Method For Improving Animal Food Product Quality

摘要

The invention relates to food animal care and husbandry. Disclosed is a novel method of evaluating the production characteristics of a food animal or group of food animals, is provided. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of determining the overall oxidative status of a sample taken from a food animal by measuring the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the sample. The measured ORP value of the sample is then used to review the animal's environment and, if necessary, adjust the environment of the animal. In order to improve the production characteristics of food products from the animal. Also provided is a method of using the ORP value of a food product to determine production characteristics of the food product.
