This paper describes a new approach by which changes over time in the relative risk of human campylobacteriosis from broiler meat are evaluated through quantitative microbiological risk assessment modelling. Danish surveillance data collected at retail from 2001 to 2010 on numbers of thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. on Danish produced and imported chilled and frozen broiler meat were the basis...

Two experiments (EXP) were conducted to evaluate the interactive effects of dietary AME and amino acid (AA) density (total basis) on broiler chickens from 42 to 56 d of age. In EXP 1, diets were formulated to contain low AME (3,140 kcal/kg) and moderate AME (3,240 kcal/kg) in combination with moderate AA (16.2% CP, 0.88% Lys, and 0.75% TSAA) and high AA (18.0% CP, 0.98% Lys, and 0.83% TSAA) and...

The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic and environmental parameters for carcass, carcass part, and organ weights in a paternal strain of broiler chickens that was selected mainly for body weight at 42 days of age (BW42) to provide support for poultry genetic improvement programs. A total of 1448 chickens were used that resulted from the expansion of a pure paternal strain named...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of extended-spectrum cephalosporinase (ESC)-producing Escherichia coli in pigs at slaughter and retail meat, and possible associations with the consumption of third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins. METHODS During 2009, faecal samples from Danish pigs (n=786) were collected at slaughter, and 866 meat samples [Danish: pork (153), broiler meat (121)...

The purpose of this research was to analyze effect the balancing lemuru fish oil and palm on carcass broiler chemical composition breast broiler. 200 broilers reared from DOC 35 days old. Broilers were divided into 4 treatment groups 5 replications. consisted of: P0 = diet with 3% crude oil, P1 1% + 2% P2 P3 oil. Data analyzed using ANOVA Duncan's significant difference test. Treatment up had (...

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...

Survival of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolated from broiler meat was investigated and modeled on retail breast meat. Meat portions were inoculated with C. jejuni or C. coli at 6.4 to 6.8 log CFU/g followed by storage at 220uC for 84 days or at 4 or 12uC for 14 days. Kinetic data within a species and temperature were fitted to the Weibull model. When $70% of the residuals were ...

The present study was conducted to compare the growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of the egg-type male growing chicken (EM), white-mini broiler (WB), and commercial broiler (Ross 308, CB). A total of 360 1-d-old chicks were reared together using a completely randomized design with 4 replicates for each group under the identical feeding and rearing conditions. The ADG ...

Several processors use inline injection and tumble marination practices to decrease labor costs and product handling. However, the stimulation of this early postmortem (PM) muscle may cause increased toughness. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare marination of early PM meat by using injection, vacuum tumbling, or both to determine their effects on tenderness of broiler breast ...

The effects of antemortem holding temperatures on live shrink, processing yields, and breast meat quality of broiler chickens were evaluated. A total of 462 broilers was reared to 45 d of age using conventional husbandry practices, removed from feed and water, and cooped 12 h prior to slaughter. During the 12-h feed withdrawal and holding time, the birds were held at 25, 29.5, or 34 C. Birds we...
