The study was carried out to investigate the carcass and meat quality traits and nutritional
profile of the meat of the Kadaknath, a unique native chicken breed in comparison with commercial
broilers. The yield of the carcass, breast and giblets of the Kadaknath was lesser (p < 0.01), while that
of the legs, wings, back, and neck was higher (p < 0.01) than broilers. The meat of the Kadaknath was
significantly (p < 0.0001) darker (42.44, 50.92) and more yellow (6.23, 8.99) than broilers. The decline
in pH of the meat was lower (p < 0.001) in the Kadaknath compared to broilers. Kadaknath meat had
more protein and less fat, moisture and ash content than broilers (p < 0.01). Furthermore, it was richer
(p < 0.01) in 11 amino acids, including those which are known to impart a sweet and umami taste,
than the meat of broilers (3 amino acids). Both genotypes were almost similar in meeting the daily
requirements of indispensable amino acids of adult human. The study concluded that the Kadaknath
differed in carcass and meat quality characteristics from the broilers, and the nutritional quality of
Kadaknath meat in terms of high protein and less fat and higher content of amino acids (tasty type)
was better in Kadaknath meat as compared to broiler meat.
