Analysis of the meat quality and basic muscle nutrient content of the hybrid F1 generation from Red Jungle Fowl (Gallus gallus) and Gallus domesticus.

The meat quality and basic muscle nutrient content of the F1 generation from Red Jungle Fowl(Gallus gallus)(male) and Red Jungle Fowl(female),Chahua chicken(female),green ear silkies(female) or Chuxiong Ma chicken(female) were studied.The results showed that at 45min post-slaughter,pH values of breast muscle and leg muscle of the F1 generation from Gallus gallus and Gallus gallus were significantly lower than that of three cross combinations of Gallus gallus(male)(P0.05),and decreased quickly at 24h post-slaughter.The water-holdingcapacity,drip loss,cook loss,diameter of myofiber of breast muscle and leg muscle of different groups were most significant different(P0.05).Water content of breast muscle and leg muscle,crude protein contents of breast muscle of different groups were not significant different(P0.05).Leg muscles crude protein content of the jungle fowl and F1 hybrids camellia chi-cken,jungle fowl purebred significantly higher than that of the two F1 groups(P0.05).Content of crude fat of chest muscle and leg muscle and the ash content showed significant differencesamong different groups(P0.05).It also showed that meat quality and basic muscle nutrient content of the F1 generation from Gallus gallus and Chahua chicken was the best among three cross combinations of Gallus gallus(male),while that of the combinations of Gallus gallus(male) and Chuxiong Ma chicken(female) was the worst.
