Q-PorkChains stakeholder conference

In December 2011 the 5-year integrated EU project (Q-PorkChains) ends. This will be marked by a two day conference (27-28/10-2011) at University of Illes Balears at Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The conference is public and stakeholders will be invited.

The program will have lectures, poster sessions and workshops on the most important results from Q-PorkChains, e.g. diversified production systems, sustainability evaluation, pork chain management, product quality and product development.

A workshop entitled “Molecular quality control” will take place. Biotech companies, technology developers and users will be invited, to learn more about this issue and to discuss the final project results and future potentials with several experts from Q-PorkChains. Further information will be published in the final program.

A technical tour will be arranged to a specialised production system for production of Majorcan black pigs. Read more in Majorcan Black Pig: An extensive production system.
