Influence of hunting method on meat quality of wild boar

Divlja se svinja oduvijek lovi radi mesa, koje se smatra ne samo nutritivno bogatim, već i s vrlo poţeljnim ostalim parametrima kakvoće mesa. Tijekom stoljeća lova na divlju svinju ustalile su se dvije vrste lova, a to su lov prigonom i lov s čeke. Lov prigonom obavlja se s psima, što za ţivotinju koja je lovljena predstavlja puno veći stres, nego u slučaju lova s čeke, kada biva odstrijeljena bez prethodne potjere. Stoga je cilj ovoga rada bilo istraţiti razlike u tehnološkoj kakvoći mesa divljih svinja ulovljenih prigonom i lovom s čeke. U tu svrhu izuzeti su uzorci mesa 21 odrasle jedinke usmrćene lovom prigonom te lovom s čeke. Nakon iskrvarenja i evisceracije te skidanja koţe, u lovištu i laboratoriju utvrĎene su mjere polovice i kakvoće mesa. Način lova utjecao je na otpuštanje mesnog soka, kalo kuhanja i njeţnost mesa, dok su izmeĎu spolova utvrĎene statistički značajne razlike u pH vrijednosti, boji te instrumentalnoj njeţnosti, indicirajući da veći utjecaj na parametre kakvoće mesa ima spol, a ne način lova.Wild boar has always been hunted for its meat, which is considered to be nutritious, but also with excellent meat quality. Wild boars are usually hunted either by dog driven hunting or by culling, where hunting with dogs represents much higher stress for the hunted animal than is hunting by culling. The aim of this thesis was to investigate differences in meat quality parameters of animals hunted either by dogs or by culling. For this purpose meat samples from 21 animals was taken and carcass traits together with technological meat quality traits were determined. The hunting method influenced drip loss, cooking loss and instrumental tenderness, while sex influenced pH values, colour and instrumental tenderness, thus indicating that sex influences more meat quality traits of wild boar, than does the bhunting method
