OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.A nuclear accident (e.g. Fukushima), and in particular the transport of animals in a radiation-affected area, can lead to whole-body or partial external exposure followed by oxidative stress, which should result in changes in meat quality. In this experiment, live pigs were subjected to half-body irradiation with an external dose of 1.0 Gy. The caudal half of the animal\'s body was irradiated. After their slaughter, samples from the musculus semimembranosus and musculus longissimus lumborum et thoracis muscle tissue in the upper edge of the musculus gluteus medius (half of the irradiated body) and on the 3rd-4th thoracic vertebrae (half without irradiation) were collected for determination of meat quality parameters. Only a significant difference was observed (P < 0.05) in the meat colour parameter (a*) in the irradiated group of pigs. If there is no internal contamination and the external radiation dose exposure by the half-body does not exceed 1 Gy, pigs from the irradiation-affected area can be used for consumption.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishA nuclear accident (e.g., Fukushima), and, in particular, the transport of animals within a radiationaffected area can lead to a whole-body, or partial external irradiation, followed by oxidative stress, which could result in subsequent meat quality changes. In this experiment, live pigs were exposed to half-body irradiation by an external dose of 1.0 Gy. The caudal half of the animal’s body was irradiated. After their slaughter, samples from the muscle tissue of musculus semimembranosus and musculus longissimus lumborum et thoracis at the upper margin of musculus gluteus medius (irradiated body half) and at the 3rd–4th thoracic vertebra (non-irradiated half ) were collected to determine the meat quality parameters. A significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed only in the meat colour parameter (a*) in the irradiated group of pigs. If there is no internal contamination, and the halfbody exposure to the external radiation dose does not exceed 1 Gy, pigs from an irradiation-affected area may be used for human consumption.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceIn the case of the half-body irradiation by a single dose of 1 Gy, we observed local colour changes in the musculus longissimus thoracis et lumborum, which, however, is of no significance when considering the meat production. In the case of a nuclear accident, if there is no internal contamination, and the half-body exposure to the external radiation dose does not exceed 1 Gy, pigs from the affected area may be used for human consumption.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThis study aimed to determine whether radiation stress would have a negative impact on the selected pork quality parameters.
