Invitation

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the International 59 th Meat Industry Conference to be

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME - TOPICS FOR PAPERS SUBMISSION

Please refer to Conference web site: www.meatcon2017.co.rs for further information on the
Conference Programme.

The Conference Programme encompasses the five main pillars, i.e. Food Safety, Food Quality,
Food Technology, Food related Legislative and Food & Environment. Within these five pillars,
the range of grouped subtopics are provided (emerging foodborne pathogenic microorganisms,
physical and chemical hazards in food, food risk assessment and risk management, food
quality, food packaging, shelf life methods & modelling, etc). The composition of the
Conference Programme emphasizes the importance of the holistic approach to food safety and
quality issues, in the continuum “from farm to fork”.

Please take into consideration that Conference Programme also offers the opportunity to
address other food chains, apart from the meat chain only, e.g. milk/dairy, eggs,
fish/shellfish, honey, feed. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to submit your research
results and/or review papers reflecting the most relevant issues and novel approaches in
the chain of food of animal origin.

A traditional multidisciplinary character of the Conference is reflected through the key topic of
the Programme:

"BETTER FOOD-BETTER LIFE"

We hope that you will be joining us for the International 59th Meat Industry Conference to
sharing experiences, innovative approaches and setting up the new milestones.

We look forward to welcoming you in Serbia.
