Why is food safety important?
Many consumers worldwide consume livestock products on a daily basis because they are nutritious and necessary for human health and growth. However, livestock products are the most susceptible class of food products to contamination. Primarily this is in microbial form and includes such effective microbes as Escherischia Coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter. Unfortunately, milk, meat and eggs are ideal substrates for all these microbes that kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. Especially in developing country, limited resource base for livestock product production – need to use all that is produced safely and efficiently. Food spoilage is resource wasteful, costly and can adversely affect trade and consumer confidence.
