The study was carried out with 40 pheasants in order to study the effect of the nutritional additive OVOCAP on the physicochemical composition and the adiposite size in m. Pectoralis and m. Biceps femoris. The birds were treated 4 times with OVOCAP. The dozes of the additive were 0.250 ml and 0.500 ml per bird respectively for the first and the second experimental group. The studied characteristics were as follows: pH 24 h post mortem, water-holding capacity, muscle colour, myoglobin, protein and fat content. Higher value of pH 24 h post mortem was found in m. Pectoralis of the female pheasants treated with lower doze of the additive. No effect of the additive on this trait was found in m. Biceps femoris. The nutritional additive OVOCAP has the highest influence on the muscle colour in the pheasants from the first experimental group-significantly brighter in the males (P0.100) and females (P0.05).
