AI monitoring only adds value when it strengthens regional slaughter competence

The visit by German Federal Minister of Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity Alois Rainer to Vion’s cattle slaughterhouse in Waldkraiburg has again put regional slaughter infrastructure on the professional agenda. Animal welfare, quality assurance, processing and regional value creation were discussed at the plant on 31 August. According to Vion, around 160,000 cattle are slaughtered there annually and approximately 22,000 tonnes of beef are processed; the site employs 350 people.
