Dietary Inclusion of Carob Pulp ( L.) Does Not Replace the Antioxidant Effect of Vitamin E in Lambs' Meat to Lengthen Shelf-Life.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of dietary carob pulp (Cp, L.) and vitamin E (Vit E) on the quality and shelf-life of light lamb meat stored for a maximum of 15 days under modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Forty-eight lambs (half females and half entire males, 25.

Reducing Dietary Protein Levels with Amino Acid Supplementation in Duroc Sire Line Finishing Pigs: Growth Performances, Carcass and Meat Traits and Nitrogen Balance in Males and Females.

Crude protein (CP) reduction and amino acid (AAs) supplementation is an interesting cost-reducing strategy for environmental compliance. The objective of this work is to study productive performances of heavy Duroc X (Landrace X Large white) male and female pigs during the finishing stage under a 2% CP reduction with crystalline AA supplementation. A total of 60 entire male and 60 female pigs (means ± standard deviations: 109 ± 4.

Impacts of carob pulp (Ceratonia siliqua L.) and vitamin E on pork colour, oxidative stability, lipid composition and microbial growth.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the dietary by-product rich in polyphenols (Carob pulp, Cp) and supra-nutritional level of vitamin (Vit) E on pork quality and shelf-life of meat stored in modified atmosphere packaging for 15 days. A total of 44 pigs (entire males and gilts, 170 ± 4.5 days of age and 127.

Productive, Physiological, and Environmental Implications of Reducing Crude Protein Content in Swine Diets: A Review.

Pig production is one of the most important providers of high-quality proteins and amino acids (AAs) to human nutrition. In this sector, feeding has an important economic and environmental impact. A strategy to reduce production costs and negative sustainability effects is reducing dietary crude protein (CP) contents with or without AA supplementation.
