 a. Weight comparison vs abattoir scale
 b. Individual animal ID
 c. Individual animal grading
 d. Grading verification per animal
 e. Individual weight and sales value
 f. This allows forward / reverse auditing
 g. Reduce "carcass shrinkage"
 h. Detailed abattoir report to producer
 i. Increase PRECISION "farming"

Quality verified Red Meat is possible

3. Improve professional service to producer
4. Proves "ownership - traceability"

6. Increase value add to RETAIL section

General comments:

The "finished" steers are delivered to an abattoir. Here they may be scanned or entered manually into the abattoir register.

The carcasses can now also be identified with a number that links up with the animal's ear tag. This animal ID is absolutely UNIQUE (Patent protected) and therefore cannot be confused with another animal. This number is utilised to resolve any disputes between producer and abattoir.

 

--------------------

Farmers are now in a favourable position to ask for these unique animal identification numbers to appear on their Abattoir Reports. The system now also allows abattoirs owners the opportunity to reflect the animals identity 100% correctly.

All animals that have been identified CA  (contagious abortion) and TB (Tuberculosis) positive may now be identified through the system and "culled" out of the livestock sector for ZOONOTIC diseased animals. This enhances food safety and quality.

These animals are not allowed to be re-sold at auctions, feedlots or from one farmer to another. These animals are by LAW to be culled through a recognised, registered abattoir. The carcasses are also processed through specified procedures to enable further usage of such meat.

Consumer confidence

 

For the first time in the history of South Africa, a central data base exists which can now assist in providing healthy, approved animals for human consumption.

This central data base has the ability to improve consumer confidence in South African produced red meat, EVEN more.

The system also has the ability to differentiate South African red meat that is "quality approved" vs IMPORTED red meat with no traceability from "FARM to PLATE" especially regarding notifiable diseases.

-------------------

The animal health and recorded treatments logged on the GMPBasic ™ software is in a position as to provide abattoirs with necessary information. This information may assist in complying with the individual animal health status for regulation requirements. eg HACCP 

Quality beef / lamb / goat, has a longer shelf life than poorly prepared and "cooled" meat. This high value good quality protein sustenance is a necessary supplement in a healthy and balanced diet.

GMPBasic™ has the potential to assist in improving and maintaining good food safety from "pasture to plate"

Enjoy your Red Meat with confidence !!!
