“…In the study moisture values determined from beef were similar to the values found in other studies (Ngom et al, 2022;Salim et al, 2023;Santana et al, 2023). However, the moisture value in Korean Hanwoo cattle was reported to be lower (69.21%) than the determined value (Bostami et al, 2023).…”

“…The protein values found for cattle in the study were similar to some of the values found in the researches (Hamed Hammad Mohammed et al, 2020;Pouzo et al, 2023;Santana et al, 2023), higher than some (Salim et al, 2023) and lower than some (Oliveira et al, 2021;Ngom et al, 2022). While the values reported for sheep were in agreement with (Costa et al, 2009;Romero-Bernal et al, 2017;Radzik-rant et al, 2023) or higher than literature reports and findings (Mioč et al, 2007;Lima et al, 2022;Latoch et al, 2023;Lunesu et al, 2023;Uushona et al, 2023).…”

“…The fat ratio in the meat composition varies depending on various factors (Williams, 2007;Pereira and Vicente, 2013;Marangoni et al, 2015). Since the muscle development is higher in male animals, the protein ratio is proportionally higher, fat content is lower (Ngom et al, 2022;Santana et al, 2023). Carcass score is also one of the parameters to be taken into account as it affects fatness (Rubayet Bostami et al, 2018).…”

The study aimed to comparatively examine meats in terms of chemical composition originating from beef, lamb, chicken, and rabbit consumed in Türkiye and to reveal their superior aspects compared to each other and also to determine the place of rabbit meat, which is not commonly consumed among other meats. As material of the study 48 meat samples were used, 12 from each of the beef, lamb, chicken, and rabbit species provided that each of them belonged to a different animal. Moisture, ash, crude protein, and crude fat levels of the meat samples were compared between meat sources. The highest value in terms of fat and ash ratio were determined in lamb meat (P<0.001). Chicken meat had the highest protein ratio. Rabbit and lamb meats were followed, respectively (P<0.001). In terms of moisture beef meat had the highest values and there was no significant differences between other source of meat. In conclusion, as rabbit meat had higher protein ratio and lower fat ratio compared with other meat sources, it would be beneficial to expand the production and consumption. Chicken meat was advised to include in diets of patients suffering from obesity or cardio-vasculer diseases because of the highest protein and lower fat content. Lamb meat should be an indispensable part of diets due to its rich ash content. As the highest moisture content beef it could be preferred for making different kinds of meat by-products and consumed by the majority of people.

Brucellosis is a neglected zoonotic disease affecting the livestock sector in low-income countries. Cameroon, a lower-middle-income country in sub-Saharan Africa, has reported the prevalence of brucellosis in regions where livestock rearing is the principal economic activity. However, the presence of the disease has not been reported in southern regions receiving cattle for consumption by their population. In addition, there is no report on the Brucella species circulating in Cameroon. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of brucellosis in cattle slaughtered in the Buea and Douala slaughterhouses and identify the Brucella species circulating among these animals. A total of 576 cattle serum samples were collected from the Buea and Douala slaughterhouses and analysed by ELISA. Following the ELISA assay, all samples were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The bcsp31 gene primers were used for the genus-specific PCR. All bcsp31-positive samples were subjected to species-specific PCR. Primers targeting the IS711 gene sequence were used to identify the abortus-melitensis-ovis-suis species. The prevalence of brucellosis in both locations was 3.1% and 5.4% using the ELISA and PCR assays, respectively. Out of the 18 ELISA-positive samples, 5 (27%) were positive with PCR, while 26 (4.7%) of the ELISA-negative samples were positive with PCR. The Brucella species in circulation were identified using the Sanger sequencing technique. The sequences were 99.3% to 100% identical to the B. abortus strain BJ1-23 and the B. abortus strain BJ1-1 of the 31 kDa antigen (bcsp31) gene from India. This is the first report on the genotypic characterisation of Brucella species in Cameroon and confirms brucellosis in cattle at the Buea and Douala slaughterhouses.
