Popis: The aim of this study was to determine content of nutrients and carnosine concentration in thighs (dark meat) of chickens of the Ross 308 provenance with respect to chicken gender. Amount of carnosine is determined by the HPLC device. Thigh muscle tissue of female and male chickens contains 339.28±68.17 μg/g and 319.29±65.47 μg/g of carnosine (P>0.05), respectively. Live end weights of chickens are also shown, with average male chickens weights of 2377 g and female chickens 2104 g (P0.05) are also shown. The obtained research results are explained in the context of other relevant studies on a similar topic.
