In situ, digestion, and growth studies were conducted to evaluate four meat and bone meals and six poultry by-product meals as sources of escape protein and to predict the first-limiting amino acid for growing calves. Escape protein values, determined by 12-h in situ incubation, ranged from 41.7 to 51.0% of CP for meat and bone meals; poultry by-product meals ranged from 32.0 to 39.8%. True pro...

The association between meat consumption and chronic disease incidence and mortality has been evaluated in hundreds of observational epidemiologic studies over the past 3 decades. However, there remains considerable scientific debate as to whether higher intakes of specific meat groups (eg, red meat, poultry, and fish) or individual meats (eg, beef, pork, and chicken) contribute independently t...

The title of this symposium, “Regulation of Digestive Function in Domestic Livestock,” should stimulate some readers to reflect upon events of a few years ago when fresh meat products were luxuries that were enjoyed once a week or on special occasions. What was the availability of fresh meat in the US. 50 years ago? The answer is that the availability of fresh meat was extremely limited. Public...

This paper discusses the application of compartmentalisation in the Thai commercial poultry industry. The concept was adopted to address Thailand's inability to export fresh poultry meat because of endemic avian influenza. Owing to the nature of compartmentalisation, implementation required a strong partnership between government and the private sector (the Thai poultry exporters). The paper de...

Changing diet in China contributes to a raising prevalence of overweight and obesity. This study aimed to evaluate the dietary status of Chinese adults (20-59 years old) using the China Food Pagoda (CFP) proposed in the Chinese Dietary Guidelines 2016 (CDG), and investigate the association between adiposity and deviation of real diet from CFP using an ordered logistic regression. Results showed...

INTRODUCTION Food contamination with Listeria monocytogenes is on the increase posing threats to public health with growing trends in food products recalls due to suspected Listeria contamination. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) among 71 randomly selected poultry farms in Oyo State, ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to study the relative contribution of dietary sources of iron in children with high prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency (ID). METHODS A cross-sectional study in 263 healthy, 1.5- to 6-year-old children in the Jewish sector of Jerusalem, Israel.
