- Effects of ractopamine hydrochloride and immunological castration in pigs. Part 2: belly quality characteristics and fatty acid composition Letícia Cristina COSTA E SILVA Roger Darros BARBOSA Expedito Tadeu Facco SILVEIRA Agrociencias Ractopamine fatty acids belly quality immunocastration The effects of immunocastration and ractopamine in the diet on the belly quality were investigated from two crossbred pigs under different conditions of production, diet, management, and slaughter arranged in factorial design using two levels of addition of ractopamine in the diet, 0 and 7.5 ppm, and three genders (gilts, immunocastrated and barrows). The quality of bellies were analyzed for chemical composition, pH, meat and fat color, backfat thickness and fatty acid profile of the fat. The addition of ractopamine showed no significant influence on pH, color and chemical composition in two crossbred pigs. The immunocastrated had thicker belly backfat compared to the bellies of the gilts. The contents of fatty acids polyunsaturated, linoleic, linoleic, arachidonic, total omega 3 and omega 6 were higher for immunocastrated pigs, as well as presenting values greater than 0.4 for the PUFA:SFA ratio, thus, providing bellies with better nutritional quality. The bellies of the gilts and immunocastrated pigs had higher concentrations of iodine value, indicative of higher unsaturated fat content. The results indicated that the addition of ractopamine and immunocastration had little influence on the quality of bellies as well as in their fatty acid profiles, suggesting the continuity of implementation of these techniques. 2017 artículo científico 0101-2061 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=395953031010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3959 Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.37
