Looking at organic beef

摘要

IN THE RECENT PAST, some Ontario beef producers have implemented production systems designed to add value to their products through marketing beef with specific attributes (or product branding), which may command a premium or ensure market share. These systems include producing meat from animals which have been raised under one or more of the following criteria: not received antibiotics; not received exogenous hormonal implants; been fed a feedlot diet of predominantly corn; fed a feedlot diet whichis predominately forage; had unlimited access to the outdoors; been finished on pasture; not been fed any animal products; not been fed any chemical feed additives; been raised in an organic manner.
