[Qualitative indices of the meat of calves fed a diet containing heat-treated manure litter].

Experiments were carried out with a total of 48 male calves intended for fattening, divided into four groups that were equated in terms of breed, weight, and age. The basic ration of the first three (control) groups of calves was enriched with 30 per cent heat-treated manure litter. It was found that the supplement of such litter containing poultry feces had no unfavourable effect on the organoleptic indices of the meat obtained from the test calves. It was also established that the use of bird feces as a supplement to the ration of calves did not change the sanitary and hygiene condition of the veal obtained, neither had it any effect in changing the chemical composition and the technologic properties of meat.
