Animal Health
In FRIGOR we implement the guidelines and procedures of SENASAG and OIE regarding animal health.
We are part of the National Epidemiological Surveillance System (SENASAG), performing verifications through pre- and post- mortem inspections, to understand and control the possible different epidemiological situations that may be encountered during slaughter; and to achieve control traceability.
The epidemiological surveillance system during slaughter is a method of tracking and monitoring potential incidents, complementary to the controls of the products, through procedures that translate into practical routine monitoring.
FRIGOR constitutes a critical linkage in the activities of recording and reporting of diseases to SENASAG in order to analyze, interpret, and make decisions.
Animal Welfare
FRIGOR is part of the program between the Government of Santa Cruz and SENASAG, to implement appropriate procedures for animal welfare.
We ensure animal welfare from the field, transportation to our facilities, and in holding pens and slaughter.
Our infrastructure and facilities are optimal to provide the necessary protection to the animal; from its arrival to the landing stage, to entry into the processing areas.
Pen environments are optimal for rational management and good animal husbandry practices, providing appropriate features in pens, such as non-skid floors and clean water.
Permanent controls of livestock handling are instituted by veterinary experts from FRIGOR.
