A Practical Guide to Laboratory Analysis of Meat and Meat Products

The book entitled "A Practicle Guide to Laboratory Analysis of Meat and Meat Products" has been designed and modified as per the recent requirement of the Veterinary Professionals and is entirely based on recent course-curriculum of Undergraduate and Post-graduate students. The growing population and rising incomes has led to an unprecedented increase in the demand for animal proteins, not only in India but globally as well. The challenge for this nutritional transition to animal protein based diets is linked with the use of antimicrobials in the feed and compromised hygiene practices at slaughter houses and retail markets. This book deals with various laboratory techniques for testing the quality and safety of meat products, that would help build the lack of trust in the end consumers. This book is of immense help to all the faculty members of all the Veterinary Colleges of the country who are engaged in the teaching/research/extension activities in the area of Livestock Products Technology/Animal Products Technology/Meat Science and Technology/Food Science and Technology, as this book brings together all the important laboratory techniques and analysis at one place.
