The need to meet the daily animal protein requirements of teeming human population requires that other sources, including rabbit meat, be explored. Rabbit meat can used as an alternate source combat deficiency in South Africa it is healthier and has a higher proportion digestible proteins compared currently popularly consumed meats such pork, beef, chicken. However, consumers should primary focus when promoting any product since they are end users make purchasing decisions based on their...
There are strong perceptions regarding chevon consumption, with its aroma and smell stringiness gaminess being chief among them. Processing into by-products has resolved this negative perception associated fresh chevon. A blind nonblind comparative sensory evaluation was performed to investigate participant preference for the sausage versus pork beef sausages. The sausages were made from minced shoulder meat. After grilling sausages, they cut 0.5 cm thick slices. 52 20 participants in...
The objective of the investigation was to identify biologically active polyphenols and determine antioxidant antimicrobial capacity
Elephantorrhiza elephantina is a medicinally important plant whose roots are used to control gastrointestinal parasites in goats. The use of plant-based anthelmintics as potential alternatives synthetic controlling worms ruminants promising area research. study was carried out ascertain the efficacy E. goat trematodes.

Structured, self-administered questionnaires were used to analyze consumer perceptions and attitudes about chevon chevon-derived products among 243 consumers randomly selected in Amathole Buffalo City Municipalities South Africa. Chevon was regarded as the most favored by 10.7% of participants, least desired 89.30%. Nationality had a highly significant (P <0.01) impact on preference.

<title>Abstract</title> Meat is a great source of vital nutrients and important proteins for human health. But at the same time, it serves as conducive environment development microbes their transfer to humans. This exacerbated if recommended safety procedures are not strictly adhered to. The aim this research was assess level knowledge meat safety, hygiene practices, antimicrobial drug resistance among abattoir workers in value chain.

We investigated the effect of T. trifidum on shelf-life and quality chevon kept for eight days at 4 ± 1 °C in polyethylene pouches. Different powder levels (0.5 %, 1.0 2.0 % w/w) 0.02 w/w butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were used to treat samples. The BHT treated was compared untreated (control). Colour, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts, oxidative stability, pH total viable counts (TVC) all measured while samples storage. Treatment demonstrated a...
