1. The effect of supplementing pig diet with chestnut wood extract or hops on fresh meat and dry-cured productsUrška Tomažin, Martin Škrlep, Maja Prevolnik Povše, Nina Batorek Lukač, Danijel Karolyi, Matjaž Červek, Marjeta Čandek-Potokar, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: Oxidation is one of the major reasons for impaired quality of meat and meat products but can be prevented by the addition of antioxidants. In the present study, the effect of dietary sweet chestnut wood extract and hop cones on the quality and oxidative stability of meat and dry-cured products was investigated. Control pigs (N = 11) were fed a commercial diet (13.1 MJ metabolizable energy, 15.5% crude protein), while the other two experimental groups were supplemented with 3% of sweet chestnut wood extract (Tannin; N = 12) or 0.4% of hop cones (Hops; N = 11). The quality of meat and dry-cured products was evaluated by means of chemical composition, water holding capacity, objective color, and lipid and protein oxidation. No major effects of sweet chestnut wood extract or of hops supplementation were observed, nevertheless, some indications of improved water holding capacity could be attributed to antioxidants supplementation. The color evolution of dry-cured bellies from Tannin and Hops groups of pigs during refrigerated storage was also indicative of an improved oxidative stability.

2. The effect of dietary fibre content on skatole and indole production in faeces of immunocatrsted male pigsMartin Škrlep, Nina Batorek Lukač, Maja Prevolnik Povše, Urška Tomažin, Etienne Labussière, Marjeta Čandek-Potokar, 2015, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The effect of dietary fibre content on intestinal production of indolic compounds was studied in immunocastrated pigs (IC). In addition, entire males (EM) and IC were compared on control diet (with low fibre content). For the study 32 crossbred pigs were assigned, within a litter to 4 treatment groups; 24 pigs were immunocastrated (at the age of 77 and 112 days) and 8 pigs were kept as entire males (EM). IC were split into three groups (IC_H, IC_M and IC_L) fed three diets differing in crude fibre (34, 60 and 80 g/kg dry matter, respectively) and net energy (NE) (10.0, 9.3, 8.5 MJ NE/kg/DM, respectively). EM were fed high NE i.e. low fibre diet. The experiment started when pigs were 84 days old and finished at the age of 172 days, when pigs were sent to slaughter. Skatole and indole concentrations were determined in the samples of intestinal content taken from caecum (CE), ascending (AC) and descending colon (DC). The concentration of indole was the highest in CE and proximal part of the colon, while skatole concentration increased in the distal parts of the large intestine. Concentrations of indolic compounds did not differ between EM and IC that were fed the same diet. Lowering dietary NE by inclusion of high fibre ingredients reduced the production of indole in the intestinal content of IC pigs, whereas the production of skatole was not affected.

3. Vpliv vključevanja krmnih dodatkov z antioksidativnim potencialom na lastnosti kakovosti pršutaMartina Dobaj Gomboc, 2017, bachelor thesis/paper Abstract: V poskusu smo preučevali vpliv naravnih krmnih dodatkov z antioksidativnim potencialom na nekatere lastnosti kakovosti pršuta. V raziskavo smo vključili stegna 24 prašičev, ki so v končnem obdobju pitanja v krmo dobivali različne dodatke. Kontrolna skupina (n=6) je dobivala standardno krmo, namenjeno pitanju prašičev, ostale tri skupine pa so v standardni krmni obrok dobivale različne dodatke: vitamin E (125 IE α-tokoferola, n=6), tanin (3 % komercialnega pripravka Farmatan, n=6) ali hmelj (0,4 % hmelja; n=6). Pred začetkom postopka predelave v pršut smo izmerili nekatere lastnosti surovine (stegen), na končnih izdelkih (pršutih) pa smo določili barvo (L*a*b* v mišicah biceps femoris-BF, semimembranosus-SM in semitendinosus-ST ter maščobnem tkivu), reološke lastnosti (s testoma TPA in SR v mišicah BF in SM) in kemijsko sestavo (vsebnost vode, maščob, beljakovin, soli, nebeljakovinskega dušika in indeks proteolize v mišicah BF in SM). Z izjemo dveh lastnosti v poskusu nismo ugotovili pomembnejših razlik v barvi, teksturi in kemijski sestavi pršuta med preučevanimi skupinami. Pri taninski skupini smo ugotovili nekoliko višje vrednosti L* in b* v mišici SM, pri krmljenju z dodatkom vitamina E pa smo zabeležili večjo vsebnost intramuskularne maščobe. Preučevani krmni dodatki z antioksidativnim potencialom v izbranih koncentracijah niso vplivali na lastnosti kakovosti pršuta.
