Live body weight (BW), abdominal fat percentage and breast yield were measured in addition to meat pH at 15 min post-slaughter (pH15), ultimate pH (pHu), objective meat color at 24 h post-slaughter, and drip loss after 2 days of storage at 4°C, as described by Le Bihan-Duval et al. [ 6] (Hunterlab, Reston, VA 20190).
Tens of thousands were killed, massacres were reported — and this slaughter was the ultimate price of the camps, a price that is still being paid today by the Congolese people, who chafed under serial Rwandan occupations of their country, and continue now to be preyed upon by remnant Hutu Power forces.
Several meat quality traits [pH at 15 min post-slaughter (pH15) and ultimate pH (pHu), breast color-redness (BCo-R) and breast color-yellowness (BCo-Y)] were lower in HG chickens.
Perhaps it was the absence of a ritual slaughter that was the ultimate undoing of Shakhter Karagandy.
Pre-slaughter treatment significantly increased ultimate pH in both muscles (LL and SM) but did not affect significantly the rate of pH fall (pH40).
"If they wanted me at the ball park at 8 in the morning, I'd be there," Slaughter told Tom Wicker in "The Ultimate Baseball Book" (Houghton Mifflin, 1979).
For the wet markets of HKSAR, the ultimate goal is to go for central slaughtering with no more live chickens in retail markets.
The pigs slaughtered under the 'COL' conditions had a significantly higher ultimate pH in the LL and SM muscles than those slaughtered under the 'EXP' conditions.
"Many horses are transported live to the continent where their ultimate fate is unknown, but many may well be slaughtered.
Live body weight (BW), abdominal fat percentage and breast yield were measured in addition to ultimate meat pH, meat colour at 24 h post-slaughter, and drip loss after two days of storage at 2°C, as already described [ 2].
