Objective
The EU meat industry is in decline with serious socio-economic impacts. One reason for this is inability to deliver consistently high quality meat products to the consumer. QualityPorkGENES addresses this problem by describing pork meat quality and stress response in pigs in order to meet consumer requirements for both quality and welfare. Simultaneously, the genes associated with quality and stress will be identified using DNA micro arrays and polemics. These genes will then available for use as diagnostic Lolls that can be used for breeding or quality assurance. Selecting those genes that best meet consumer requirements will ensure that the European industry will be able to compete more effectively. These novel detection tools will help the pork meat industry predict quality and provide consistently high quality products with the benefits for consumer satisfaction, product sales/exports and the quality of life in the EU rural economy.
