BACKGROUND A number of epidemiological studies have reported inconsistent findings on the association between meat consumption and lung cancer. DESIGN We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between meat consumption and lung cancer risk in epidemiological studies. RESULTS Twenty-three case-control and 11 cohort studies were included. All ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the resistance to quinolones and tetracycline of 200 C. jejuni and C. coli strains isolated from poultry and poultry meat. Among the strains tested, a high-level of resistance, ranging from 78% to 82% for nalidixid acid and ciprofloxacin, as well as from 44%-56% for tetracycline was observed. Moreover, all Campylobacter strains were examined for the mole...

Sažetak For the last few years in poultry industry there was increased the use of mechanically separated meat, meat of lower quality value, which is the product obtained by removing meat from poultry carcasses or by removing meat from flesh-bearing bones after boning. In this process, the loss or modification of the muscle fiber structure occurs. Since such meat has lower quality value, it is n...

Feed compositions are provided for raising meat-producing ruminants and polutry. β-hydroxcy-βmethylbutyric acid or an edible salt thereof (HMB) is incorporated in the ruminant or poultry feeds to obtain a substantial increase in meat and/or to improve the quality of the lean meat.

ABSTRACT To ensure that chicken meat products are safe to consume, it is important to be able to reliably determine its shelf-life. To assess the applicability of ultra-fast gas chromatography and electronic nose technology in evaluation of poultry, an analysis of the headspace of ground chicken meat samples refrigerated over a period of 7 days was performed. Chemometric techniques were used to...

The development of pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) breast fillet meat has become an economic burden for the poultry industry worldwide. PSE meat results in 1.0-1.5% loss in moisture and carcass weight, and a 2010 estimate of the Brazilian annual production put the economic loss due to PSE at over US$30 million. In the USA, PSE has caused an annual loss of up to US$200 million to the poultry ind...
