Website: http://www.rirdc.gov.au Published in March 2003 Printed on environmentally friendly paper by Canprint ii Foreword This report presents the research findings into meat distribution systems within the crocodile, emu, game bird, rabbit, hare and snail industries. The information is based on case studies compiled from face-to-face interviews, and a background to each industry is also included. Statistics for these industries are often unavailable, but where possible they have been obtained from official government sources. When reviewing previous research that had been carried out within the emerging Australian animal industries covered by this report it was found that although work had been undertaken in the areas of production, marketing and product development, little was documented about the logistics and distribution of products in these smaller animal industries. The aim of this project, therefore, was to describe current methods of distributing the meats from the processing works to the customer. The information is presented in the form of case studies that are examples of typical supply chains. The grower and processor are often one and the same, or work hand in hand, in which case these case studies also reflect the supply chain from paddock to plate. These case studies are prefixed by an overview of the industry, products, markets, logistical, and legislative issues. This publication also takes industry issues into consideration, documenting the main areas of concern; and it puts forward recommendations for future research as reflected by these industries. This project was funded from RIRDC core funds, which are provided by the federal government. This report, a new addition to RIRDC’s diverse range of over 900 research publications, forms part of our new animal products R&D program, which aims to accelerate the development of viable new animal industries.

The firBt experiment was carried out at a commercial farm, with birds housed in pens, each containing 10-12 pairs. Two pelleted feeds of different protein concentrations (low protein (LP) with l&V. CP and 2937 kcal ME/kg, and high protein (HP) with 22% CP and 2783 kcal ME/kg) were fed, with and without whole yellov corn, cafeteria-style. A low protein intake was observed with LP + corn, which adversely affected squab growth and livability, without affecting egg production traits or adult body weight.

  • The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

  • Exploring Turkey's Culinary Heritage
    EXPLORING TURKEY’S CULINARY HERITAGE A LOOK THROUGH THE HISTORY, TRADITIONS AND INGREDIENTS HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF TURKISH CUISINE Turkish cuisine is considered in the top five cuisines in the world. The vast geography that the Turks have lived in the past, the various climates, the soil and living conditions have enabled Turks to develop a very rich culinary culture. TURKS IN CENTRAL ASIA Before 11th Century The diet of nomadic Turks consisted mainly on animal products sustained in their immediate environment. They also led an agrarian way of life, depended on agricultural products as well as the animals they bred, and their products. In Central Asia, there were no definite borders at the time, therefore there was a lot of interaction between different kinds of communities. Turks that lived in Central Asia, encountered different culinary traditions and ingredients that they assimilated into their own cuisine.

  • SMALL-SCALE POULTRY PROCESSING Table 1
    SSMALLMALL-S-SCCALEALE PPOULOULTRTRYY PPROCESSINGROCESSING By Anne Fanatico NCAT Agriculture Specialist May 2003 Introduction A growing number of small producers are rais- ing poultry outdoors on pasture, processing the birds on-farm, and selling the meat directly to customers at the farm or at a farmers’ market. Many states allow up to 1,000 birds to be processed on a farm each year and sold directly to consumers with no inspection. Some of these small producers are go- ing further—building government-licensed process- ing plants to supply regional or niche markets. Spe- Photo by Paul Helbert cialty “religious kill” is often done in small plants. “Kosher” is the term for Jewish slaughter and “halaal” for Muslim slaughter. Access to processing is a critical issue for small producers. Consolidation in the meat process- ing industry has left very few small plants that will do custom poultry processing. (Large plants generally don’t process for small producers; they can’t keep track of a small batch of birds and can’t make money on small- volume orders.) This publication covers small-scale processing, both on- farm and in small plants. Relevant information on large-scale processing is also included for comparison, to provide con- text, and because small processors need to have some under- standing of how large-scale processing works.

  • LABELLING REVIEW RECOMMENDATION 40 Analysis of Primary Food Products That Do Not Require Country of Origin Labelling 1 Introduction
    LABELLING REVIEW RECOMMENDATION 40 Analysis of primary food products that do not require country of origin labelling 1 Introduction In 2009, the COAG Legislative and Governance Forum on Food Regulation (then the Australian and New Zealand Ministerial Council for Food Regulation) agreed to a comprehensive independent review of food labelling law and policy. An expert panel, chaired by Dr Neal Blewett, AC, undertook the review and the panel’s final report, Labelling Logic: Review of Food Labelling Law and Policy (2011) (Labelling Logic) was publicly released in January 2011. In Labelling Logic, the review panel recommended: That Australia’s existing mandatory country-of-origin labelling requirements for food be maintained and be extended to cover all primary food products for retail sale (recommendation 40). In the government response to recommendation 401, it was noted that at the time (December 2011), Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) was assessing a proposal that would (if agreed) largely implement this recommendation by extending country of origin labelling requirements to unpackaged beef, veal, lamb, hogget, mutton and chicken. FSANZ was asked to continue its existing process for the proposal and to develop a further proposal to extend country of origin labelling to all other primary food products. It should be noted that most packaged primary food products currently require country of origin labelling. Following consideration of Proposal P1011 – Country of Origin Labelling – Unpackaged Meat Products, the FSANZ Board approved draft variations to Standard 1.2.11 – Country of Origin Labelling of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to extend country of origin labelling requirements to unpackaged beef, veal, lamb, hogget, mutton and chicken sold in Australia.

  • An Analysis of Food and Its Significance in the Australian Novels of Christina Stead, P
    F.O.O.D. (Fighting Order Over Disorder): An Analysis of Food and Its Significance in the Australian Novels of Christina Stead, Patrick White and Thea Astley. Jane Frugtneit A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Humanities James Cook University August 2007 ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to find a correlation between food as symbol and food as necessity, as represented in selected Australian novels by Christina Stead, Patrick White and Thea Astley. Food as a springboard to a unique interpretation of the selected novels has been under-utilised in academic research. Although comparatively few novels were selected for study, on the basis of fastidiousness, they facilitated a rigorous hermeneutical approach to the interpretation of food and its inherent symbolism. The principle behind the selection of these novels lies in the complexity of the prose and how that complexity elicits the “transformative powers of food” (Muncaster 1996, 31). The thesis examines both the literal and metaphorical representations of food in the novels and relates how food is an inextricable part of ALL aspects of life, both actual and fictional. Food sustains, nourishes and, intellectually, its many components offer unique interpretative tools for textual analysis. Indeed, the overarching structure of the thesis is analogous with the processes of eating, digestion and defecation. For example, following a discussion of the inextricable link between food, quest and freedom in Chapter One, which uncovers contrary attitudes towards food in the novels discussed, the thesis presents a more complex psychoanalytic theory of mental disorders related to food in Chapter Two.

  • Container Food List Guide
    CONTAINER FOOD LIST GUIDE If you’re reading this, it’s safe to assume that you’ve done your calorie calculations and found your individual 80 Day Obsession Eating Plan in the Program Materials list, so you know how much food to eat—and when to eat it. These Portion-Control Container Food Lists help you determine which foods to eat for your best results. Here are a few tips to help you: ● Once you figure out how many of each portion-control container to eat each day, fill those containers with foods from the corresponding lists. For example, if your plan calls for 6 greens, fill your Green Container (Vegetables) 6 times a day. ● The foods on each list are arranged by nutritional value—the higher up on the list, the more nutritional benefit! ● Many of the foods are listed with specific measurements/amounts—10 asparagus spears, for example. If there’s no amount, just fill the containers to the point that you can still fit the lid on it. ● There are over 100 “containerized” recipes on the Fixate® cooking show on Beachbody® On Demand. And Autumn provides the container equivalents for each one so it’s easy to integrate into your Eating Plan!
