meat products, especially fish meat, are very susceptible to lipid oxidation and microbial spoilage. in this study, first, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (gc-ms) analysis of zataria multiflora essential oil (zeo) components was done and then two concentrations of zeo, (1% and 2%) and two concentrations of grape seed extract (gse), (0.5% and 1%) were used in carboxymethyl cellulose coating...

Salmonella and pathogenic Escherichia coli are known to be the major bacterial agents responsible for human foodborne infections attributable to meat. A review of the specialized literature was carried out to identify the risk factors for bovine meat contamination by these pathogens from the cattle farm to meat consumption. Animal stress during transport to the slaughterhouse and the duration o...

Abstract In-vitro meat production has entered into the phase of pilot-commercial scale from conceptual-laboratory phase. The main challenge for in-vitro on a commercial is very high cost its production, mainly due to cell culture media, growth regulators, and requirement highly skilled manpower. development serum-free animal-free media with plant, microbial, fungi-derived compounds through reco...

Numerous studies have sought to demonstrate the possibility of changing the image of meat and meat products from the traditionally accepted image to one of healthy living thanks to the addition (vegetables, extracts, fibers, and so forth), elimination (fats), and reduction (additives) of different ingredients. This article presents a revision of studies published in recent years on the topic an...

Genetic improvement of animals is a long term process and breeding programmes need to consider aspects that are of importance in the future. In addition to cost-effective pig production, factors that affect marketing of pork will become increasingly important. One important factor in marketing of pork is leanness. Consumers prefer lean meat for health reasons. This is taken into account in toda...

The present pattern of British Agriculture has been determined by the physical factors of climate, soil and topography, on which are superimposed technical and economic factors. In considering the potential for change we must work within the physical limitations, assume that an optimum balance of food nutrients supplied by home agriculture could be defined and that economic restraints would be ...

The challenge to those seeking to discover ways to enhance growth of meat animals is established by the needs of the producer and the demands of consumers. In meat animal production, feed grains represent the single largest cost. Thus, a producer will adopt a production method or purchase a growth improver if it results in improved feed efficiency and therefore profits. But, in the United State...

This study estimated genetic parameters for fatty acids of different sites of fat tissue, meat production, and meat quality traits of Duroc pigs selected during 7 generations for ADG, LM area, backfat thickness (BF), and intramuscular fat (IMF). For this study, 394 barrows and 153 gilts were slaughtered at 105 kg of BW. High heritabilities for C18:0 of outer and inner subcutaneous fat tissue we...
