The broth belongs to the recipe
The Parmigiano Reggiano consortium uses meat broth for its passatelli, without specifying the meats in that recipe. Emilia-Romagna Turismo describes tortellini cooked in a broth of beef with hen or capon. These are documented examples, rather than a single formula for every meat broth.
Our suggestion: follow the broth specified by the dish you are making, keeping its meat choices explicit.
