Participatory risk assessment for harvesting of impala (Aepyceros melampus) and the distribution of by-products
BACKGROUND: The meat obtained from trophy hunting, culling and harvesting indigenous game animals has been used in the past by biltong (traditional dried meat) hunters, local butchers and for export markets. The edible by-products, currently discarded, could be used as a renewable source of prote...

Participatory risk analysis to ensure food safety of edible offal from game meat
Game harvesting in South Africa generally leaves behind edible by-products, which could be a low-cost source of protein for poor people in rural areas. Seven professional and nine recreational hunters were interviewed, a game harvest and trophy hunt attended and literature reviewed, in order to d...
