New video on our channel: Camel meat in the lab. It's much more complicated than you think! Why stretch the meat?

PIONERPRODUKT .by continues to study the agriculture of Kazakhstan. This time we are at the Antigen enterprise in the Almaty region, Karasai district, Abay village.
Antigen NPP LLP is a Kazakhstani research and production company operating at the intersection of biotechnology, veterinary science and medicine. The company specializes in the creation of high-quality immunobiological drugs and diagnostic test systems that meet the strictest international standards of GMP, GLP and GDP. The company's products are developed taking into account the unique features of the epidemiological situation in the region and are successfully used both in Kazakhstan and abroad.

it is at this enterprise that we will study camel MILK and MEAT that we received at the farm of TOO Alakol-Agro, Alakol district, Zhetysu region.
In today's series, we study camel meat. To be honest, I thought that everything was much simpler.
We will look at the process of scientific research on the quality and safety of camel product samples, including meat and fat from the camel hump. We will study physicochemical indicators, such as fat and protein content, and also check the products for the presence of pesticides, heavy metals and residual amounts of antibiotics . We will pay special attention to the unique properties of camel products and the need to develop specific standards for them, since existing standards developed for other livestock may not be applicable to camels.

The laboratory tests involve several stages. To determine the fat content of meat and hump fat, samples are prepared, weighed, and treated with chemicals and then heated. The meat is also tested for extensibility and strength using specialized equipment to assess its texture and quality, which are affected by factors such as the animal’s age, storage conditions, and nutritional value. We also discussed the problem of antibiotic resistance caused by the accumulation of veterinary drug residues in food products and the importance of monitoring antibiotic levels, especially in organic products. Camels have a different metabolism from other ruminants, which affects how they eliminate drugs from their bodies.

The final part of the research is devoted to the analysis of radionuclide content, in particular cesium and strontium isotopes, using a gamma-beta spectrometer. This analysis is an important indicator of safety according to international standards. The results for the camel meat samples tested showed no excess of permissible levels of radionuclide content.
