Field and Plant Audits
Humane handling of animals is always the right thing to do. It is right for ethical reasons as well as right for good food processing. PMC is involved in the study and promotion of animal husbandry processes that improve health and reduce stress on animals during transportation & slaughter processes. Improved processes improve the quality of meat for consumers.
Audits of farms and processing facilities look at the facility and equipment as well as the condition of arriving animals. Smart processors look at equipment and handling processes from the perspective of the animals. Properly designed equipment and layout reduces stress on animals and employees. The net result is a more tender piece of protein for the consumer and more profitable return for the processor. Maintaining high standards for treatment of animals is a smart thing to do.
