7225	B+ Animal Welfare Commitment, the seal that places Spain at the global forefront	The Interprofessional of White Coated Pigs (INTERPORC), like the sector it represents, is firmly committed to animal welfare. One of the best examples of this commitment to excellence is the voluntary nature of the 'B+ Animal Welfare Commitment' seal.	<p><span lang="DE">No company is obliged to undergo audits that certify that it exceeds the tough requirements of the IAWS Technical Regulation for animal welfare and biosafety. And yet, more than 60% of Spanish white-coated pork production is currently certified.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In total there are 163 certified operators and more than 7,700 farms, information that can be consulted with complete transparency on the website: <a href="https://www.bienestaranimalcertificado.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.bienestaranimalcertificado.com/&source=gmail&ust=1710833119322000&usg=AOvVaw373kz7uTmyYStvga9XB_F9">https://www.<wbr />bienestaranimalcertificado.<wbr />com/</a> .</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Thanks to the commitment of these companies, and the positive response and support of large distribution chains, today millions of consumers throughout Spain have animal welfare certified meat at their disposal.</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="DE">What distinguishes the B+ Animal Welfare Commitment seal?</span></strong></p> <p><span lang="DE">There are three main arguments that create the distinctive character of the seal created by INTERPORC:</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Firstly, the already mentioned voluntariness of the <a title="pig sector" href="https://interporc.com/2018/11/14/papel-sector-porcino-en-economia-espanola?cat=blog/el-ayer-y-hoy-del-cerdo" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://interporc.com/2018/11/14/papel-sector-porcino-en-economia-espanola?cat%3Dblog/el-ayer-y-hoy-del-cerdo&source=gmail&ust=1710833119322000&usg=AOvVaw0hzs7nbQwP3IiJ1NRXll_V">pork sector</a> , which self-imposes to comply with animal welfare conditions higher than those established by law.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Second, it has been prepared by a Scientific Committee of recognized prestige in animal welfare.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Finally, it is certified by accredited external entities.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The modern, precision livestock farming that characterizes Spain's white-coated pork sector works according to the European production model, one of the most demanding in the world. However, when you have a calling to be a leader, conformism has no place.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">It is necessary to go even ahead of the demands of society and legal requirements. This is what the INTERPORC Animal Welfare Spain (IAWS) Technical Regulations do, which sets out the conditions that must be met to obtain the seal, and is even more demanding than Spanish and European legal regulations.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">This imposes an additional effort and, let us not forget, voluntary, in such important issues of food production as traceability, biosafety, animal health and sanitation, food safety, adherence to the National Antibiotic Resistance Plan and the accommodation of the animals.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In this way, companies that are certified incorporate into their work system a holistic vision of animal welfare that benefits them and drives them in their search for excellence in all areas.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">INTERPORC brought together a Scientific Committee of animal welfare experts to develop the INTERPORC Animal Welfare Spain (IAWS) Technical Regulations. A committee of which today 19 institutions from the university and research fields are part.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">These experts are the ones who guarantee the seriousness of the regulation, as well as its transparency and scientific rigor, in addition to being responsible for keeping it updated. That is, it responds at all times to the growing social and legal demands related to animal welfare.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In its work, the committee followed the guidelines on animal welfare of the World Organization for Animal Health (WHO), which describes it as the physical and mental state of an animal in relation to the conditions in which it lives and with respect to five freedoms: to be free from hunger, thirst and malnutrition; free from fear and anguish; free of physical and thermal discomfort; free from pain, injury and disease; and free to manifest natural behavior.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In addition, they established eight control areas that cover all aspects related to the breeding and development of animals, transportation and slaughter, covering the entire life of the animals.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The maximum credibility and transparency of the entire process is obtained by the fact that, to obtain the seal, compliance with the Regulation must be verified by a certifying company outside the pork sector and accredited by the National Accreditation Entity (ENAC), which in turn will supervise the work of the companies through its demanding evaluation process.</span></p>	1		Technology	adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro	2024-03-18 00:08:46	2025-08-12 20:53:39	Details Edit Delete
8178	PROVACUNO promotes Spanish beef in Morocco	The Interprofessional Organisation for Beef (PROVACUNO) has travelled with a group of Spanish beef exporters to a meeting with Moroccan importers, organised together with the Economic and Commercial Office of Spain in Casablanca.	<p style="font-weight: 400;">The event was attended by around 20 Spanish companies, who were able to connect with a similar number of Moroccan buyers, during a day in which a presentation was made of the distinguishing characteristics of our meat, such as its tenderness, juiciness, excellent flavour and low fat content, the result of a process of breeding young animals that are fed with cereals and oilseeds of the highest quality and in strict compliance with the regulations of the European Production Model.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The programme, which included interviews between buyers and exporters, concluded with a cocktail party in which Spanish beef was the star.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The action was completed with a visit by the Spanish delegation to a Moroccan slaughterhouse.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">It should be noted that, in order to regulate supply in the face of increased demand during Ramadan, which this year begins on 28 February, Morocco authorised the import of fresh beef and lamb from Spain at the end of October, in addition to the exports of live cattle that our country had already been making to Morocco.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to data from the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, between January and November 2024 beef exports have increased by 4% compared to the same period in 2023, while the value of exported production has increased by 12% in the case of meat and 1% in the case of live animals. However, estimates for the month of December indicate that final exports have exceeded 4,000 tonnes, which would represent an increase of almost 50% this past year. Morocco and Algeria are two of the countries where demand has increased the most.</p>	1		Market	adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro	2025-02-06 00:05:58	2025-08-13 03:31:25	Details Edit Delete
