Campylobacteriosis is one of the most important bacterial food-borne illnesses in humans. One significant source of infection is the handling and consumption of poultry meat, although other sources also contribute considerably. Controlling Campylobacter in broilers reduces the human burden of illness. Broilers can easily become colonised with Campylobacter and preventive measures in primary pro...

Abstract—Woolcool is an eco–friendly type of packaging, made of 100% pure sheep’s wool, hygienically sealed in recyclable food– grade wrap. Due to its complex physical and chemical composition, wool can also help control humidity and reduce condensation. Given these properties, the potential of wool to be used as packaging liners for the transport of meat is of interest. The present study asses...

and Implications Market animals fed conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) could be leaner, have less fat and more muscle, and an increased rate of gain and improved feed efficiency. Improvement of these three production variablesÐimproved lean, rate of gain, and feed efficiencyÐwould offer significant economic advantages in swine production. Moreover, consumers would have available a leaner, more heal...

Product mislabeling, adulteration, and substitution are increasing concerns in highly processed foods, including pet foods. Although regulations exist for pet foods, there is currently a lack of information on the prevalence of pet food mislabeling. The objective of this study was to perform a market survey of pet foods and pet treats marketed for domestic canines and felines to identify meat s...

Free–range reindeer in western Alaska are managed for both velvet antler and meat production. Optimal management should maximize the income generated from both meat and antler production while managing the herd at levels below the carrying capacity of the range. Meat production precludes future antler production from harvested animals, therefore harvest decisions should reflect antler and body ...

A total of 159 bulls representing seven Spanish beef breeds were fed with concentrates, managed in the same conditions and slaughtered at two commercial weights (veal and young-bull). Carcasses were measured and classified in order to characterise the carcass variation in the Spanish beef market and to assess the relationship among carcass measurements and grading. Principal Component Analysis ...

The study was designed with a view to isolate, identifies and characterizes Campylobacter species from broiler meat samples (leg muscle, breast muscle and cloacal skin) which were collected from KR market at Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from January 2013 to May 2013. A total of 50 samples were subjected to bacterial isolation and identification by using cultu...

A study was conducted in Northern Ethiopia to assess the sheep production system and factors affecting live sheep supply for quality meat. The survey was done in selected districts known for their high density of sheep population. The flock structure seems to be affected by the demand, requirement of breeding female, feed availability and the occurrence of disease and natural calamities. Farmer...
