The most comprehensive review of meat research is the Report of the Review Committee of the Conference on Cooperative Meat Investigations, published by the National Livestock and Meat Board (21). The committee undertook the enormous task of reviewing and abstracting all of the noteworthy meat research literature in English, as well as some unpublished work, for the twenty-year period, 1925 through 1945. Distribution of the report was limited, and it is not now available for purchase however, copies are to be found in the agricultural colleges of the country. 

In the case of each of these organizations, and this includes the agricultural experiment stations, it is possible to obtain complete lists of available publications upon request. These lists prove to be very useful in locating much of the recent literature in the field. Also useful from the standpoint of their surveys of research projects currently in progress are the annual reports, or their counterparts, which are published by each of these organizations. The annual report 128 of the National Livestock and Meat Board should be added, for it surveys the research projects which the Board sponsors in various universities.
