Beskrivning
World egg consumption is increasing, particularly in developing countries. This creates new challenges, particularly for more intensive systems which have played a major role in increasing production and productivity. Intensive systems face a continuing threat from zoonoses. At the same time, consumer expectations about both safety, sensory and nutritional quality have never been higher. There is also increasing concern about the environmental impact of and animal welfare issues in egg production.Drawing on an international range of expertise, this book reviews key research addressing these issues. Part 1 looks at developments in understanding of egg composition and chemistry. The book then reviews pathogens in eggs, including methods of transmission and techniques to prevent or remove contamination. The final part of the book reviews advances in understanding, measuring and enhancing the sensory and nutritional quality of eggs.Achieving sustainable production of eggs Volume 1: Safety and quality will be a standard reference for poultry and food scientists in universities, government and other research centres and companies involved in egg production. It is accompanied by Volume 2 which reviews animal welfare and sustainability issues.

Dr Yoshinori Mine is Full Professor in the Department of Food Science at the University of Guelph, Canada. Professor Mine is on the editorial board of a number of leading journals. Winner of a number of awards, he is internationally renowned for his contribution to research on egg science and the nutraceutical properties of eggs for human health. He has published 5 books, 37 book chapters, 15 review articles and 182 papers in peer-reviewed international journals.Dr Yves Nys is former Research Director for the Poultry Unit at INRAE, France. As a scientist, he studied calcium metabolism in hens (eggshell quality and fabric), mineral nutrition and egg quality (nutritional value and biological activity of egg proteins). With over 200 publications, Dr Nys is regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities on optimising the nutrition of laying hens. The recipient of a number of awards for his research, he has served as Vice-President of the WPSA, president of the European Federation and has coordinated two major EU research projects on egg quality.
