The quality control tools in question cover the whole chain from conception to consumption and include selection of genotype, feeding strategy, production system, pre-slaughter handling, stunning method and slaughter procedure, which separately or in combination can be used to meet customer demands for safety, technological quality, eating quality and nutritional quality together with sustainable and ethic quality aspects.
