Developing innovative technology to produce high-quality meat from pigs fed feed enriched with omega-3 fatty acids and quercetin from waste onions

Description

technology to produce high-quality meat from pigs

Sector

A1.4Animal production

Needs/ Problem statement

Pork meat is a valuable product rich in protein, iron, zinc and B vitamins (especially thiamine) and PP. At the same time, attention is drawn to the need to change the unfavorable profile of fatty acids in this product. Studies have shown that the addition of flaxseed pomace to feed increases the proportion of omega-3 acids in meat and improves the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 acids. The project will provide guidelines for potential recipients of the designed preparation for enriching feeds based on flax pomace, husk and waste onion.

Objective

The main objective of the operation will be to develop an innovative technology for the production of high-quality meat from pigs fed with fodder enriched with omega-3 acids and quercetin from waste onions. As a result of the works, pork meat of high functional and sensory quality will be produced. The use of fruit pomace preparations, onion husks and waste onions will allow for increased efficiency of binding quercetin in the muscles and to obtain high oxidative stability of essential fatty acids and thiamine contained in the raw material.
