Wiking Meat Information

Antibiotic Free Pigs - Sustainable and Innovative Pig Farming Wiking Meat System What to expect from the new standard in a steady development (in brief) • Reared without antibiotics (sick pigs: about 5–7% are separated from the herd and treated in special pig pens on a regular basis) • Up to 90% (by 2017) locally grown feed based non-GMO crops. In 2018, 100% feed will be locally grown • Tested free of salmonella • Feed, pigs and pork meat origins are fully and 100% traceable • Live pigs are transported no more than 2.5 hours in their entire lifetime • Batch-slaughtering from the same herd and farm • Fair trade for family-owned farms – 100% of the market price and 75% of the premium above market price is paid directly to the farmer • Meat is sold nationally. The Wiking Meat System itself will be exported. Production must remain local, e.g. to minimise GHG emissions • Continued investment in education, R&D, animal welfare and food safety.
