Sweet potato flour (Ipomoea batatas) as natural antioxidant on carcass yield and meat physicochemical characteristics of Creole chickens of Mexico and Cobb 500.

Sweet potato flour was tested as a natural antioxidant on two types of chickens. Cobb 500 had higher carcass yield, while CChM had higher thigh yield. SPF increased skin yellowness and can be used as a pigment in broiler production.
