Topigs Norsvin has established a global Meat Group to identify and develop knowledge and solutions
to the challenges faced by slaughterhouses, processors, packers and retailers working in the pork
sector.
The global group consists of members with a variety of backgrounds and knowledge of meat science,
pig slaughter, processing, packing and retail. The group is already involved in presenting performance
and global trends in meat traits to international audiences of businesses utilizing Topigs Norsvin
products. The group has also been active in researching solutions to issues arising in processing
plants and identifying key innovations aimed at further improving the eating quality of Topigs Norsvin
genetics.
The Topigs Norsvin Meat Group has access to a huge amount of meat quality data collected on
Topigs Norsvin products. The group is therefore able to communicate with packers and retailers to
accurately explain the expected performance of the product post-slaughter. The group also has the
skills to audit the supply chain if a product is not matching that expectation.
Improving the knowledge of how Topigs Norsvin animals perform and are used at slaughter, the point
where the genetics return their financial investment to pig producers, enables Topigs Norsvin to
assess the profitability and utility of their lines. The knowledge also assists the support to their everincreasing
customer base with integrated businesses who own both pig production facilities as well as
slaughter and processing plants.
