Abstract
Relative eating quality of male and female chicken broilers from pure lines of White Rock and Cornish breeds and their reciprocal crosses was assessed. Flavor and tenderness were evaluated using the paired comparisons method. Shear force was measured by the modified Warner-Bratzler shearing device.The panel preferred the flavor of the males and found them more tender than the females. No flavor differences were detected among the four crosses. The Cornish male on White Rock female cross and the pure White Rock breed were rated more tender than the White Rock male on Cornish female cross.There were no differences in shear values between sexes or among crosses.The Cornish x White Rock cross used in this study was found superior to the other combinations in flavor and tenderness.
