Mexican orégano ( Lippia berlandieri Schauer) oil on turkey slaughter quality
ABSTRACT: The quality of slaughtered turkeys fed a diet supplemented with Mexican orégano (Lippia berlandieri Schauer) oil was investigated. Two treatments were studied. T0: control diet and TI: control diet + 400 mg kg-1 of orégano oil with 60 % carvacrol. Live weight at slaughter was different, with T0 weighing 11.0 kg and TI 11.89 kg, while the performance of feathers and drumstick was higher in T0 (4.33 and 3.18 % respectively). Viscera, blood, head, neck and hot and coid carcass yield did not differ between treatments (p > 0.05). Orégano oil at 400 mg kg-1 can be used in the production of turkeys to influence slaughter quality.
