Increased redness in turkey breast muscle induced by fusarial culture materials
1994
Wu, W. | Jérome, D. | Nagaraj, R.
Short-term feeding trials with experimentally moldy rice (10% of diet) or corn (12.5%) were carried out on turkey poults to screen for toxigenic Fusarium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus, which were recovered from corn or commercial turkey feed. A major finding was that culture materials of some fusaria increased the redness of turkey breast muscle without causing obvious hemorrhages either in the musculature or in the internal organs. Corn culture but not rice culture of Fusarium moniliforme (M-1325) depressed body weight gains, feed utilization, and heart weights (P = .01). The increased redness (reddish discoloration) could lead to the depreciation of fresh turkey muscle product.
