Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was developed to help provide students with an understanding of the principles of meat science and technology starting with prenatal growth of domestic animals through postnatal growth. It was prepared for students with an animal science interest and relates the science of animal production to technologies and meat quality traits that are important in the meat and animal industries. It provides the student with a unique opportunity to associate animal growth traits, production and marketing traits to carcass quality, meat tenderness, meat color and meat processing characteristics. The first chapter provides a short introduction of the history of the industry. The subsequent chapters provide principles of animal growth and development to carcass composition and meat quality traits. Other chapters provide information on the harvest process of animals, muscle structure and meat tenderness, meat quality, and meat safety and microbiology. The concluding chapters discuss meat processing and technology. The authors have used many colorful illustrations to emphasize important relationships between animal growth and carcass traits, meat quality and processing characteristics. A large percentage of the animal science students are interested in pre-veterinary medicine and many are from an urban background. This book will provide students the concepts and principles that will give them a good background for understanding information on animal agriculture presented in advanced animal science courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawrie’s Meat Science, Eighth Edition, provides a timely and thorough update to this key reference work, documenting significant advances in the meat industry, including storage and preservation of meat, the eating quality of meat, and meat safety. The book examines the growth and development of meat animals, from the conversion of muscle to meat and eventual point of consumption. This updated volume has been expanded to include chapters examining such areas as packaging and storage, meat tenderness, and meat safety. Furthermore, central issues such as the effects of meat on health and the nutritional value of meat are analyzed. Broadly split into four sections, the book opens with the fundamentals behind the growth of meat animals. The second section covers the storage and spoilage of meat products, with the third section exploring the eating quality of meat, from flavor to color. The final section reviews meat safety, authenticity, and the effect of meat on health. Encompasses the recognized gold- standard reference for the meat industry Brings together leading experts in each area, providing a complete overview of the meat sciences Includes all the latest advances, bringing this new edition completely up-to-date, including developments in meat quality, safety, and storage

Book excerpt: Animal Agriculture: Sustainability, Challenges and Innovations discusses the land-based production of high-quality protein by livestock and poultry and how it plays an important role in improving human nutrition, growth and health. With exponential growth of the global population and marked rises in meat consumption per capita, demands for animal-source protein are expected to increase 72% between 2013 and 2050. This raises concerns about the sustainability and environmental impacts of animal agriculture. An attractive solution to meeting increasing needs for animal products and mitigating undesirable effects of agricultural practices is to enhance the efficiency of animal growth, reproduction, and lactation. Currently, there is no resource that offers specific knowledge of both animal science and technology, including biotechnology for the sustainability of animal agriculture for the expanding global demand of food in the face of diminishing resources. This book fills that gap, giving readers all the necessary information on important issues facing modern animal agriculture, namely its sustainability, challenges and innovative solutions. Integrates new knowledge in animal breeding, biotechnology, nutrition, reproduction and management Addresses the urgent issue of sustainability in modern animal agriculture Provides practical solutions on how to solve the current and future problems that face animal agriculture worldwide

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatic shortfalls in crop production in various regions of the world have led some people to question the relatively inefficient use of cereal grains for feeding meat animals instead of their direct use for human food. There is no doubt, however, that meat offers a nutritionally valuable, attractive and widely accepted food, the world demand for which increases daily. Thus it is not enough simply to condemn the consumption of meat as an irresponsible extravagance; rather it is preferable to examine how the demand for meat can be met most efficiently and effectively, which requires a fundamental enquiry into how meat is 'grown'. The importance of fat, for instance, both to the growing animal and to the consumer, needs to be established in view of the 'expense' involved in its deposition by the animal and the extent to which it is discarded at many points in the chain from the slaughterhouse to the consumer. We were aware that there existed a wealth of information on the physiology of growth which, because of its having been collected as part of investigations in many other disciplines and the inevitable communication gap, had not been incorporated into the science of animal production. Similarly there were principles and teChniques of animal husbandry which, if known in other disciplines, might enable more pertinent questions to be asked. The biochemical and physiological pathways by which animals utilise feed to produce body protein, fat and other components are intriguing problems which are receiving considerable attention.
