Editorial: Stable Global Trade in Meat ![]()
We have 6 new features this week: Developing Nations Lead Way Out of Recession The growth of biofuels and their importance on food prices will be one of the major factors as the world emerges from the effects of the banking crisis and recession, writes TheMeatSite editor Chris Harris. Substantial Increase in Listeriosis, Denmark 2009 In 2009, 97 cases of listeriosis were reported in Denmark (1.8 per 100,000), a significant rise over the previous year, according to a report for the European Food Safety Authority. The increase was seen both in cases of bacteraemia and meningitis and affected mainly people aged 70 years and older. World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates - April 2010 The forecast for 2010 total US meat production is raised as higher beef and poultry production more than offset lower pork output, according to the USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates for April 2010. New Zealand Livestock And Products Semi-Annual Report 2010 The forecast for total cattle slaughter in 2010 was reduced by 4.8 per cent to 3.74 million head, according to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service. Beef production is forecast to fall by just one per cent due to good pasture conditions and an expected increase in carcase weights. Domestic consumption is expected to be 120,00 tons for both 2009 and 2010. It is expected exports will drop 1.35 per cent. EU-27 Poultry and Products Semi Annual Report 2010 The negative impact of the global financial crisis is forecast to slow EU-27 broiler production growth to less than one per cent in 2010, according to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service. Antimicrobial Usage and Bacterial Resistance in the UK: 2007 The amount of antimicrobials sold per tonne of live weight of animal slaughtered for food in the UK has fallen from 80g in 2004 to 60g in 2007. This is one of the findings in Overview of Antimicrobial Usage and Bacterial Resistance in Selected Human and Animal Pathogens in the UK: 2007, which has recently been published by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) and a number of other UK agencies. ![]()
