Influence of the hunting method on meat quality of wild boar (Sus scrofa Linnaeus) - a preliminary study

The aim of this study was to investigate differences in meat quality parameters of animals hunted by two conventionally used methods: dog- driven hunting and selective/individual hunting. For this purpose meat samples from 21 animals were collected and technological meat quality traits (pH, CIE L*, a*, b*, drip loss, cooking loss, defrosting loss, Warner-Bratzler Shear Force) were determined in the laboratory. The results of the study showed that the hunting method influences drip loss, cooking loss and instrumental tenderness, indicating that dog- driven hunting is more stressful for the animal and can cause serious deterioration of different meat quality traits
