.01). Male broilers had lower FCR than females from the fourth to the sixth week of age (P<0.01). Male broilers had higher slaughter weight, carcass weight and carcass composition weight (P<0.01) except for abdominal fat (P>0.05). Percent carcass composition did not differ among broiler strains except for percent tenderloin and percent abdominal fat, which were higher in females than males (P<0.01). Broiler strains had no effect on meat quality except that Cobb500 had lower shear force (P<0.05). The pH3, pH24 and yellowness color values had differed between genders, which male muscle had higher pH3 (P<0.05), pH24 (P<0.01) than female but female muscle had higher yellowness value than male (P<0.05). Interaction effect between breed and gender was found in lightness (P<0.01) and redness colors (P<0.05).

The chemical composition, fatty acid profile, cholesterol, and ribonucleotide content of longissimus thoracis muscle from Charolaise crossbred steers fattened for 12 and 15 months were investigated. Chemical composition did not differ between the two fattening periods. Fat content was 4.38 and 4.66 %, moisture content 72.79 and 71.14 %, ash content 1.24 and 1.23 %, and protein content 23.60 and 23.73 % for fattening periods of 12 and 15 months, respectively. Fatty acid composition was not affected by fattening period, except that C15:0 content was higher in steers fattened for 12 months than in steers fattened for 15 months (P < 0.05). There was no effect of fattening period on cholesterol content (P > 0.05). As for the effect of fattening period on ribonucleotide content, only guanosine monophosphate (GMP) of steers fattened for 12 months was significantly higher than those of steers fattened for 15 months (P < 0.05).

The effects of guanidinoacteic acid (GAA) supplementation on productive performance, pectoral myopathies, and meat quality of broilers were studied. Treatments consisted of corn/soybean-based diets with a GAA supplement (0%, 0.06%, and 0.12%). A total of 546 one-day-old Ross-308 males were randomly allocated to 42 floor pens with 14 replicates (13 birds/pens) for each treatment. The results showed that GAA at doses of 0.06% and 0.12% improved feed conversion, increased the percentage of normal breast, and decreased the severity of wooden breast. Breast muscle myopathy severity was positively correlated with heavy birds and negatively correlated with breast muscle creatine and glycogen. Breast muscle creatine and glycogen correlated positively with normal, less severe pectoral myopathies and meat quality. In conclusion, GAA supplementation improved broiler performance without exacerbating pectoral myopathy or affecting meat quality.

Results showed that the initial weight did not differ between groups (P>0.05). While, the 15 month group had more heavy weight than 12 month group (P<0.01). Furthermore, the 15 month group gained more weight than 12 month group (P<0.05). The average daily gain of 15 month group was higher than 12 month group (P<0.01) which were 723.62 and 603.30 gram/day, respectively. The weight of hot and cold carcass of 15 month group was higher than 12 month group (P<0.01) while the percentage of hot and cold carcass did not differ between group (P>0.05). For carcass composition, lean percentage (P<0.01) and bone percentage (P<0.05) were higher in 15 month group than in 12 month. Meat color, shrinkage loss, cooking loss, and shear force did not affect by fattening period (P>0.05). In addition the fattening period did not impact on collagen content and also collagen solubility (P>0.05).

Carcass and meat quality traits of commercial crossbred pigs which came from two Duroc sire lines were investigated. New and old Duroc sire lines were used to produce threeway cross-bred commercial finishing pigs (Duroc x Large White x Landrace). Five castrated male and five female pigs from each pig sire line were selected and slaughtered. The carcass and meat quality traits were measured and analysed. The offsprings from imported Duroc sire line had significantly lower cold carcass percentage and body fat percentage, but significantly higher bone percentage than those from in-country herd Duroc sire line. There was not significantly difference in meat quality traits between two sire lines. Castrated male pigs had higher marbling score than females.
