In this study, empirical analysis was introduced in order to investigate firms’ adoption behaviour with regard to food safety and quality assurance systems in the Turkish food industry. The data originate from 106 Turkish food industry enterprises and were gathered using a questionnaire-based survey. Multiple regression analyses were used to analys...

Background Chicken meat plays a crucial role in food and nutrition security across many African countries, serving as an affordable and high-quality source of animal protein. Driven by population growth and economic development, the demand for chicken meat in African countries has increased, resulting in significant gaps between supply and demand....

Objective: This study intended to figure out the effects of fixed effects and genes such as beta-lac toglobulin (β-LG), prolactin (PRL), annexin A9 (ANXA9), and acetyl-CoA acyltransferase 2 (ACAA2) on the structure of fatty milk acids in Awassi ewes, as well as any potential genotype-genotype interactions. Materials and Methods: Fatty acid (FA) p...

ABSTRACT Objective: This study intended to figure out the effects of fixed effects and genes such as beta-lac-toglobulin (β-LG), prolactin (PRL), annexin...

Ghana has been experiencing a significant increase in the demand for dairy products due to rising incomes, population growth, urbanization, and changes in dietary choices. However, due to the low domestic milk production capacity, Ghana relies heavily on imports to meet local demand. This study aimed to identify and characterize prevailing dairy pr...

Like many other African countries, Ghana and Senegal import large quantities of meat and dairy products from overseas. As this trend rises, together with critical discussions about the consequences for local producers and food security, the role of exports from Europe to African countries has become an intensively discussed topic. It is often argue...

This study aims to evaluate the nutritive value of Ajuga iva (A. iva) harvested from three distinct altitude regions in Tunisia (Dougga, Mograne, and Nabeul). The chemical composition, phenolic concentration, gas production, and in vitro dry matter (DM) digestibility were determined. The highest concentrations of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and a...

To combat desertification and land degradation in arid and semi-arid zones, the government has adopted an approach of rehabilitation of pasturelands through forage plantations. This program was launched at the beginning of the 1990s and, to date, there has been no global or national study on the sustainability of the program, particularly its econo...

This study aims to provide possible utilization of sunflower head byproduct (SFH) as a feedstuff by implementing chemical pretreatments (4% sodium hydroxide (SFHNaOH) or 4% urea (SFHurea) and supplementation with either exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) or functional feed additive (FFA). The experimental EFE was a complex (1:1, v/v) of two enzyme...

Chicken meat consumption in Ghana has significantly increased in the last two decades. However, production has stagnated, and domestic producers are struggling to satisfy the local market. Consequently, Ghana is dependent on chicken imports. The imports have attracted criticism as they are believed to be negatively affecting producers. This paper u...

While the COVID-19 pandemic and associated government responses have had a substantial impact on consumers and meat supply chains worldwide, the effect on beef and sheep farming has been surprisingly small, short-lived and largely offset by other global influences. However, the impact has also varied greatly between countries and regions, largely d...

The present study aimed to identify and characterize prevailing dairy production systems in Ghana and compare production costs and profitability of identified production systems using the TIPI_CAL (Technology Impact, Policy Impact Calculation) model. Three typical farms were determined to represent each production system: intensive (GH-03), semiext...

Simple Summary Global finished cattle and sheep production and prices are becoming increasingly volatile due to various demand, supply, animal disease, and environmental factors. With beef and sheep production systems being globally connected, an approach monitoring the developments of global meat prices as received by producers becomes increasingl...

Global agricultural production is dynamic and complex as various factors impact it. Understanding global agricultural production systems and farmers’ decisions requires an internationally standardized and scientifically sound approach. The agri benchmark Network is a global, non-profit network of producers and agricultural experts which aims to ana...

The Brazilian dairy industry is still in its infancy, especially in regards to competitiveness on foreign markets. Therefore, it is facing difficult challenges to upgrade in terms of professionalisation, productivity and technological improvements, but also to avoid exclusion of small-scale farms. This study identifies the main factors affecting th...

Klimawandel, Politik und zugang zu Exportmärkten – das sind wichtige Größen am weltweiten Rindfleischmarkt. Wovon hängen die Rindfleischproduktion und das Preisgefüge im Inland und auf dem Weltmarkt ab? Geht es allein um Angebot und Nachfrage oder spielt die Politik auf lange Sicht die größere Rolle? Und was bewirken Extremwetterereignisse, mit den...

In einem zunehmend globalisierten Rindfleischmarkt hängt die Marktentwicklung von einer Vielzahl an Einflüssen ab. Auch Ereignisse am anderen Ende der Welt haben einen Einfluss darauf, wie sich bei uns der Rindfleischmarkt entwickelt.

The European Union (EU) is one of Turkey’s most important trade partners. A large number of Turkish agri-food processors, however, are still unable to produce in accordance with the EU specifications. Furthermore, it is uncertain how Turkish food producers perceive the EU regulations. Based on a questionnaire survey of 99 Turkish agri-food enterpri...

The agricultural sector is characterized by higher exposure to a variety of risks compared to the other economic sectors. Agricultural risks include production, market, credit, technological, institutional and human resource risks. Moreover, the agricultural risk environment is changing with high frequency and severity due to climate change and mar...
