YIELD OPTIMIZATION

DEBONING

Descriptions of deboning methods fitted into Your lines is a great tool for the line managers.

SLAUGTERING

Optimization of slaughtering lines is often depended on the culture in the factory as well as in the country. At which point are the pigs paid for and who owns what part of the carcass. There are several points in an optimization that will benefit the receiver of the carcass and not the slaughtering department itself. We all know the handling of live animals affects the finished meat product etc.

METT’S therefore an OPTIMIZATION OF SLAUGHTERING LINES, include all points in the process, from LIVE animal, the killing, across the skin treatment, and through the slaughtering process, to chilling.

  • Live animals.
    • The handling of live animals on the farm, during transportation, and offloading has effect on the meat quality.
    • EU laws require a course for all staff working in the stables.
    • Stressed animals develop PSE.
    • METT’S has the expertise to prepare You for these requirements so You will stand strong.
  • Killing.
    • Co2 or electric. Again, this depends on traditions and animal welfare groups in the country.
