Welcome to this week's newsletterEditorial: US FTAs Eventually Signed but Canada Sees Warning Signs
We have 7 new features this week: Demand Holding up in a Volatile Market Against a back cloth of a volatile market, meat demand appears to be holding up although cheaper meat cuts have retained their popularity, writes TheMeatSite Editor in Chief, Chris Harris. Biomarkers Predict Optimal Resting Time for Pigs before Slaughter Proteomics biomarkers can be used to predict the optimal resting time for slaughter pigs in the abattoir to alleviate the unfavourable effect of stress on the quality of pork, according to a study carried out at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Good Genes Yield High-quality Meat Products Gene technology can help farmers to selectively breed production animals for increasingly high-quality meat, eggs and dairy products. "This can be accomplished without compromising animal welfare," says a Norwegian animal geneticist. GLOBAL POULTRY TRENDS - Asia: The Major Chicken Meat Importer More than one-third of the chicken meat traded globally is imported into Asian countries, according to seasoned industry watcher, Terry Evans. Only two countries in the region – Thailand and China – export significant amounts of broiler meat. Argentina – Livestock and Products Annual 2011 Argentine cattle and beef production is expected to continue its slow recovery in 2012 after the sharp herd reduction in 2008-09. India – Livestock and Products Annual 2011 Strong dairy demand continues to fuel herd growth and is expected to continue in 2012. CY2012 combined stocks forecast more than 4 percent growth over 2011 at 325 million heads. US Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook – October 2011 The drought in the US is keeping cattle weights down and for the pig meat sector production is expected to be up on 2010, according to Rachel J. Johnson of the USDA ERS in the latest Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook. ![]()
