Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of chemical composition and origin identification of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS)
TL;DR: NIRS prediction of chemical composition of sea bass fillets proved to be more accurate with fresh minced fillets than intact fillet portions and the merely slight improvement of NIRS accuracy with freeze-dried samples did not justify the latter treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding and meat quality in rabbits: a review
TL;DR: Fat addition to the diet, both as inclusion leve! and source, significantly affects carcass fatness and meat fatty acid composition, and the consequences are evident in the organoleptic appreciation of rabbit meat and also in its technological characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of postweaning feeding on the performance and energy balance of female rabbits at different physiological states
Gerolamo Xiccato,M. Bernardini,Cesare Castellini,A. Dalle Zotte,P. I. Queaque,Angela Trocino +5 more
TL;DR: Feeding young does a high-fiber diet until their first kindling reduced the chemical and energy body deficit at the end of the first lactation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy and protein utilization and partition in rabbit does concurrently pregnant and lactating
TL;DR: Changes in body composition during lactation in 40 primiparous rabbits were studied by comparative slaughter to determine the utilization of digestible energy (DE) and digestible protein (DP) and their partitioning between maternal body, milk and foetal tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: H and T fats are suitable sources of lipid in rabbit diets to replace soybean oil without any detrimental effect on growth performance, apparent digestibility, gut mucosa traits and health.
