Abstract

The Danish PurePork-program, owned by Danish Crown, a major Danish slaughterhouse, is based on a concept, where pigs do not receive any antibiotic treatments from birth until slaughter. Pigs are ear tagged at birth, and if they get sick, and are treated, the ear tag will be removed, and the pig can no longer be marketed as PurePork.
