Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica is a leading cause of bacterial food-borne disease outbreaks worldwide and is also an economic burden particularly in Reunion Island because its population consumes large amounts of chicken and cooks 100% chicken sausages (35 kg per capita per year). The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary supplementation of tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) leaf powder on meat cholesterol and serum lipid profile of broiler from day old to 42nd day of age. One hundred fifty day old chicks were distributed into three experimental groups of 50 birds which were further divided into five replicates of 10 birds each. The control (T1 ) group was fed with ...

Escherichia coli resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins have been detected in the Norwegian broiler production, despite the fact that antimicrobial agents are rarely used. The genetic mechanism responsible for cephalosporin resistance is mainly attributed to the presence of the blaCMY-2 gene encoding a plasmid-mediated AmpC-beta-lactamase (pAmpC). The aim of this study was to characteriz...

In recent years, demand for white meat products has resulted in excess supplies and depressed prices of leg meat in the United States. One approach to increasing the utilization of dark meat is to extract the pigments and fat to make the resulting product more acceptable for the production of further-processed meat products. To date, such technologies have been inefficient (low yields) or have ...

With the aim of investigating the differences in the quality traits between Korean native chicken (Hanhyup, KNC) and broilers commonly used in two different traditional Korean cuisines, the chemical composition and sensory properties of breast and thigh meat from the two chicken strains were assessed. KNC for baeksuk (chicken meat braised in soup with various Oriental medicinal plants; KNL), KN...

the experiment was conducted on forty five broiler chickens at 4 weeks of age, for a period of threeweeks, to assess the effect of complete replacement of fish meal with processed fish wastes (fish waste acidsilage and surimi waste powder) on the blood protein, lipid and antioxidant status in broiler chicken, eventhough an earlier study indicated that this replacement induced normal growth rate...

Introduction L* value (lightness) and pH have been used as predictive tools for estimating meat quality. In general, measurement of L* value is easier and faster than pH. Woelfel et al. (2002) reported that L* value seems to be of more predictive value than pH. Broiler meat with low pH or high L* value has been associated with low water-holding capacity, which results in increased cooking loss ...

1. Herbs, thyme essential oil (EO) and condensed tannin (CT) extracts were compared for their effects, as dietary supplements, on broiler growth performance, nutrient digestibility and volatile fatty acid (VFA) profiles in the gut. Cooked meat from the birds fed on diets with 4 herbs and an EO extract was compared by a taste panel against those fed on the control treatment, for organoleptic pro...
