CAROLINE’S TIPS FOR BETTER MEAT QUALITY

Dec 16, 2019

Caroline Mitchell is member of the Topigs Norsvin Meat Group. This is a group of researchers and meat specialists from around the world who use their combined knowledge to support technological quality, eating quality and all other aspects of pork quality.

Caroline’s tips for better meat quality are:

The consumer is the most important member of the supply chain. Without a consumer we have no need to produce meat. Therefore, business decisions at all stages of a supply chain should be made with the consumer in mind.
The starting point of any meat supply chain is the genetics. Choose the best genetics and build in optimization from there.
Meat quality does not negatively affect production efficiencies, often by improving production efficiencies meat quality is also improved.
To be able to manage traits we need to be able to measure them, Topigs Norsvin is continuously carrying out meat quality assessments, across multiple markets, to ensure that the Topigs Norsvin product is always improving.
All stages of the supply chain affect meat quality. So use the combined expertise of the Topigs Norsvin global services teams to improve meat quality.

Video: Dream Projects Made Real | BX Summer Contest Winner Stories

Three women. Three properties. Three summers that changed everything.

Meet the 2025 Kubota BX Summer Contest winners — and watch what happened when their biggest plans finally had the power to match them.

Akesh transformed her 9.8-acre property in just 3 months — clearing a historic barn, building a cottage garden, and growing vegetable beds for her family. Kathleen rebuilt her yard from the ground up after the 2023 wildfires devastated her property — creating a space where her children could play and grow again. Teresa reclaimed her family's 97-acre Ontario farm — moving topsoil, restoring fields, and honouring her mother's memory one season at a time.

Three dream projects. Three stories of vision, resilience, and hard work. One unforgettable summer with a Kubota BX.

"The BX made everything happen so quick." — Akesh "I feel like I can make a huge difference." — Kathleen "It's a dream come true. The answer to my prayers." — Teresa
