Nutrient Density and Microbial Safety of Open-Air-Dried Beef Meat and Its Biochemical and Organ Histopathology Effects in Albino Rats: A Promising Ingredient for Complementary Food Formulation

<div>Liver and kidney histopathology of the rats. The upper three (a–c) are showing the photomicrographs of liver of standard diet/control, mixed, and meat powder, given 20 g of each types of the diets per day, respectively. CV: central vein. Kidney histopathology of rats that consumed the three diets (d–f) in the same order as above. The tissues were stained in H and E, examined in a microscope with power of 400x total magnification. PCT: proximal convoluted tubule; DCT: distal convoluted tubule; US: urinary space; G: glomerulus; MD: macula densa; P: podocytes.</div>
