| Abstract The effects of ractopamine and immunological castration on belly characteristics, processing yield, physicochemical and sensory quality of bacon were investigated from two crossbred pigs under different conditions of animal production, diet, management and slaughter arranged in factorial design using 2 ractopamine levels (0 and 7.5 ppm) and 3 genders (barrows, immunocastrated and gilts). Before processing, belly firmness, weight, length, width and thickness were measured, and then, bacon processing yield evaluated. After processing, bacon slices were digitally imaged and analyzed for lean meat and fat areas, pH, instrumental color of meat and fat, cooking loss and sensory quality. The ractopamine did not alter belly characteristics, but... |

| ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of anaerobic digestion and biogas production by manure from pig supplemented with ractopamine over different periods. We used manure of 50 finishing pigs according to the following diets: without supplementation and supplemented with 20-ppm ractopamine during 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days pre-slaughter. Continuous bench biodigesters were used in the experiment. We measured biogas production and made analyses of total (TS) and volatile solids (VS), pH, total phosphorus (total P), total nitrogen (total N) and ammoniacal nitrogen (ammoniacal N) in samples of manure, affluent and effluent from biodigesters. The pH and ammoniacal N as indicator parameters of the process balance and stability were satisfactory.... |
