The effect of stocking density on carcass traits, muscle fibre properties and meat quality in rabbits

Original language description

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of stocking density on the biceps femoris (BF) muscle fibre properties, meat quality and carcass traits of Czech White rabbits. A total of 20 rabbits (40 d old, 10 rabbits per treatment, sex ratio 1/1) were reared in cages at different stocking densities (10 rabbits/m2 or 4 rabbits/m2) for 49 d. There were no significant differences between groups with regard to hot carcass weight (HCW) or dressing-out percentage. The proportions of both perirenal (9.5 vs. 15.9 g/kg HCW; P=0.010) and total dissectible fat (14.9 vs. 25.1 g/kg HCW; P=0.001) were lower in rabbits reared at the lower stocking density. No significant differences in ultimate pH values, meat colour or proximate composition were observed.The hind leg meat of rabbits reared at the lower stocking density contained significantly less lauric acid (4.6 vs. 6.7 mg/100 g of muscle; P=0.008), myristic acid (52.2 vs. 64.4 mg/100 g of muscle; P=0.033) and Docosahexaenoic acid (0.3
