Constant daily monitoring of carcase trim in factories will commence from the end of November this year.
After repeated calls from the IFA, Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed has confirmed that up to 150 technical officers will be trained in how to monitor trim correctly in factories.
In a letter to the IFA, Minister Creed wrote: “The Veterinary Public Health Inspection staff, in conjunction with the Beef Carcase Classification section, are currently putting in place a training and reporting system.”
