Immunological Discrimination of Poultry Meats

A sensory perspective of effect of feeds on flavor in meats: poultry meats.

Reduction of feed costs is a major concern of poultry producers. However, replacement of components of a corn-soybean diet with a lower-cost alternative requires the assessment not only of poultry performance and carcass characteristics but also of resulting meat quality. A brief overview of research studies, conducted over the past 10 yr, investigating the effects of alternative poultry feedst...

ESTROGENIC and androgenic agents in meats and poultry.

Campylobacter contamination in retail poultry meats and by-products in the world: a literature survey.

Campylobacter species are common bacterial pathogens associated with human gastroenteritis worldwide. In North America, Europe and Japan, campylobacteriosis is one of the leading food-borne bacterial illnesses and the consumption of poultry meats and/or by-products is suspected a major cause of the illness. In this survey, we summarized the research papers describing Campylobacter contamination...

Discrimination of oriented visual textures by poultry chicks

We investigated how poultry chicks discriminate textures of lines sharing a common orientation from textures of variably oriented lines. Stimulus colours along with illumination were adjusted to selectively stimulate different receptor mechanisms. Chicks could discriminate achromatic textures, but not textures isoluminant to the double cones that gave a long vs. medium wavelength chromatic sign...

Effects of low carbohydrate diets high in red meats or poultry, fish and shellfish on plasma lipids and weight loss

BACKGROUND Low carbohydrate diets (LCDs) have been demonstrated to be effective tools for promoting weight loss and an improved plasma lipid profile. Such diets are often associated with increased meat consumption, either poultry, fish, and shellfish (PFS), which are generally high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) or red meats (RM), generally high in saturated fat (SFA). The fatty acid profile and...
