Food Additives
The effects of dietary supplements on the quality of frozen meat have been discussed previously; now, the focus is on meat additives. Phosphates have been used in poultry products to improve water retention, texture, color, flavor, as well as to control microbial contamination, growth, and to reduce freezing damage and protein denaturation. All treatments resulted in reduced drip loss and enhanced water-binding capabilities. Both sodium chloride and phosphates caused swelling due to electrostatic repulsion, allowing more water to be retained in the myofibril networks. It was concluded that treating chicken breasts with trisodium phosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate significantly reduced drip and cooking losses, as well as the formation of ice crystals and shrinkage from freezing of myofibrils.

Many veterinarians have questions about adenovirus, and I will address some of the most common inquiries regarding this topic, even if simply, so that everyone can understand what adenovirus is from my perspective.
How does adenovirus spread?
Adenovirus can be transmitted through eggs to the embryo, and antibodies (Ab) can also be transferred. The virus remains in a latent state in chicks (broilers) until the maternal antibodies are cleared from the body. The virus will then activate under certain conditions, such as toxin exposure or immunosuppressive diseases.
