“…Furthermore nowadays, people are aware about chicken and egg's high nutrients necessary for human health [24]. However, the level of consumption observed in our study is lower than those reported in developed countries like Chine, United States and European Union annually in previous studies [5,6,14]. Chicken (100%) was more likely than eggs (99.4%).…”

“…The assessment of associated health risk worldwide is generally based on production and consumption data [10][11][12]. In contrast to developed countries where data on chicken meat and eggs are available and regularly updated, this is not always the case in developing countries [3,13,14]. Especially in Cameroon, poultry sector also plays an important role in poverty alleviation by means of incomes generation and household food security, but data on chicken products consumption in Cameroon date back to 2009 [15,16].…”

The presence of veterinary drugs in poultry products constitutes a potential danger for population health, chicken being one of the most consumed of these products. To assess consumer's exposure, data on consumption amounts, factors influencing consumption and risk perception for consumers constitute the first step. Therefore, there is a need to have data on chicken consumption, factors influencing and risk perception for consumers. A cross-sectional survey using questionnaires was used to collect information from 905 households in the Center, Littoral and West regions of Cameroon between August 2017 and April 2018. The results showed that per capita consumption of both chicken and eggs per month were 1.2 kg (14.4 kg/ year) and 0.5 kg (6 kg/year) for the Centre, 0.9 kg (10.8 kg/year) and 0.5 kg (6 kg/year) for the Littoral, 0.8 kg (9.6 kg/year) and 0.6 kg (7.2 kg/year) for West regions. Chicken and eggs consumption is determined by household incomes, household member's number and locality. Only 230 households affirmed to be aware of the usage of chemicals in chicken farming and 220 (95.6%) of them affirmed that chemicals are improper used by farmers. Ninety six households (10.6%) affirmed that all chicken types present the same risk. Consumption of chicken and eggs is good for the body, but great attention should be paid in their origins and to the recommendations for the Food Safety and Inspection Services on-line materials during chicken and eggs handling.

“…China is the world's largest meat market, consuming 18% of the chicken produced worldwide. Moreover, current forecasts and projection studies have predicted that the expansion of the poultry market will continue in the future [1]. Indeed, poultry meat, particularly breast meat, is popular due to its healthy nutritional profile, fitting the modern consumer demand for low fat, sodium, and cholesterol [2].…”

Due to the increasing demand for producing chickens with high meat quality, there is a need to determine its mode of action on chicken meat quality traits across a wider age spectrum. In this study, five groups of 200 male Da-Heng meat type birds were reared until slaughter age of 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 days old and breast muscle performance, meat quality traits, and myofiber characteristics were evaluated. The larger body weight and breast weight of chicken are based on larger myofiber diameter and area, less myofiber density for the older birds than younger birds. There was an age effect on all meat quality traits of chicken breast muscle (p < 0.05). Older chickens often presented a higher pH, lower drip loss, higher shear force, darker, and redder breast meat. The correlation coefficients showed that myofiber characteristics played an important role in breast pH values, drip loss, and meat color (p < 0.05). Besides, significant correlations were also found between meat quality traits (p < 0.05). Further studies are needed to explore the biochemical character and potential molecular mechanism of chicken breast muscle to determine the factors that causes these age-related differences in meat quality in the current study.

“…The changes, especially meat consumption, draw some scholars' attention. Zhang et al thinks the recent trend of rising income may lead to increased meat consumption in the near future [29]. Chao et al predicts that per capita meat consumption will increase to 85 kg per year in 2030 and more than 100 kg per year in 2040, which is still lower than that in some western developed countries [30].…”

Food security is the basis of social stability and development. Maintaining sufficient amounts of arable land is essential for China's food security. In this paper, we consider the relationship between arable land demand to grain demand and production capacity. The changes in national population, grain production, and consumption from 2000 to 2015 are analyzed. Then, we forecast the respective possible changes in the future and accordingly forecast the arable land demand in different possible situations. The results show that the pressure to maintain sufficient amounts of arable land in 2030 may be greater than that in 2040.The higher pressure is due to larger population and lower production capacity. To ensure food security in China, we insist on maintaining 120 million ha of arable land, the "red line" for food security, and improve the arable land productivity to ensure domestic production and self-sufficiency. In addition, residents should be guided to cultivate sound food consumption habits in order to control per capita grain demand. Lastly, we should also make full use of international resources and markets to relieve the pressure on domestic resources and environments.
