Lipid Oxidation and Colour Stability of Lamb and Yearling Meat (Muscle ) from SheepSupplemented with Camelina-Based Diets after Short-,Medium-, and Long-Term Storage.

This study investigated the impact of feeding pelleted diets containing camelina ( L. Crantz) hay (CAHP) or camelina meal (CAMP) as a supplement compared with a control pellet (CONP) diet, without vitamin E fortification. The fatty acid profile, retail colour, and lipid oxidative stability of lamb and yearling meat () stored for short-, medium-, or long-periods (2 days (fresh), 45 days and 90 days) under chilled to semi-frozen conditions were determined.

Development of VISNIR predictive regression models for ultimate pH, meat tenderness (shear force) and intramuscular fat content of Australian lamb.

This study investigated the effectiveness of visible-near-infrared (VISNIR) spectroscopy at classifying Australian lamb for: a) ultimate pH (pH 24), b) meat tenderness (i.e. shear force at day 5 of ageing, SF5) and c) intramuscular fat (IMF) content at 24 h post-slaughter using a custom-made handheld probe coupled with the ASD Labspec Pro instrument.

Measuring health program effectiveness in the field: an assessment tool.

To assist field workers in program evaluation and to explicitly discuss program strengths and weaknesses, a practical method to estimate the effectiveness of public health interventions within the existing program capacity was developed. The method and materials were tested in seven countries (Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Uganda, Guatemala, the Philippines, and Ghana). In this method, four core components are assessed using a questionnaire: (1) the efficacy of the intervention; (2) the level of existing human resources (i.
