Purpose of research: Basic research
Nowadays it is no longer sufficient to have only isolated dimensions of quality in view. In addition, it is necessary to include all aspects of processing and product quality: environmental protection, animal health and welfare as well as quality features of the pork and monitoring of drug residuals.
There is therefore a demand for an integrated CAQ-system (Computer Aided Quality assurance) in the whole pork production chain. Current pig production is widely distributed geographically and highly specialized. As a result, the available information is fragmented and the different enterprises like farms and slaughterhouses have no overall view of the pig production. A technical and an organizational integration between breeding, piglet production, fattening, slaughtering and processing is required. It is necessary for the various parties involved that the information exchange within the different steps is possible. Potentialities under this aspect are
Inter-organizational information systems for quality and animal health management in the pork chain
Combination of data bases from test results and production management
Assignment of analysis in a CAQ-concept is to supply additional data predictive and prescriptive information for the individual farmer as well as the adviser. CAQ is an instrument that helps in making professional analysis of data, detecting and solving problems and making plans for the future. In this context, a new information source, slaughterhouse blood, to support the net-chain actors is tested and validated. The collection, storage and analysis of data from the following fields therefore is investigated:
Performance control
Health control of the individual animal and the herd
Control of risk factors in the environment of the animals
In the last years several keystones of a CAQ-system have already been developed. Therefore the approach is to establish an inter-organizational information system for quality and herd health management in daily use to obtain valuable information for the regional monitoring of the herds in times of crisis and none crisis. A potential information source is blood at slaughter. Privately organized information systems that allow a secured and targeted data access by official monitoring bodies at relevant points facilitate the control and monitoring work of the veterinary authorities in the context of animal disease control.
