As a result of continuous increase in poultry production and poultry breeding selection numerous forms of diseases appeared including the green muscle disease. The goal of the study was to determine the influence of the green muscle disease on quality of meat subjected to thermal processing. The material for the study consisted of 55 samples of the major pectoral muscles originating from female post-production turkeys and turkey broilers. The samples were subjected to organoleptic evaluation and tests aimed at determining the meat tenderness. On the basis of the results obtained it is concluded that the meat originating from turkeys suffering from the green muscle disease, subjected to thermal processing, shows significant differences in cross-section color, juiciness and taste.

The extraction of polysaccharides from wood by-products is recognized as a green re-utilization approach to shape a recycling-oriented society. In this research, we identified the structural properties of arabinogalactan (AG) extracted from Larix sibirica Ledeb wood chips and verified its efficacy as an additive in broiler framing. Results showed that the molecular weight of AG is 19.

The quality grade of cow meat is often lower than that of steer meat, resulting in economic losses and reduced consumer satisfaction. This review explores various strategies for improving the quality of cow meat, with a focus on slaughter and post-slaughter practices. Certain slaughter methods, including electrical stimulation and suspension techniques, have been shown to improve meat tenderness by alleviating rigor mortis and inducing an increase in sarcomere length.

Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extracts has emerged as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional methods, offering potential applications in biomedicine and environmental remediation. This study demonstrates the successful biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs) using Euphorbia acaulis leaf extract as a reducing and capping agent. The nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, HR-SEM, EDX, TEM, AFM, XRD, and FTIR analyses, confirming their successful synthesis and revealing their predominantly spherical morphology with sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nm.

The activin cascade is activated when a pair of extracellular ligand (Myoglianin, Myo; Activin β, Actβ; Dawdle, Daw) binds to two pairs of transforming growth factor β (TGF) serine-threonine receptor kinases, TGF-β type I (Baboon, Babo) and II receptors. However, the roles of activin way have not well been explored in non-Drosophilid insects. In the present paper, we compared the functions of Activin β (Actβ) ligand and receptor isoform BaboB in post-embryonic development in a defoliating ladybird Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata.

Electronic address:

During the long-term interaction between plants and phytophagous insects, plants generate diverse plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) to defend against insects, whereas insects persistently cause harm to plants by detoxifying PSMs. Xanthotoxin is an insect-resistant PSM that is widely found in plants. However, the understanding of detoxification mechanism of xanthotoxin in insects is still limited at present.
