Notes:
Three different types of mechanically deboned poultry meat (MDPM) were obtained from a Pennsylvania poultry processing plant and studied for nutrient composition. Samples of MDPM included material from broiler skinless necks (protein 15.3%, fat 7.9%, moisture 76.7%), broiler backs (protein 11.9%, fat 24%, moisture 63.1%), and a combination of skinless necks and backs (protein 13.7%, fat 17.0%, moisture 69.0%). Protein efficiency ratios (PER) were determined for each type using casein as the standard diet. MDPM from skinless necks had an adjusted PER value of 2.65 which was comparable to the standard casein diet. The combination of necks and backs MDPM also resulted in a PER value that was comparable to the standard casein diet. PER values for MDPM from backs were significantly lower possibly due to protein alternation as a result of rancidity. Amino acids, fatty acids, caloric content and selected trace minerals were measured also.
