“…The highest values for the AI were reported by Kucukgulmez et al (2018) [81] for two fish species from salty waters (AI = 1.22). The TI calculated for the studied catfish was lower in comparison with other freshwater fish species (carp TI = 0.63, trout TI = 0.49, and paddlefish TI = 0.39) [80,82], suggesting a possible lower tendency in consumers for blood clots formation. Comparatively analysing the data obtained in the current study, we observe the fact that fish from the RG had an 14.6% better AI in comparison with AG fish.…”

Quantitative and qualitative flesh production in the Silurus glanis species was comparatively studied between two fish groups: one from aquaculture (AG) and the other from a natural environment, the Prut River (RG). Morphometry was carried out on the fish, and then biometric and conformational indices were calculated. Better values were found in the aquaculture catfish. The Fulton coefficient was 0.82 in the Prut River fish and 0.91% in the farmed ones. The fleshy index reached 19.58% in the AG fish and 20.79% in the RG fish, suggesting better productive capabilities in the AG fish. Postslaughter, the flesh yield and its quality were assessed at different moments throughout the refrigeration period (0–15 days), and chemical compound loss occurred. In the AG samples, the water content decreased by 8.87%, proteins by 27.66%, and lipids by 29.58%. For the RG samples, the loss reached 8.59% in water, 25.16% in proteins, and 29%in lipids. By studying the fatty acids profile and sanogenic indices, good levels of PUFA (31–35%) were found, and the atherogenic index reached 0.35–0.41 while the thrombogenic index ranged between 0.22 and 0.27. Consequently, it can be stated that fish origin and especially the refrigeration period influence the flesh proximate composition and nutritional value of European catfish.

“…Rabbit meat meets the needs of consumers as a functional food [1] (rich in proteins balanced in essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), n-3 and n-6 fatty acids, easily bioavailable vitamins, and minerals) [1][2][3][4][5][6] for people who are increasingly concerned about health and nutrition. Rabbit meat provides multiple advantages for consumer health: absence of uric acid; small amounts of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and cholesterol [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]; high content of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and PUFA, with a protective role against cardiovascular diseases; and low cholesterol values [15,16]. Rabbit meat is highly appreciated for its excellent nutritional features, with lower fat, fewer saturated fats, and lower cholesterol levels compared to other commonly consumed meats [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]17].…”

The aim of this study was to represent quality characterization, by gender and muscle type, of rabbit meat from the Flemish Giant (FG) breed, following the fatty acid profile, sanogenic indices, and instrumental (color and texture) and sensory analysis. The biological material comprised 40 rabbits (20 females and 20 males) whose Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Semimembranosus (SM) muscles were sampled. Compared to female samples, the meat from males was more qualitative in terms of higher ratios of polyunsaturated vs. saturated fatty acids and proportions (+42%) of Essential and Desirable Fatty Acids (+21.6% EFA; +6.7% DFA). Also, the Atherogenic Index (AI) and Thrombogenic Index (TI) were better in males (−37.1% AI; −34.3% TI), as were the ratio of hypocholesterolemic/Hypercholesterolemic fatty acids (+27.8%) and the Nutritive Value Index (NVI, +11.6%). The Polyunsaturation Index (PI) was higher for females (+57.5%), with the widest differences in hind leg muscles (SM muscles), while the omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid ratio was also better (+11.3%). Female meat was more tender due to lower shear force (−6.2%… 9.3%) in both muscles. Female meat was less pigmented than that of males, while the overall sensory attributes were better scored in male samples (+3.1%… +7.1%) (p < 0.01). The meat of males proved to be more sanogenic (richer in EFA and DFA, with a better h/H ratio and NVI, while AI and TI were lower). We would recommend slaughtering 3–4 weeks earlier in females vs. males to avoid excessive fat deposition and, consequently, the development of unfavorable sanogenic indices for consumer health.

“…When stressors act for short periods, the adaptive response of fish is fast, and they have the ability to restore homeostasis. Diametrically opposite, their long-term maintenance (chronic stress) leads to the appearance of negative effects on the immune system, productivity and health of the livestock [3,4].…”

The general desire of the world's population is to eat as healthily as possible, an aspect that has a direct impact on the technological complex aimed at animals raising (proper breeding systems, microclimate factors with implications for the welfare of animals, etc.), as well as on the quality of the finished products that will enter the food supply. Therefore, the authors set out to study how the growth system influences the health status of rainbow trout raised in different systems. The observed experimental factors did not undergo significant changes. However, differences were generated by the applied growth system. For the amount of glucose in the blood, no statistically significant differences were identified between the groups. In contrast, comparison of the amount of glycogen led to obtaining very distinctly significant statistical fluctuations (the mean for P-si was 2.314±0.638 and for P-i 1.980±0.822). Growth hormone varied between 0.504±0.46 in the case of P-si and 0.694±0.22 ng/ml for P-i. The values obtained for cortisol showed a significant influence of stress factors on the studied trout. The general conclusion of the present study is that various technological factors influence the health status of livestock.
