SEUROP BEEF AND PIG CARCASS CLASSIFICATION IN SLOVAKIA: A REVIEW
Keywords:
SEUROP, classification, carcass, beef, pigAbstract
Carcass classification plays an important role in Europe, as a marketing aid within and among countries and as a mean of increasing the precision of price reporting for administrative purposes. It also provides important information about the quality of the slaughter population. Since carcass classification systems were first introduced over fifty years ago, EU support schemes and the red meat industry have changed considerably. Changes in the SEUROP classification system of beef and pig carcasses also took place in Slovakia. This paper reviews actual system and legislation, as well as definition, categorization, presentation, conformation and fat cover of beef and pig carcasses at the slaughterhouses in Slovakia.
