I had an opportunity to spend some time at VION, one of the largest food companies in the EU and one of the largest slaughterhouses for pigs due to recent expansions by merger and acquisiton. They provide a website for their producers which gives a tremendous amount of very valuable information regarding their performance. From the website the producer can download their individual animal kill stats as well as benchmark against the plant average and top performing farms. In addition, they are provided information about lung health for instance and can also benchmark that against the plant.
