Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the supplementation of antibiotics on meat quality grade of broiler carcasses under the Korean meat grading system. A total of 34,000 broiler carcasses, which were randomly selected 100 broilers from each farm in 340 broiler farms (305 farms with antibiotics; 35 farms without antibiotics), were used in this study. Average daily weight gain of broilers was not significantly affected by the use of antibiotics. The ratio of quality grade A was higher in the broiler carcasses from the farms with antibiotics supplementation (78.87%) than those without antibiotics (73.46%, P<0.05). The numbers of carcass defects, which are down-grade factors of meat grading system, were much higher in the broiler carcasses produced from the farms without antibiotics supplementation when compared with those with antibiotics. In particular, the incidence of the carcass defect on conformation was approximately 1.8 times higher in the carcasses from the farms without antibiotics supplementation than those with antibiotics, which showed the highest negative correlation with quality grade A. Therefore, the improvement of farm management system, the use of antibiotics alternatives from natural products, and a proper incentive should be considered in various ways to encourage farmers to reduce antibiotics usage in their farm and earn consumers' trust for antibiotics-free products.
