Editorial: Technology Becoming an Industry Driving Force ![]()
We have 5 new features this week: Processed Meats May Raise Heart Disease Risk Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have found a link between an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes and eating processed meats. Re-Examining Agricultural Regulations in a Changing Climate Reporting for TheMeatSite, Rachel Ralte provides an outline of agricultural necessities as presented by Dr Nina Fedoroff, Science & Technology Advisor to US Secretary of State and to the USAID Administrator, at the 86th annual USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum earlier this year. Turkey Product Quality and Marketing at Conference Three papers presented at this year's Turkey Science and Production Conference in Macclesfield tackled difficult issues in turkey meat marketing and product quality. Editor, Jackie Linden, selects the highlights for TheMeatSite. Meat Quality Issues Discussed at Kansas Conference Needle-free jet injection systems may increase the occurrence of injection site abscesses in pork carcasses that will need to be trimmed in pork processing plants, according to one paper presented at Kansas Swine Day 2009, and another revealed that glycerol and ractopamine (singly or combined) had no significant effects on the quality of pork loin chops. World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates - May 2010 Tighter cattle supplies, as a result of a declining cattle inventory over recent years, and pressure on imports will likely lead to a fall in beef production in 2011. This may however push prices up, says the USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates for May 2010. ![]()
