Study on meat productivity and quality of Lac Thuy and F1 hybrid (Lac Thuy x Luong Phuong) raising in Viet Yen – Bac Giang
To detemine meat productivity and quality of Lac Thuy chicken and F1 hybrid (LTxLP) raising Viet Yen district, Bac Giang province, the experiment was divided into 2 group, 30 heads (15 roosters and 15 hens) in each grroup in this experiment were slaughtered. The aim of the study is to determine the meat productivities and some indicators of meat quality of chicken types. The result showed that the carcass ratio of Lac Thuy chicken was lower than the figure for F1(LTxLP). In addition, the results included: the percentage of Lac Thuy chicken’s carcass was 66.91% and the fact of F1(LTxLP) was 68.48%; the percentages of the thigh meat and breast meat of Lac Thuy chicken and F1(LTxLP) were 20.94%; 16.61% and 21.33%; 17.84% respectively; The abdominal fat percentages of Lac Thuy chicken and F1(LTxLP) were respectively 0.86% and 1.17%. Meat quality parameters of both experimental groups such as pH value, processing loss, color, toughness were in good ranges and well suited to the tastes of localconsumers. Inconclusion, meat productivity and quality of Lac Thuy chicken and F1 hybrid (LTxLP) means that the difference is not statistically significant.
