The importance of developmental programming in the beef industry
Anim Reprod Sci. 2024 Apr 26;265:107488. doi: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2024.107488. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe beef industry relies on multiple focused segments (e.g., cow-calf, stocker/feeder, and meat packing) to supply the world with beef. Thus, the potential impact of developmental programming on the beef industry needs to be evaluated with regards to the different production traits that drive profitability within each segment. For example, when nutrient restriction of dams occurred early in gestation embryo survival was decreased and the ovarian reserve of heifer progeny was negatively affected. Restriction during...

Raw meat-based diet for pets: a neglected source of human exposure to < em > Salmonella < /em > and pathogenic < em > Escherichia coli < /em > clones carrying < em > mcr < /em > , Portugal, September 2019 to January 2020
ConclusionSome RMBDs from European brands available in Portugal can be a vehicle for clinically relevant MDR Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli clones carrying genes encoding resistance to the last-line antibiotic colistin. Proactive actions within the One Health context, spanning regulatory, pet-food industry and consumer levels, are needed to mitigate these public health risks.PMID:38699902 | PMC:PMC11067432 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.18.2300561 (Source: Euro Surveill)

A food-exchange model for achieving the recommended dietary intakes for saturated fat in Irish children: analysis from the cross-sectional National Children's Food Survey II
CONCLUSION: The food-exchange model decreased SFA intakes and increased PUFA intakes, suggesting modest dietary changes to children's diets can effectively improve their overall dietary fat profile.PMID:38698582 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980024000971 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

Concentrations, Sources, and Health Risk of Heavy Metals in Edible Parts of Broilers from Northeast of Algeria
This study aimed to determine the concentration of mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and iron (Fe) in the edible parts of broilers, as well as in feed, drinking water, and litter as sources of contamination and to assess their possible human health risk in the province of Jijel (Northeast Algeria). The range of Hg, Pb, and Fe in edible parts were 0.004-0.007, 0.185-0.480, and 28.536-88.306 mg/kg, respectively, and the difference in content was only significant (p < 0.05) for lead. Breast and thigh samples had Pb concentrations above the maximum limit. Spearman coefficient analysis revealed that most correlations were positive be...

Genetic legacy and adaptive signatures: investigating the history, diversity, and selection signatures in Rendena cattle resilient to eighteenth century rinderpest epidemics
CONCLUSIONS: The Rendena breed, while sharing a common origin with Brown Swiss, has developed distinct traits that enable it to thrive in the Alpine environment and make it highly valued by local farmers. Preserving these adaptive features is essential, not only for maintaining genetic diversity and enhancing the ability of this traditional animal husbandry to adapt to changing environments, but also for guaranteeing the resilience and sustainability of both this livestock system and the livelihoods within the Rendena valley.PMID:38698323 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-024-00900-y (Source: Genet Sel Evol)

Life Expectancy Gains from Dietary Modifications: A Comparative Modelling Study in Seven Countries
CONCLUSION: A sustained change from country-specific typical dietary pattern patterns to longevity-optimized dietary changes, more feasible dietary changes, or optimized vegan dietary changes, are all projected to result in substantial life expectancy gains across ages and countries. These changes included more whole grains, legumes, and nuts, and less red/processed meats and sugars and sugar-sweetened beverages. The largest gains from dietary changes would be in the United States.PMID:38692410 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.028 (Source: Am J Clin Nutr)
