The estimated public health burden of Campylobacter infection and illness in England and Wales due to consuming undercooked poultry products is relatively small, ~0.3 percent. The estimated annual number of cases of campylobacteriosis in England and Wales attributed to consumption of chicken is 175,000. Information, on consumer behavior during cooking, heat sensitivity of Campylobacter, populat...

The study was conducted to determine the absorption of essential and non-essential trace minerals from poultry feed products. Poultry feed, liver, muscles, egg samples were collected six farms in Rawalpindi Islamabad.

Edible coatings can improve the quality of fresh, frozen, and processed meat, poultry, and seafood products by retarding moisture loss, reducing lipid oxidation and discoloration, enhancing product appearance in retail packages by eliminating dripping, sealing in volatile flavors, functioning as carriers of food additives such as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents, and reducing oil uptake by ...

Weanling pigs (total of 560) were used in two experiments to determine the effects of poultry meal in nursery diets on pig performance. In Exp. 1,210 barrows and gilts (initially 7.4 kg and 21 +/- 2 d of age) were fed one of five diets, which included a control diet with no specialty protein products or (as-fed basis) the control with 2.5 or 5.0% fish meal, or 2.9 or 5.9% poultry meal (11.8% as...

Eight hundred and eighty-three strains of Campylobacter spp. isolated between 1982 and 1989 from human stools and poultry products were screened for quinolone resistance. In this period the prevalence of resistant strains isolated from poultry products increased from 0% to 14%. During the same period the prevalence in man increased from 0% to 11%. The emergence of quinolone resistance has impli...

The available energy of several poultry by-product meal products were determined by various experimental methods. It is imperative to determine the accurate available energy value for these products for proper diet formulation and product usage. Leghorn roosters and turkeys were tube fed the products for the assay based on the True Metabolizable Energy (TME) system. Three week old battery reare...

the genus campylobacter  is of great importance to public health because it includes several species that may cause diarrhoea. poultry and poultry products are known as important sources of human campylobacteriosis. in this study, during the autumn months of 2005, a total of 100 samples from poultry carcasses, representing 20 broiler flocks were obtained by rinse test, after the chilling stage ...
