mEATquality (English)

Empresa Premium

Linking extensive husbandry practices to the intrinsic quality of pork and broiler meat.

mEATquality analyses consumer attitudes, perceptions, and preferences regarding sustainable meat production. The husbandry factors that determinate ‘extensiveness’ can be applied and optimised in organic, free-range and conventional production systems.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101000344.

🔬 New study by mEATquality!
Adding linseed, apple pomace & milk thistle (LAM) to pig diets:
✅ Improves pork fatty acid profile (more omega-3, better n-6/n-3 ratio)
✅ Enhances oxidative stability & meat tenderness
✅ Boosts antioxidant activity, lowers inflammation
✅ No impact on growth performance
👉 Healthier pigs, better meat quality!
