  • Boom in Goat and Sheep Sectors As Affluence Grows
    SECTOR REPORT – FRESH MEAT Boom in goat and sheep sectors as affluence grows Higher incomes, religious customs and cultural events have been driving demand for goat and sheep meat, ARIEF FACHRUDIN and the Aqiqah Al-Hafiz processes 20-30 sheep per week to meet Asian Agribiz team find. demand for aqiqah. 2 ASIAN MEAT MAGAZINE – March/April 2020 Increasing demand for goat meat has been driving growth in Vietnam’s goat population. Official data shows that from 2016-19, the market grew by an average of 18% per year. In 2018 alone, it increased by a quarter on the back of strong sales in China. Last year, goat numbers reached 2.8 million heads, an increase of 15% over 2018. Most goat production takes place in Ninh Binh province in the north and south-central Ninh Thuan province. Capacities at farms in these two regions range from 1500-3000 heads, and from 15-20 animals. Pham Van Hung, owner of a 3000-head goat farm in Lam Dong, told Asian Meat Magazine that goats are happy in Vietnam’s harsh, arid and hilly conditions. “Yet we don’t yet have widespread commercial production. The main problem is a lack of high-quality breeding goats and an effective farming model,” Mr Hung said. “We have to import breeding goats. This raises production cost to beyond consumer affordability.” Perception Concerns over food safety, a growing issue in Vietnam, have helped drive goat meat sales. “Consumers think that goat meat is extremely safe, with no antibiotics and banned substances, while also rich in nutrients,” said Mr Hung.

    ISSN 1023-1072 Pak. J. Agri., Agril. Engg., Vet. Sci., 2017, 33 (1): 111-120 CARCASS YIELD AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF JAPANESE QUAIL MEAT F. N. Awan1, A. H. Shah1, A. H. Soomro2, G. S. Barahm1 and S. G. Tunio1 1 1Departgment of Animal Products Technology, 2Institute of Food Science and Technology, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam, Pakistan ABSTRACT The use of poultry meat and its products has grown throughout the world. Over the last few years, quail (C. coturnix) meat has attained much attractiveness among consumers. During present study twenty (n=20) Japenese quails were purchased and carcass yield and physico-chemical characteristics of meat were determined. Carcass yield, physico-chemical characteristics such as pH, water holding capacity, drip loss, cooking loss, protein, fat, ash, glycogen and calorific value were determined according to the established methods. The results revealed that the average carcass yield in group A (69.52±0.42%) was statistically lower (P< 0.05) to that of group B (72.16±0.73%) whereas the pH values in both groups were non-significant (group A, 6.44±0.06%; group B, 6.52±0.04%). The difference in water holding capacity and cooking loss of quail meat in two groups was found non-significant (P> 0.05). Average drip loss in quail meat of group A (2.64±0.26%) was remarkably higher than that of group B (2.62±0.25%). The protein content of quail meat in group B (21.21±0.58%) was significantly (P> 0.05) higher than group A (19.40±0.49%).

  • Dog Meat Politics in a Vietnamese Town
    DOG MEAT POLITICS IN A VIETNAMESE TOWN Nir Avieli Ben Gurion University In 1999 there were only two semi-clandestine dog-meat restaurants in Hoi An, a town in Central Vietnam. In 2004 there were dozens, serving mostly men of the new middle class. This article explores the sudden popularity of dog meat in Hoi An and discusses its meanings. Based on traditional forms, eating dog meat expresses masculinity. While class distinctions, religious propensities, and pro- cesses of modernization shape local attitudes regarding this culinary trend, the overarching theme that explains the sudden proliferation of dog-meat restau- rants in Hoi An is political and has to do with the diners’ attitude towards the regime: eating dog meat expresses political allegiance, while avoiding it indi- cates disdain. (Dog meat, politics, masculinity, Confucianism, Vietnam) Dog-meat restaurants and eating dog meat have long been popular in the North of Vietnam, but not in the Center and South. In 1999, there were only a couple of places serving dog meat in Hoi An, a town in Central Vietnam. One was hidden in a maze of alleys beyond the town’s ancient quarter; the other was located outside the town, by a small country road. The signs for both restaurants read “Thit Cay” and not “Thit Cho” (dog meat). Cay, according to my Vietnamese language teacher, “is a kind of fox and a euphemism for dog meat in the Center and South, used to camouflage places selling dog meat.” But in 2004, there were dozens of eating venues throughout the town announcing “Thit Cho.” This rapid development of a culinary fashion stimulated exploring why dog meat became popular so quickly, and if any meanings were attributed to eating it.

  • Import Demand for Goat Meat, Sheep and Lamb, and Other Lesser
    IMPORT DEMAND FOR GOAT MEAT, SHEEP AND LAMB, AND OTHER LESSER MEAT BY THE UNITED STATES by DORIS NEKESA SANDE (Under the Direction of Jack E. Houston) ABSTRACT American diets, especially meat consumption, have changed dramatically over the past decade. There has been a shift away from red meats towards white meats. These changes are not in isolation; they seem to be in line with dietary changes worldwide. Changes in consumption patterns in the United States have mainly been prompted by the current wave of population diversity, as well as the health consciousness of the American population. These factors have created a favorable environment for goat meat. This thesis investigates the import demand elasticity for goat meat, along with sheep and lamb, and other lesser meats as a system of minor meats. Due to lack of local production data on goat meat, import data was utilized to determine the import demand. The Generalized Composite Commodity Theorem was employed to test for separability of imports from local production. It was determined that import demand for goat meat and sheep and lamb are both price inelastic and luxury goods, which implies that import demand does not vary much with changes in import prices.

  • The Relationship Between Meat Quality Characteristics and Nutritional Composition of Nandanam Quail-III Slaughtered at Different Ages
    Journal of Animal Research: v.6 n.2, p. 95-100. April 2016 DOI: 10.5958/2277-940X.2015.00174.6 The Relationship Between Meat Quality Characteristics and Nutritional Composition of Nandanam Quail-III Slaughtered at Different Ages R. Ilavarasan*, Robinson J.J Abraham and V. Appa Rao Department of Livestock Products Technology (Meat Science), Madras Veterinary College, TANUVAS, Chennai, INDIA *Corresponding author: R Ilavarasan; Email: [email protected] Received: 23 January, 2016 Accepted: 04 March, 2016 ABSTRACT In recent years, Japanese quail meat has gained much popularity among consumers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the meat quality characteristics and nutritional composition of Nandanam Quail-III (Coturnix coturnix japonica) meat as influenced by age at slaughter. Totally twelve birds were divided into two different age groups. The birds were slaughtered and breast muscle was obtained. The meat quality characters, proximate composition, amino acid and fatty acid content of meat of two age groups were analysed. The significant difference (P<0.01) was observed in muscle fibre diameter, myofibrillar fragmentation index, moisture, protein, fat, major amino acids, total saturated fatty acids, total P/S, cholesterol content between two age groups. Based on the results it was concluded that the meat of young Nandanam Quail-III had the superior meat quality characters in terms of less fibre diameter, lesser myofibrillar fragmentation index and nutritional composition like less fat, saturated fatty acids, higher poly unsaturated fatty acids and amino acids. Keywords: Meat quality characteristics, nutritional composition, Nandanam Quail-III, amino acids and fatty acids Meat is a nutrient-dense food and meat and meat products first domesticated in Japan (Mizutani, 2003).

  • All You Need to Know About Shashlik,Choosing Meat for The
    All You Need to Know About Shashlik Shashlik is a hugely popular picnic food across Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Russia. Alternatively known as shish kebab, it simply consists of marinated meat grilled over hot coals and has been part of Central Asian food culture for thousands of years, with variations of this dish being popular with the Romans! Although it’s hugely popular in Russia nowadays, this food has only been a large part of Russian food culture since the late 19th century when it quickly became a local favorite in St. Petersburg and other large cities throughout the country. The simplicity of this dish has made it a modern favorite around the world, and if you haven’t tried it before, we think it’s about time you did! What is Shashlik? Shashlik is traditionally made using lamb or goat meat, but nowadays variations include pork, chicken, and beef. It’s made by marinating cubes of meat in a yogurt or vinegar-based sauce that penetrates the meat due to its acidity, infusing the flavor and tenderizing the meat. The cubes are threaded on a skewer and then grilled over hot wood or coals until cooked through and slightly charred on the outside. Depending on the region, vegetables such as onion, bell pepper, tomato, or mushrooms are added to the skewer to create a variety of flavors. It’s also usually served with either flatbreads or rice, again, depending on the region. The great thing about shashlik is that it’s a sociable food, with large families and groups of friends gathering in local parks and outdoor areas for a shashlik grill
