Microbiological Control 1. Evaluation of Potentially Hazardous Foods Food is potentially hazardous food if it consists in whole or in part of milk or milk products, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, or other ingredients capable of supporting rapid and progressive growth of infectious or toxigenic micro-organisms. Specific recommendations for ensuring the safety of potentially hazardous food are stated along with sanitary practices recommended for the storage, preparation, display, and…

Antibiotics Resistance Scare The misuse of antibiotic has led to the increase of antibiotics resistance in individuals. The public believes that medical professionals are to blame for the overuse of antibiotics but the agricultural sector should share some of the blame too. In the article by Jen Christensen “Pediatricians want farmers to use fewer antibiotics” (2015), her objective was to regulate the amount of antibiotics given to animals because of the after effect of consuming meat by humans…

Aging is inevitable in all living things. As individuals age, a number of things occur, both mental and physical. Graying hair and wrinkled skin are external signs of aging and the most noticeable. Cognitive changes, which are associated with mental processes such as sensation and perception, memory, intelligence, language, thought, and problem-solving, occur among aging adults (American Psychological Association, 2015). People age at different rates depending on genetics, diet, culture,…

Do Americans really know what lurks in the meat they consume? For, many decades corporations have turned raising animals for human consumption into a multibillion dollar business. Big business has no concern for the animals or the humans they feed, their whole motive is to make the product cheaper and sell it at the highest price they can. The result is an unsafe product, treacherous work place, and horrid conditions for the animals. How can this happen; how can Americans be so oblivious to…

By collaborating our work from various resources, we established that antibiotics have harmful side effects on the environment. When animals are administered antibiotics, it kills off other bacteria and allows antibiotic resistant bacteria to survive and multiply. This causes contamination of animal waste, which then comes into contact with water, soil, or air (Food, Farm, Animals, and Drugs 2014). Horizontal gene transfer is also a big concern for the environment. In recent years, there has…

(Kenner, “Food”). Salatin maintains a small farm, but the decision not to medicate animals can be transferred to large businesses. Denmark is the top exporter of pork in the world, and remains so even though it has completely banned nontherapeutic antimicrobials from animal husbandry (Hungate, et al., “Ominous”). According to Martin, because of Denmark’s strict restraints on antibiotics, the levels of resistant bacteria have dropped in the livestock and humans in under two years (Martin,…

Health. This information is valuable to my argument because it provides information on the dangers of antibiotics in cattle feed. 4. Oliver, P. Stephen., Shelton, E. Murinda., & Jayarao, M. (2010). Impact of Antibiotic Use in Adult Dairy Cows on Antimicrobial Resistance of Veterinary and Human Pathogens: A Comprehensive Review. Foodborne Pathogens and Disease. DOI: 10.1089/fpd.2010.0730. This is a peer -reviewed source. The source is bias because the authors’ focus on the advantages associated…

Infection Prevention Megan Scott Rasmussen College Author Note This research is being submitted on February 26th, 2017 for Julie Deane’s NUR2155 Fundamentals of Professional Nursing course. Every year National Patient Safety Goals are set by the Joint Commission to acknowledge specific concerns in each health care setting. The purpose of these goals are to improve patient safety by identifying the problems and how to solve them (Joint Commission, 2016). Although prevalent, infections…

Ammonia is a compound composed of nitrogen and hydrogen, having the formula NH3. The ammonia molecule is formed by sp3 orbitals as it has a tetrahedral geometry and a trigonal pyramidal shape. Ammonia has an experimentally determined bond angle of 106.7°, and an a bond length of 101.7 pm. The nitrogen atom in the molecule has a lone electron pair, which gives the molecule a dipole moment and polarity. Ammonia’s lone electron pair makes NH3 a base, a proton acceptor, and gives it the ability to…

Citrus is the general term for plants belonging to the family Rutaceae (Fejzic and Cavar, 2014). Citrus fruits are one of the important horticultural crops, with worldwide agricultural production of over 80 million tons per year. Brazil, China, United States, Mexico, India and Spain are the leading producers (Karoui, I. J and Marzouk, B, 2013, Marti et al., 2009). The most common citrus fruits are sweet orange (C. sinensis Osbeck), mandarin (C. reticulata Blanco), lime (C. aurantifolia Christm),…
