Argentine: The government modernizes the bovine classification management system

The National Government introduced changes in the management of bovine classification, with the aim of achieving 100% classification at slaughter. This methodology classifies the animal after slaughter according to its category, age, sex, finish and conformation and thus determines the quality of the product. This process is crucial to adding value at each link in the meat chain.

Resolution 96/2024 of the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries contemplates the repeal of 8 regulations (Provisions 1962/04 and 2557/03; Resolutions 75/73, 130/77, 418/73, 282/70, 956/97 and 240/90), the modification of two (1165/11 and 400/01) and the continuity of five others.

In this way, the optional category of "Meat Classifier" is introduced for each slaughterhouse and seeks to expand the percentage of classified meat to more plants. Currently, only 65% of the national slaughter is classified in 78 plants. With this regulation, it is intended to cover 100% of the slaughter in three stages of implementation, depending on the traffic and volume of slaughter at each plant.

The resolution also makes certain requirements more flexible to facilitate its adoption, such as the choice of identification systems and improvements in the training of classifiers. The registration of new classifiers will be more transparent, through the Single Registry of the Agroindustrial Chain. With these measures, the Government seeks to modernize and ensure the quality of Argentine meat worldwide.
