The feeding of pigs is essential for obtaining an excellent product: high quality corn, barley and wheat
are at the base of the natural feed for pigs.
This, together with respect for the animal welfare and the constant commitment to research and
improvement of agricultural processes, guarantees the higher quality standards of pork.
Starting from these bases, with the ownership of the slaughtering, processing and maturing plants,
ProSus naturally manages to cover the entire production chain of its 100% Italian
meats and today it can vaunt of being one of the most successful companies in pork processing
and zootechnics. Perfect combination of modern technology and all the care of tradition.

ANIMAL WELFARE:
All members that supply pigs to the slaughterhouse must guarantee respectful and dignified breeding conditions for pigs; also the use of veterinary drugs, if necessary, is always conscious and responsible way under the supervision of the National Health Service. The stables must be sustainable, never oversized from a numerical point of view and with a non-invasive environmental impact. Animals must have adequate space to move freely and enrichment materials to play and root.
TRANSPORT:
They are entrusted to professionals and are organized to ensure maximum efficiency, in compliance with the laws and regulations in force. The duration of trips must always be maximum 4 hours. The vehicles must be washed and sterilized after each unloading in the slaughterhouse and before entering the farms.
SLAUGHTERING:
In the next months, Prosus will open the new stalls for pigs, enlarging the spaces and optimizing the procedures to receive and manage the stay of the pigs since the arrival at the slaughterhouse: wider pens, modern moving systems to avoid any useless stress or trauma. Each operation is followed by veterinarians present during the entire working round.
