Effect of muscle fiber characteristics on meat quality in fast- and slow-growing ducks by Weiran Huo, Kaiqi Weng, Tiantian Gu, Yu Zhang, Yang Zhang, Guohong Chen, Qi Xu

“…Three duck breeds at typical market ages were selected and slaughtered, including fast-growing ducks (Cherry Valley duck) and slow-growing ducks (Small-sized Beijing duck and Liancheng White duck). M. pectoralis major (PM), m. soleus (SOL), m. gastrocnemius (GAS) and m. extensor digitorum longus (EDL) were used to assess muscle fiber characteristics as well as meat quality properties. …”

Stressor disorders of morphological indicators of bloods of ducks in critical periods of ontogenesis by A. O. Krogh, V. G. Stoyanovsky

“…Research subject clinically healthy young Beijing duck meat breed performance direction. Changes in hematological parameters of ducks' blood reflect a picture of the impact of critical periods of ontogeny on ducks, characterized by 2 days of life, the numerical values of erythrocytes (2.45 ± 0.11 T/l) and the concentration of hemoglobin (102.90 ± 3.51 g/l), but the value of hematocrit was in the lower levels of physiological norms. …”
