The book's first section explores new developments in our understanding of how muscle structure affects the eating qualities of cooked meat. The second section highlights new techniques for measuring, predicting, and producing poultry meat quality and how these new techniques help us minimize variability in eating quality and/or maximize value. The final section identifies the current qualities of consumer and public perceptions, including what is sustainable, ethical, desirable, and healthy in poultry production and consumption. - Brings together top researchers in the field to provide a comprehensive overview of the new elements of poultry quality evaluation - Provides a comprehensive reference source on poultry with the same scientific authority as texts on more broad traditional meat quality values - Contains contributions from editors who are very well known and highly respected in the field

Organic Meat Production and Processing describes the challenges of production, processing and food safety of organic meat. The editors and international collection of authors explore the trends in organic meats and how the meat industry is impacted. Commencing with chapters on the economics, market and regulatory aspects of organic meats, coverage then extends to management issues for organically raised and processed meat animals. Processing, sensory and human health aspects are covered in detail, as are the incidences of foodborne pathogens in organic beef, swine, poultry and other organic meat species. The book concludes by describing pre-harvest control measures for assuring the safety of organic meats. Organic Meat Production and Processing serves as a unique resource for fully understanding the current and potential issues associated with organic meats.

The sustainable and all-encompassing method of growing chickens that puts an emphasis on human health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare is known as organic poultry farming. We will examine the essential ideas, advantages, and difficulties of raising organic poultry in this chapter. 1.1 What is farming poultry organically? Raising chickens, ducks, turkeys, and other poultry species in conformity with organic standards and principles is known as organic poultry farming. The use of synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and other artificial inputs in the manufacturing process is usually prohibited by these regulations. Rather, to enhance the health and welfare of their birds, organic poultry producers depend on natural and organic means. 1.2 Organic Poultry Farming Principles Several fundamental ideas underpin organic chicken farming: 1.2.1 Care for Animals: For organic poultry producers, the well-being, comfort, and instinctive behavior of their birds come first. They provide the flock plenty of room to roam about, access to the outside world, and hygienic living arrangements to guarantee their wellbeing. 1.2.2 Care of the Environment: The focus of organic poultry production is on environmentally friendly, sustainable methods. This entails lowering pollution, preserving resources, and fostering biodiversity in the agricultural setting. 1.2.3 Organic Sources: To maintain the health and immunity of their birds, organic chicken producers employ natural inputs including probiotics, herbal supplements, and organic feed. They stay away from using growth accelerators, herbicides, and artificial chemicals. 1.3 Advantages of Raising Organic Poultry There are several advantages to raising chickens organically for customers, farmers, and the environment. 1.3.1 Product Healthier: Because organic chicken products don't include artificial chemicals or antibiotics, eating them is safer and healthier. Additionally, they often include greater levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids among other nutrients. 1.3.2 Preservation of the Environment: Soil, water, and air quality are protected by organic poultry farming, which prioritizes sustainable techniques. It encourages biodiversity on the farm and lessens the need for chemical inputs. 1.3.3 Care for Animals: Birds raised at organic chicken farms are given a more compassionate and natural environment, which reduces stress and enables them to display their natural behaviors. 1.3.4 Need in the Market: The market for organic poultry products is expanding as a result of increased consumer knowledge of the advantages organic goods provide for their health and the environment. Farmers of organic poultry now have the chance to sell their produce at exclusive marketplaces and for a higher price.
