Meat Characteristics, Fatty Liver Weight and Blood Biochemical Parameters in Force-Feeding Geese

A study on growth performance, meat characteristics, fatty liver weight and serum biochemical parameters (ASAT, ALAT, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyltransferase, total cholesterol, triglycerides and creatinine) in Landes geese before and after force-feeding was carried out. The overfeeding of geese with corn was taken after 90-days of age. Frequency of daily force feeding was gradually increased from 2 to 5 until the 15th day of force feeding. During force-feeding period, the body weight increased with 57,02 % (from 4507±135 g to 7077±102 g). The liver weight increased from 93±4 g to 568±44 g (6,11 times), and breast muscule with skin from 557±24 to 848±29 (1,52 times). In the end of cramming period it was established significantly increased the serum concentration of ALAT, ASAT, triglycerides and total cholesterol (P
