Advances in Food Research
The Welfare of Pigs
In Europe, at the present time, there is a growing concern about the welfare of animals kept for production purpose. Technical advancements make it possible to produce more and more efficiently. However, the basic requirements for animal well-being are not always taken into account, partly because they need to be defined more precisely in order to be able to implement them. In the meeting on the welfare of pigs, organised under the supervision of the Commission of the European Communities, Directorate General for Agriculture, Division for the Coordination of Agricultural Research, scientists from all over Western Europe brought together relevant experimental data of physiological, veterinary...
Acute Virus Infections of Poultry
This book is based on the proceedings of a seminar on acute viral in fections of poultry, which was held in Brussels on 13-14 June 1985. The aim of the seminar, which was sponsored by the CEC, was to gather infor mation on those infections of immediate or increasing importance. It is hoped that dissemination of this information will make it easier to har monize diagnostic and control measures throughout the member states of the EEC. Several points emerge from recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza. In view of the apparent change in pathogenicity of the virus involved in the outbreak in the USA, infections of domestic poultry, particularly with H5 and H7 sub-types, should be re...
Energy Metabolism in Farm Animals
Animal production systems have changed dramatically over the last two decades. Knowledge of energy metabolism and environmental physio logy has increased as appears from many textbooks on these disciplines. The contents of the symposia on energy metabolism of farm animals show this and they have initially focussed on feed evaluation and later on com parative aspects of energy metabolism. They show part of the progress being made. Application of knowledge of energy metabolism for animals has a long history since Lavoisier. In addition to this, studies about the environ mental requirements of animals have shown that we are still far from ac curate assessment of these requirements in terms of n...
Microorganisms and Fermentation of Traditional Foods
The first volume in a series covering the latest information in microbiology, biotechnology, and food safety aspects, this book is divided into two parts. Part I focuses on fermentation of traditional foods and beverages, such as cereal and milk products from the Orient, Africa, Latin America, and other areas. Part two addresses fermentation biology, discussing specific topics including microbiology and biotechnology of wine and beer, lactic fermented fruits and vegetables, coffee and cocoa fermentation, probiotics, bio-valorization of food wastes, and solid state fermentation in food processing industries.
Embryonic Mortality in Farm Animals
Reproductive wastage is a major inefficiency in all livestock production with embryonic mortality accounting for a major portion of this loss. Accordingly the Commission of the European Communities encouraged the organisation of a seminar on embryonic mortality in farm animals which was held in Brussels on the 11th and 12th of December 1984. This book contains the text of the papers, discussions and final summary presented at that Seminar. As a background to the Seminar, the extent and timing of embryonic loss was described for farm animals. Particular consideration was then given to the various mechanisms and signals, both embryonic and uterine in origin, that are so far known to be involve...
Structure and Development of Meat Animals and Poultry
An updated (and re-titled) edition of a major text, Structure and Development of Meat Animals and Poultry serves the information needs of meat science and animal production professionals and meat industry personnel. The book is well illustrated with more than 250 line drawings and photographs. Additionally, it is well organized for study and reference. Throughout the presentation, the basics of meat and poultry science are related to commercial meat production and product development. The Author Prof. Howard Swatland began his career in the meat industry with vocational training at Smithfield College in London. After graduation from the University of London he became a research assistant at ...
Evaluation and Control of Meat Quality in Pigs
A Seminar in the CEC Agricultural Research Programme, held in Dublin, Ireland, November 21-22, 1985. Sponsored by the Commission of the European Communities, Directorate-General for Agriculture, Division for the Coordination of Agricultural Research
Follicular Growth and Ovulation Rate in Farm Animals
Hypotheses regarding development of dominant follicles during a bovine estrous cycle; Inhibin and ovarian function; Development of preovulatory follicles in the cow from luteolysis until ovulation; Follicular development in heifers chronically treated with bromocryptine; ...
