| Abstract | ||
| This study was carried out at the poultry farm –Department of Animal Resources- College of Agriculture-University of Baghdad-Iraq from 2/ 10 / 2010 to 10 / 12 / 2010 , to investigate the effect of in ovo inoculation of hatching eggs with different levels of folic acid solution (0.25, 0.30 and0.35 µg /egg) on some of carcasses quality and sensory evaluation of broiler meat . When the folic acid injected eggs were hatched, chicks were raised till 49 days of age. The data obtained revealed the following: There were a significant decrease (p<0.05) in thawing loss, drips loss, cooking loss for meat . Water holding capacity (WHC) and sensory and phenotypic evaluation of meat was increased significantly(p<0.05) . There were no significant differences in carcass PH of meat between treatment. It can be concluded that injecting eggs hatching chicken meat with 0.35 µg /egg improve quality characteristics and sensory evaluation of meat. | ||
