Abstract
The effect of freeze-dried bacteriocinogenic and probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium CCM7420 on the mineral content and carcass quality of rabbits was investigated. Significant increase in iron content in the carcass samples was recorded during the probiotic treatment, whereas the concentrations of calcium and copper decreased in the experimental groups compared with the Control. The treatment did not have a negative influence on the pH, colour, water-holding capacity, protein and fat contents or energetic value of the rabbit carcass. Inferring from the higher iron content we conclude that the diet supplementation with bacteriocinogenic and probiotic strain E. faecium CCM7420 may enhance the mineral quality of rabbit meat.
