The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has introduced a standard that maxes out the meat carcass weight at 32 kilos and permits the use of mechanical means for half cattle. This move is aimed at enhancing occupational safety and promoting higher quality and health standards for meat products. The resolution also mandates the creation of a permanent technical advisory board involving Senasa, SRT, and other relevant agencies to oversee the implementation of the new regulations. A gradual and systematic implementation is expected, with a scale of warnings and sanctions for non-compliance. The decision follows extensive collaboration between the national government and the provinces to modernize the meat processing industry.
