Comparison of chicken breast quality characteristics and metabolites due to different rearing environments and refrigerated storage.

ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study was to compare the breast meat quality and metabolomic characteristics from broilers that were raised in conventional (conventional farm reared-broilers; CB, n = 20) and legally approved animal welfare farms (welfare farm reared-broilers; WB, n = 20) in aerobic cold storage (1, 3, 5, and 7 d). Compared to CB chickens, the WB chickens had a larger floor size as well as lower stocking density, atmospheric ammonia, and nipple-shared chicken counts. The results demonstrated significantly higher pH, L^⁎- and b^⁎-value, and lower shear force in CB compared to WB during cold storage. Using ¹H NMR analysis, 25 compounds were identified in the chicken breast meat. Partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was performed base
