| heal.abstract |
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary oregano essential oil supplementation on growth and breast meat quality of female broilers. Experimental groups consisted of controls (M, n-30) and two levels of supplemented diet (R1-100 mg kg-1, n = 30 and R2-250 mg kg-1, n = 30). Live weight and feed conversion ratio were not affected. There was a partial effect on the R2 group color, shear values and cooking loss at 9, 12 and 15 wk of age. A consumer panel failed to detect differences on the acceptance of samples. Different inclusion levels should be investigated, and interactions with rearing conditions and/or diets cannot be ignored. |
