Effects of paternal dietary Met on drip loss and shear force of male progeny 1, 2, 3.
| Items | Control | MET Group | SEM | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Breast drip loss (%) | 3.68 a | 3.47 b | 0.12 | * |
| Thigh drip loss (%) | 3.64 a | 2.71 b | 0.11 | ** |
| Breast shear force(g) | 3028.1 a | 2543.0 b | 56.0 | ** |
| Thigh shear force(g) | 1616.5 a | 1465.0 b | 76.8 | * |
1 Control group (0.28% Met), Methionine group (0.38% Met as 0.28% Met+0.1% coated Met). 2 The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM and n = 12. 3 where * represents p < 0.05, while ** is p < 0.01 and The lower cases (a/b) represent significant differences.
