“…The increase of creatine kinase during summer season may be attributed to exposure to heat temperature. According to Chai et al (2010), CK is released into the blood when there is muscle damage or when there is vigorous exercise. It is clear that some kinds of damage that affect welfare result in CK release.…”

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different seasons on blood biochemical parameters of male dromedary camels in Algeria. A total number of 30 clinically healthy camels from five to seven years old were sampled in this study and biochemical analysis were performed using an automatic analyzer. The obtained results showed that the urea, creatine kinase and alanine amino transferase concentrations increased significantly during summer compared to other seasons. However, lactate dehydrogenase concentration increased significantly during winter versus other seasons. On the other hand, no significant effect of season was found on glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, creatinine, aspartate amino transferase and alkaline phosphatase concentrations.

“…Current findings indicate that stocking density plays an important role in influencing carcass dressing-out percentage of transported goats. Chai et al (2010) emphasised greater stress conditions impose high-energy demand in transported animals. Animals lose body weight when subjected to greater energy demands (Warriss 1993).…”

There are limited studies on the effects of transportation stress and stocking density under tropical conditions and their interactions with aging and muscle types on carcass and meat quality characteristics of goat. The present study investigated the effects of transportation and stocking density on carcass characteristics and meat quality traits of Longissimus dorsi, and Semimembranosus muscles in Boer goats. Thirty 1-year-old Boer goats, divided into two groups, were transported by road for 3.5 h, with density of 0.4 m 2 and 0.2 m 2 per animal, respectively; a third group which was not transported served as control. Meat pH, drip loss, cooking loss, tenderness and colour were measured from samples of the muscles. The transported goats had significantly lower carcass shrinkage, glycogen content, drip loss, tenderness, lightness, yellowness, hue-angle and chroma values compared to the non-transported group. In contrast, they showed significantly higher cooking loss and redness than the non-transported goats. Goats transported in high stocking density showed significantly (p < .05) higher live weight loss and lower dressing-out percentage than those in low stocking density. This study indicated that higher stocking density at pre-slaughter transportation increased shrinkage loss and deteriorated meat quality of goats. Therefore, using an appropriate density during transportation should be considered. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Completely intact muscle tissue has low electrical conductivity values, which increase with the increase of fluids within the muscle (Byrne et al, 2000). Similarly, Chai et al (2010) reported that the main reason for the change in electrical conductivity is the movement of electrolytes between the intra-and extracellular compartments.…”

“…The significant relationships found between the previous parameters may have been due to the relationship between electrical properties and water-holding capacity. In fact, the electrical conductivity is a result of various degrees of damage to the cell membrane and the movement of electrolytes between intra-and extracellular compartments during postmortem glycolysis (Byrne et al, 2000;Chai et al, 2010).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of slaughter season on the postmortem metabolic characteristics of dromedary camel longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle. A total number of thirty male camels (5-7 years old) were included in this work. Ten camels were slaughtered according to season of the year (winter, spring and summer). The samples were analyzed for muscle pH, muscle temperature, electrical conductivity, drip loss (DL), cooking loss(CL) and thawing loss (TL). No significant (p> 0.05) effect of slaughter season on muscle pH and cooking loss was observed. However, slaughter season significantly (p< 0.05) influenced the electrical conductivity, muscle temperature, drip loss and thawing loss. All of these parameters were higher (p< 0.05) during summer as compared to winter and / or spring seasons. Moreover, several correlations between different studied parameters were reported. In conclusion, these findings indicated that slaughter season had a significant (p< 0.05) effect on several postmortem metabolic parameters of camels. Therefore, this study demonstrated that the electrical conductivity late postmortem measurement can be used as a suitable method for the evaluation of camel's meat quality.
