% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

There are 13 essential vitamins required for the body to work properly, which are categorised into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Vitamins have a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), provided by the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), which vary by age and sex. The %DV indicates how much one serving contributes to the average recommended daily intake.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Squab pigeon meat provides protein, and its essential amino acid content remains stable even after cooking methods such as braising and frying. It can also be a source of selenium, with levels influenced by the bird's diet through supplementation. However, as an avian meat, squab pigeon meat may contain shared allergens that can cause cross-reactive allergies in individuals sensitive to other bird meats, including game birds like dove and quail.
1. Common Allergens in Avian Meats.
Source: PubMed
Summary: Individuals allergic to one type of bird meat, including game birds like squab pigeon meat, may experience cross-reactive allergies to other avian meats due to shared allergens.

2. Proteomics and Lipidomics Analysis of the Breast Muscles to Investigate the Effect of Dietary Copper Level on the Meat Quality of Pigeons.
Source: PubMed
Summary: Adequate copper supplementation in squabs reduces saturated fatty acids while increasing beneficial omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids like methyl linolenate, thereby improving meat quality.

3. Effects of Selenium Supplementation on Growth Performance, Selenium Content and Gene Expression in Pigeon Squabs
Source: Taylor & Francis
Summary: Dietary sodium selenite supplementation in pigeon squabs can influence growth performance during later growth stages, increase selenium content in muscle tissue, and affect the expression of key genes like GPx4 and GH.

4. Monitoring the Variations in Physicochemical Characteristics of Squab Meat During the Braising Cooking Process
Source: Wiley Online Library
Summary: Squab meat undergoes physicochemical changes during braising and frying, including decreases in color parameters, moisture content, and drip loss rate, while crude protein content and pH value increase, and essential amino acid content remains unchanged.
