IntroductionGeese rearing in the Czech Republic has a long tradition. For intensive meat production hybrid geese are used in particular, Czech Goose has an importance especially in small farming.Geese have a rapid growth rate during the first weeks of life, they reach 70-80 % of adult weight at 9 weeks of age. Males exceed females in growth rate by more than 10 % up to age of 8 weeks (Tilki et al., 2005). Saatci et al. (2009) observed that sex influences also weight of carcass and its single parts are significantly higher in males. However, dressing percentage is higher in females. Live weight and carcass traits are affected by genotype as well (Isguzar and Pingel, 2003). Kapkowska et al. (2011) mentioned that hybrid geese have significantly higher live weight, carcass weight and dressing percentage than traditional breeds.The quality of poultry meat may be affected by numerous factors such as age, sex, breed, rearing and feeding system. Although meat quality characteristics of several poultry species have been investigated widely, reports on meat quality characteristics of geese are limited. Isguzar and Pingel (2003) observed different contents of protein and fat in various local Turkish breeds of geese. Study of Wężyk et al. (2003) showed significant differences in ash content between two hybrid geese strains. Liu et al. (2010) found out the effect of sex on water and protein content of geese meat.The aim of the study was to compare performance and meat composition between traditional breed Czech Goose and hybrid geese depending on sex. Material and methodsThe experiment was carried out on breed Czech Goose (CG) (20 males and 20 females) and hybrid combination Novohradska Goose (NG) (40 males and 40 females). One day old goslings were divided into 4 groups according to genotype and sex, weighed and housed in pens on litter (20 goslings per pen). Terms of fattening period met the usual requirements and gosling were fed complete feed mixtures, VH1 to the 4 weeks of age and VH2 until the end of fattening period which ran until 8 weeks of age of goslings. Weighing and the evidence of feed consumption was conducted weekly. Eight birds of each group were slaughtered at the age of 56 days on average weight of the group. After the slaughtering the abdominal fat was removed. The carcasses were weighed to obtain hot carcass weight and dressing percentage was calculated.Chemical composition of thigh meat was determined. Dry matter of meat was determined by drying in oven at 105 ºC and free fat content was obtained by extraction with petroleum ether in a Soxtec 1043 apparatus (FOS Tecator AB, Högänas, Sweden). Protein content in meat was determined using a Kjeltec Auto 1030 Analyser (FOS Tecator AB, Högänas, Sweden).

“…In this study, the results also reveal no significant effects on growth performance with 0.1% and 0.2% dried TS powder supplemented in the grower geese. Tilki et al (2005) indicated that the difference in live weight between the sexes became significant statistically at 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 weeks of age. Çelik and Bozkurt (2009) presented that the BW of geese, abdominal fat, hot and cold carcass and mean values of hot and cold carcass were higher in males than females.…”

Toona sinensis (TS) leaf is a well-known traditional oriental medicine herb. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro antioxidant capability and performance assessment of White Roman goose supplemented with dried TS leaves (TSL). The TSL extracts contained 22.23 ± 1.13 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight (DW) and 1.38 ± 0.06 mg quercetin equivalent/g DW of total phenolics and flavonoid contents. The scavenging action of 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical and superoxide anion was as good as that of the butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and ascorbic acid, respectively. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation of TSL extracts at 2.5 mg/mL reached nearly 40% compared with the BHT. One hundred and eight White Roman geese aged 6 weeks were distributed to six pens randomly, and fed a grower diet ad libitum during the growing period, with each pen containing nine males and nine females following completely randomized design. Diets were supplemented with the following levels of dried TSL: 0% (control), 0.1% or 0.2% groups for 6 weeks, respectively. The results revealed no significant effects among treatments in the growth performance, blood biochemical parameters and muscle fibre of the grower geese. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) content of the serum in the 0.2% TSL group was significantly higher than that of the control group. In conclusion, dried TSL powder has antioxidative effects in vitro and could serve as a promising natural feed additive to improve the serum SOD content of grower geese. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…T he data in the literature indicates that most of the studies about goose focus on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of different goose breeds (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). To our knowledge, compared to the other meat types, few studies have been conducted regarding goose meat microbiology and quality in Turkey and in other countries (9,10,13,(29)(30)(31)(32).…”

M icrobiological studies on chicken meat and carcasses are well documented, but very few studies exist on goose meat and carcasses. Therefore, in this study, dried goose carcass samples were collected from the local households in Kars/Turkey and microbiologically analyzed in terms of public health risks. The total mesophilic viable count was found to be 6.58 (mean log10 CFU g -1 ) (100%). The number of Enterobacteriaceae was 4.85 (92.8%). Coliform bacteria was counted at the numbers of 2.98 (67.8%), while it was 3.95 (91.1%) for the enterococci, 0.42 (26.7%) for the clostridia, 0.04 (3.5%) for the Clostridium perfringens, and 0.41 (12.5%) for the coagulase positive staphylococci. The numbers of mould and yeast were 0.93 (25%) and 4.81 (94.6%), respectively. Salmonellae and Bacillus cereus could not be isolated in the samples. The results indicate that the dried goose meat samples had poor hygienic quality, contained some of the pathogen microorganisms that are likely to pose a potential health risk.
