RESULTS OF SEUROP PIG CARCASS CLASSIFICATION IN ROMANIA, SINCE BEGINNING OF IMPLEMENTATION UP TO PRESENT
Abstract
According to the European Union regulation, pig carcass classification effectively started in Romania in March 2006. Since then, it was implemented as a compulsory activity in all slaughterhouses, regardless their size. The main purpose of animal carcass classification system implementation was, like in any other European Union country: i/ to perform a unitary, qualified animal carcass quality evaluation; ii/ to mark (number) carcasses for commercial purposes; iii/ to solve the payment problems among producers and buyers and iv/ to encourage animal breeders to breed more productive (muscular) animals, according to the needs and trends on the consumers' market. The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight into the results of pig carcass classification system in Romania, since 2004, when a national test was performed in order to estimate the lean meat content, up to present. The authors are trying to provide an answer to the question: has the SEUROP pig classification system in Romania reached the purpose for which it was developed and implemented?
