**4. Some suggested solutions for the elimination of problems of human diseases associated with the consumption of beef and milk from bovine sources**

Livestock such as cattle could cause negative impact on food security by transmitting diseases to humans through the consumption of contaminated meat, milk *Impact of Beef and Milk Sourced from Cattle Production on Global Food Security DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.99322*

and by-products [3]. These diseases could limit peoples' ability to work and earn income to meet their needs. The intake of livestock foods and by-products could also cause some harm to the nutrition and health of humans through the transmission of zoonotic diseases such as listeriosis and toxoplasmosis. These diseases were stated to cause about 2.2 million deaths a year, mostly among the low and middleincome countries [20]. In a research [1] reported that the global burden of food borne diseases resulted from 31 hazards which were considered in 2010 to result to 33 million disability adjusted years (DALYs), and that 98% of this burden fell within the low and middle-income countries. In view of these afore mentioned, efforts to promote the consumption of livestock derived foods such as beef, milk and by-products should go along with suggested solutions to improve and assure food safety [1].
