“…Results in putrefaction of muscle foods persevered in the refrigerator (Jayasena and Jo, 2013). Apart from causing meat spoilage, microorganisms such as Escherichia coli 0157: H7, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp., also cause food-related infections (Emrobowansan and Hosua, 2022). Given the predicted global population increase, the demand for animal protein will also increase.…”

Research done by scholars on the utilization of the different parts of Moringa oleifera Lam. in improving livestock performance and boosting meat quality has increased over the years in many nations across the globe. Moringa oleifera has been identified as an essential bio-resourceful plant containing vital nutrients and bio-active compounds with proven functional properties, including antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. These properties are essential for promoting healthy and quality meat production. As a multi-purpose plant with well-established evidence of its beneficial attributes, such as its ability to withstand harsh environmental and weather conditions, rapid growth rate, resilience in drought conditions and high longevity, the use of M. oleifera to ameliorate emerging food challenges and food security could proof a worthwhile breakthrough in the meat industry. Moreover, its sustainable characteristics for mitigating climate change, make it an environmentally friendly option for meat production. Different plant parts of Moringa oleifera have been studied as additives, feed supplements and phytomedicine plants for different livestock, to improve their health, productivity and product quality (including meat, eggs and milk among others). In addition, the plant has been used to lessen microbial growth, lessen the process of oxidation and boost functional meat quality. However, its use in the meat sector is still limited. Conversely, the limited utilization might be due to paucity of information on the quantification of the exact amount of the varied segments of the M. oleifera (leaf, seed, root) required in meat, as well as the suitable form (extract, powder, or whole) of inclusion in meat. This information is crucial for the practical and effective application of M. oleifera to produce functional and healthy meat and its products. More studies are needed so as to broadly comprehend the beneficial prospects of the studied plant in improving the quality and consumer acceptability of meat fortification with the M. oleifera plant.

Epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of staphylococci other than Staphylococcus aureus from domestic animals and livestock in Africa: a systematic review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionStaphylococci other than Staphylococcus aureus (SOSA) in animals are becoming more pathogenic and antibiotic resistant and can potentially disseminate to humans. However, there is little synthesized information regarding SOSA from animals in Africa. This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of SOSA in companion animals (pets) and livestock in Africa.MethodThis systematic review (PROSPERO-CRD42021252303) was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines, and 75 eligible studies from 13 countries were identified until August 2022. Three electronic databases (Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science) were employed.ResultsThe frequently isolated SOSA were S. epidermidis, S. intermedius, S. pseudintermedius, S. xylosus, S. chromogenes, S. hyicus, M. sciuri, S. hominis, and S. haemolyticus. Thirty (40%) studies performed antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). Penicillin (58%) and tetracycline (28%) resistance were most common across all SOSA with high rates of resistance to aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and macrolides in some species. Resistance to last-resort antibiotics such as linezolid and fusidic acid were also reported. Limited data on strain typing and molecular resistance mechanisms precluded analysis of the clonal diversity of SOSA on the continent.ConclusionThe findings of this review indicate that research on livestock-associated SOSA in Africa is lacking in some regions such as Central and Western Africa, furthermore, research on companion animals and more advanced methods for identification and strain typing of SOSA need to be encouraged.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier: CRD42021252303.
