Wet Ageing of Chilled Young-Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis angolensis) Meat as Influenced by Sex and Muscle

Bianca L. Silberbauer, Tersia Kokošková, Daniel Bureš, Radim Kotrba et autres

This exploratory study determined the ideal ageing period for optimum tenderness of Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL), Semimembranosus (SM) and Biceps femoris (BF) steaks from male and female giraffe. The muscles of eight male and seven female giraffes were divided into 10 …

AfroGrow: Co-Creating Living Labs for Sustainable Agroforestry and Climate Resilience Across Africa

Ioannis Varvaris, Diofantos Hadjimitsis, Michalis Mavrovouniotis, Menelaos Stavrinides et autres

Africa, while contributing minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions, disproportionately bears the burden of climate change impacts, including declining agricultural productivity, threats to food and water security, and biodiversity loss. Agroforestry offers a holistic solution to these challenges, providing ecological, economic, and …

The Influence of Sex on the Yield and Chemical Composition of the Organs of Young Giraffe (Giraffa giraffa angolensis)

Bianca L. Silberbauer, Tersia Kokoskova, Daniel Bureš, Radim Kotrba et autres

In Africa, offal is a cheap source of protein and is regularly consumed. The yields and proximate analyses of 15 giraffe (eight male, seven female) were evaluated. The only significant differences of offal weights between sexes were for the head with tongue …

Horn size is linked to Sertoli cell efficiency and sperm size homogeneity during sexual development in common eland (Taurotragus oryx)

Eliana Pintus, Radim Kotrba, José Luis Ros‐Santaella

Background: In polygynous species, the development of secondary sexual characters is usually decisive for male reproductive success. However, our understanding about the links between the growth of these traits and reproductive efficiency is still elusive. Most research efforts in this topic have …

The Effect of Sex on the Chemical and Mineral Composition of the Meat, Bone and Liver of Giraffe (Giraffa giraffa angolensis)

Louwrens C. Hoffman, Bianca L. Silberbauer, Tersia Needham, Daniel Bureš et autres

Consumers tend to buy meat based on visual physical characteristics, which are affected by the chemical composition of the meat, and there is very little known about the chemical composition of the meat of giraffe. This study therefore aims to broaden the …

Effects of temperament during handling and social rank on the blood biochemical parameters of common eland (Taurotragus oryx)

Abubakar Sadiq Musa, J. Kundankumar, Tersia Needham, Radim Kotrba et autres

Large herbivores are subject to handling and social stress in captivity. These may affect blood biochemical values, which motivated this research. Twelve healthy common eland (Taurotragus oryx) were monitored for 12 months. The animals were handled monthly, and blood samples were collected. …
