Improving meat quality with NIRS

By Eli Johanne Gjerlaug-Enger Topigs Norsvin has routinely used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology in its pig breeding program for 18 years. In our experience, this method is very accurate and has generated considerable value for our clients due to sustainable breeding for high meat quality. From the outset, we trained our own researchers in the […]
