Slaughter
The Carnes Selectas 2000 S.A. specializes in Iberian pork killing and quartering. It has a daily slaughtering capacity of 432,000 kg and a carcass airing surface of 2,280 cubic meters. Pigs are always desensitized before killing, as required by law. Because of the unique characteristics of Iberian pork, any improvement in animal welfare issues (rest in stables, unloading from trucks, stress reduction, application of premortem anesthetic discharge, etc.) is of particular interest with some of the products destined for curing, as it directly affects the quality of the pieces once cured.
We are concerned about animal welfare, which is why we comply with the European Standard of Animal Welfare and can ensure the comfort of the animals from the time they arrive at our facilities until they are slaughtered.
