Meat Quality and the Quality of Animal Production

  • Conference paper
  • 326 Accesses

Abstract

The need for an integrated approach to both meat production and meat quality is discussed. The recent proportional increase in world meat production surpasses that of cereal production. Poultry and pig production are preferred over ruminant production. The effects of such intensification on environment and food quality are discussed and developed into fifteen critical points within an enlarged concept of meat quality.
