Abstract
Melatonin is a substance that is used in the husbandry of a variety of producing animals in agriculture. The substance is available for such applications as both injections and implants for the purpose of boosting melatonin levels in production animals. Alternatively, some research has indicated that melatonin production in agricultural animals can be increased through the use of supplemental light. This paper proposes a study to determine the effect of supplemental lighting on melatonin production in dairy cattle and to determine the effects of increased levels of melatonin production in dairy cattle on the productive output of such cattle. The paper also includes a literature review of the subject.
From the Paper
"In the contemporary period, diary farmers face increasing economic pressures through the interaction of demands for reduced market prices and increased costs of production inputs. Government subsidies no longer can be relied upon to provide stability in dairy farming. Thus, dairy farmers must seek ways to improve the productivity of their operations where possible. A failure to identify and implement effective strategies to improve productivity will lead to further declines in agriculture generally and for the quality of rural life more specifically."

Canned Foods: Are They Kosher
The Packaging of Kosher Foods
From the Paper
"Is it important to consider the packaging of kosher foods? Yes. If restrictions are used in canning these foods and in the food additives that are used, should not the packaging be kosher? It is important to understand that the printing inks and other types of packaging may have materials that are not kosher. "Many components of inks, coatings, adhesives, and packaging materials may be animal-based (glycerols, stearates, peptones, etc.), and several, such as caseins and lactic acids, are dairy in nature" (Lustig 140). If these materials come in contact with the food, then the item is no longer kosher. It is important for these inks to be certified as kosher."

Abstract
The advertising to which Americans (and consumers throughout the world) are subjected to on a daily basis represents a substantial investment by companies. Companies create advertising campaigns with the goal of promoting their products or services, and advertising is generally considered to have a substantial impact on demand.
From the Paper
"Introduction
The advertising to which Americans (and consumers throughout the world) are subjected to on a daily basis represents a substantial investment by companies. Companies create advertising campaigns with the goal of promoting their products or services, and advertising is generally considered to have a substantial impact on demand. If this were not the case, it is unlikely that companies would commit the resources that they do to the process. This research examines some of the ways in which advertising can affect demand for goods and services, and evaluates specific examples of Web-based promotion and their apparent goals with regard to changing demand. In addition, a computer software company's marketing program is evaluated in light of its goals and the way in which it seeks to modify demand."

Abstract
This paper examines how four decades of impressive economic growth, rising per capita income, and growing opportunities have provided millions with a better standard of living in the Asia-Pacific region and how, as a result of greater prosperity, Asians eat more meat, fish, and dairy products. It looks at how, coupled with a growing population, this increased demand has the potential to overwhelm global commodity markets and therefore create shortages.

From the Paper
"There has been a significant increase in the amount of arable land in developing countries; yet, the Asian region has gained a minute portion of available land to increase crop production. " Developing countries will expand their total amount of arable land by 120 million hectares by 2030, this includes only 15 million hectares in Asia. India and China together account for about 28% of the developing countries' arable land. In South Asia, nearly 90% of arable land is already in use, whereas in East Asia, 40 % of arable land remains unused" (Ivory 2001, 17)."

Nestle, 2006.
A review of the Nestle Corporation.
1,042 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 4 sources, APA, AU$ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at the Nestle Corporation, said to be one of the multinationals whose presence in several industries rather than just one is equivalent to a complete vertical or horizontal diversification. According to the paper, Nestle has diversified from the traditional food-related products, such as dairy products, breakfast cereals or chocolate and ice cream, into pet care, childcare (baby foods especially), wellness and nutritional solutions, as well as beverages and bottled waters.
From the Paper
"Diversification and expansion was achieved both by acquisitions, as was the case with the American food producer Carnation, in the 1980s, and by strategic partnerships with other companies. An example in this sense was Nestle's partnership with Coca Cola in the early 1990s, an alliance in ready-to-drink teas and coffees. The alliance meant that Nestle could benefit from Coca Cola's worldwide bottling system and expertise in prepared beverages."
"The company sustains and encourages a constant product portfolio diversification and expansion through two means: innovation and renovation. What this means is that the company is constantly both reactive to the needs and requirements of its targeted groups of consumers and proactive, by innovation, to create and implement new consumer trends on the market.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at vegetarianism. According to the paper, vegetarianism excludes meat, meaning beef, poultry, fish and their by-products, and usually dairy products and eggs. The paper reviews the pros and cons of a vegetarian diet.
From the Paper
" Moreover, a vegetarian diet may not be sufficient for children (Farley 2001). Dr. Gretchen Hill of the University of Missouri food science and human nutrition commented that it would be unhealthy for children to exclude red meat in their diet. She believed that these children would develop health problems by the time they are 40, 50 or 60 years old because of imbalanced micronutrients, particularly iron, zinc and copper. Meat is an important source of these three nutrients, which help build body immunity and red blood cells and strengthen blood vessels. She said that children cannot meet their zinc needs without eating meat."

VIII. Conclusion
From the Paper
"We often talk about protecting animals and giving them their rights. Animal rights' activists argue about which rights are due to animals and which rights to animals are due to human beings. I argue that this dialogue is unhelpful to animals, just as it is unhelpful to human beings. Rather than argue about rights, I contend that we should construct a system of duties and obligations under which human beings will have varied responsibilities towards animals. Such a system already exists under Jewish law, a system devoid of human rights and animal rights, but rich with human responsibility and obligations towards mankind, animals, and the environment."

Starbucks Corporation, 2005.

2,915 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 9 sources, MLA, AU$ 93.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper stresses that the Starbucks Corporation believes its true advantage is the quality of its employees, which it establishes by creating a prideful workforce and by offering excellent benefits and employee stock ownership programs. The author points out that management focuses on workgroup productivity by empowering employees to make decisions without management referral or input, by encouraging employees to think of themselves as part of the business, by avoiding a hierarchical organizational structure, and by having no formal organizational chart. The paper relates that a primary source of globalization conflict for Starbucks is the protesters for free trade coffee and the Organic Consumers Organization, who want Starbucks to remove genetically engineered ingredients from their food and dairy products on a worldwide basis, to improve working conditions for coffee plantation workers, and to brew and seriously promote fair trade coffee in all cafes.
From the Paper
"The perfect example of individual differences and personality and the ability to compromise is that of Howard Schultz (Starbucks CEO for 11 years) and Jerry Baldwin (Chairman of the Board) A trip to Milan in 1983 inspired Schultz to bring the European coffee shop to the United States. He saw Italians gather at hundreds of street corner espresso bars and he thought he could bring the idea to the states. This idea was met with much resistance. It took nearly a year for Schultz to convince the board to let him test the espresso bar. Starbuck's sixth store, which opened in April 1984, became the first one designated to sell beverages and the first one in downtown Seattle."

2,216 words (approx. 8.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 74.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the world's milk production depends on agencies such as the FDA and national cooperation between dairy farms. It also looks at how other suggestions for a comprehensive milk quality improvement system include the investigation of the health status of raw milk, as well as the clear delineation of responsibilities for quality investigation, for activities and processes to improve milk quality. Additionally, the paper examines how processes such as pasteurization have created an extended shelf-life for milk and milk products and how the government could also implement an extension service for milk producers, which would secure the necessary problem areas and would be aimed at obtaining the highest degree of efficiency and synergy.
Outline:
Introduction
Benefits of Milk
Milk Shelf-Life
History of Milk Processing
Milk Safe Handling
Milk-Borne Diseases
Federal Agencies & Milk
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Milk, a natural liquid food, is one of the most nutritionally complete foods, adding high-quality protein, fat, milk, sugar, essential vitamins and minerals to one's diet. Milk contains bacteria that, when improperly handled, may create conditions where the bacteria can multiply. The microorganisms that constitute bacteria can find their way to the hair, udder, and teats of dairy cows and can move up the teat canal. Some of these germs cause an inflammatory disease of the udder called mastitis while others enter the milk without causing any harm to the animal. In addition, organisms can enter the milk supply during the milking process when equipment is used in milking, transporting, and storing the milk is not properly cleaned and sanitized. "

"NAFTA AND UNITED STATES AGRICULTURE
Introduction
This research examines the effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on agricultural industries in the United States. Within the agricultural sector, an emphasis is placed on the meat products industry, and within the meat products industry, an emphasis is placed on the beef industry.
From Perception to Reality
Many Americans tend to think that NAFTA will greatly harm the United States economy. This perception was supported by Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan in 1996 and by third-party candidate Ross Perot in 1992. The gist of this perception is that free trade generally and NAFTA specifically will rob the United States of industrial jobs and destroy global market.."

Abstract
This well-researched paper details the main components and significance of the food pyramid. The familiar pyramid is comprised of six basic food groups, which include fats, protein, dairy products, fruits, vegetables and complex carbohydrates. This paper examines the main goals of the food pyramid, which was introduced, by the USDA in 1992, as a guide for Americans to aid in weight control, while balancing their nutritional intake. This paper stresses the importance of combining a healthy diet with regular physical activity, while limiting the intake of fats, sugars and salt. This paper details what needs to be done to maintain one's current weight as well as the measures to be taken in order to lose weight. This paper delves into the growing obesity problem prevalent in America, amongst adults and children, as well as the need for increased physical activity in the school system. This paper also discusses the views of those who oppose the USDA's nutritional guidelines, such as the The Harvard School of Public Health, that contends that the food pyramid is not the best diet, for addressing and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

From the Paper
"More than age, gender, weight and the amount of exercise or physical activity, the overhaul in the food guide pyramid was influenced by the need to effect that behavioral change through adequate but moderate nutritional choices, according to Hentges of the USDA. He said that this revised guide addressed most the sad fact that most Americans did not exercise regularly but had a sedentary lifestyle. It also called greater attention to concerns over trans fats and the benefits derived from whole grains. It offered more details on the amounts of calories in each group for daily intake. This revised version consisted of recommended servings of fruits, vegetables, grains, meat and milk, based on 12 calorie levels of 1,000 to 3,200 calories. The former food guide was based on only three levels, namely 1,600; 2,200; and 2,800 calorie levels."
