Comparison of meat oxidative stability free-rearing and farm-rearing pheasants

(Phasianus colchicus). For experiment were used pheasants from two types of breeding. The first group came from free-rearing and it
was fed by a natural way and in the winter months were fed with wheat, maize and barley. For the experiment analysis were used from
free and farm-rearing 10 male of pheasants and 10 female of pheasants. The second group was created by pheasants, which came from
farm breeding from VPP Kolíňany farm, Žirany resort. The group of farm-rearing pheasants was reared in farm conditions until the time
of hunt (70 days). The pheasants were fed by special feed mixtures (BŽ1, BŽ2, BŽ3) intendent for fattening of pheasants. All pheasants
were caught on common hunting in Nitra area. The first meat analyzes were carried out 1 day after the pheasants hunting. Other samples
were analyzed after 6 months of freezing storage. The different contents of fat in breast muscle was significant (P0.05) between groups
farm-rearing and free-rearing and contents of fat was significant (P0.05) between male and female into group too. The contents of
malondialdehyde (MDA) in breast muscle was in range from 0.025 to 0.056 mg.kg-1
at the start of storage (1st day) and at the end of
storage (6th month) was in range from 0.113 to 0.197 mg.kg-1
. The significant differences (P0.05) in contents of MDA were between
male and female from farm-rearing in sixth month of storage. The significant differences (P0.05) in contents of MDA were between
group farm-rearing and free-rearing at the beginning and at ending of storage.
