The study analyzed fresh camel, cow, and goat meat for physicochemical properties, including pH, moisture, protein, fat, ash, crude fiber, vitamins, and metal concentrations. Camel meat had the highest pH (6.01 ± 0.04) and fat content (6.48 ± 0.03%), cow meat had the highest moisture, and goat meat exhibited the highest protein (23.63 ± 0.01%) and ash content (1.03 ± 0.03%). Vitamins A, E, and D levels were consistently low across samples. Essential metals such as sodium (452.55-508.81 mg kg), potassium (2994.13-3503.58 mg kg), and calcium (282.41-594.05 mg kg) were within acceptable ranges. Camel meat showed elevated sodium, selenium, and copper, while goat meat had higher potassium, iron, and manganese. The study highlights species-specific differences in nutritional composition and metal content, influenced by environmental and dietary factors, with implications for public health regarding both nutritional benefits and heavy metal risks.

Article Synopsis
- Fascioliasis, caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica, is a significant zoonotic disease affecting livestock, leading to economic losses in dairy and meat production due to issues like reduced milk output and death.
- This paper reviews research on animal fascioliasis prevalence and risk factors in Eastern and Southern Africa from 2000 to 2023, utilizing databases like Science Direct and PubMed to analyze data from 106 relevant studies.
- Findings indicate high prevalence rates of fascioliasis in various animal species, with mules showing the highest at 47.5%, highlighting the need for improved awareness and control measures in affected regions.

Gastrointestinal parasites, particularly strongyle nematodes, pose a significant threat to the health of ruminants. Due to technical limitations of microscopic and conventional PCR -based methods, the strongyle parasite fauna has not been well studied even in common livestock animals. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and diversity of strongyle nematodes in three ruminants in northern Thailand using a nemabiome approach.

The objective of this meta-regression was to evaluate the influence of ruminant species, sex, and climatic regions on the metabolizable energy () requirements for maintenance ( and weight gain () in growing small ruminants raised for meat production across different climatic regions. Data included 655 and 337 treatment means from 173 and 99 studies on sheep and goats, respectively. Metabolizable energy intake (; MJ/kg^) was regressed against average daily gain (; g/kg^), with the study included as a random effect.
