THE IMPORTANCE OF MEAT QUALITY

NucléusTM distinguishes itself from its main competitors in that it pays special attention to the quality of meat. For several decades, meat was sampled according to all technological characteristics (maximum pH level, color, water holding capacity, etc.). This research has led us to produce a high quality pork product that meets the industry's expectations.

For a long time now, NucléusTM has collected much data from the slaughterhouse: pH 6 - pH24 - water retention - colorimetry - yield. In the sire line, 30% of the selection’s total goal is focused on meat quality.

NucléusTM has two separate lines of Pietrain, here in the picture on the right.

Up to 2013, we have measured IMF (Intra Muscular Fat) on live animals by scanner and loin pieces (NIR methods). Our data is compared monthly with a World data base located in Canada.

All our Pietrain boars are certified on boar taint transmission by a dedicated method validated by INRA (National Research Institute).
