production in this farming documentary the transport process begins with loading pigs onto trucks where they are typically guided using low stress techniques such as crowd Gates and proper ramps the trucks used must be well ventilated with temperature controls to prevent overheating and they must be designed to prevent pigs from falling or injuring themselves during Transit it Transporters are required to follow strict guidelines set by the US Department of Agriculture used day and Industry experts to ensure Animal Welfare these include limiting transport time to a maximum of 28 hours without rest stops ensuring pigs are not overcrowded and providing adequate space for them to stand and lie down upon arrival at the processing facility unloading must be done calmly with the use of non-abusive handling practices to prevent injury and further stress proper unloading procedures ensure that pigs arrive at the facility in good health ready for the next day ages of the process in a pig processing plant operations begin with ensuring the pig's safety and meat quality large facilities such as those managed by Smithfield foods can process up to 32,000 pigs daily these plants are built to adhere to rigorous safety standards outlined by the US Department of Agriculture USDA which enfor forces strict hygiene protocols and precise temperature controls to prevent contamination with Advanced automation many tasks like cutting deboning and packaging are handled efficiently ensuring consistent quality plant owners have made substantial Investments totaling hundreds of millions of dollars to modernize operations enhance productivity and improve meat quality at additionally all facilities comply with the Humane Slaughter act to ensure Humane treatment throughout the process and this process which is explored in detail in this farming documentary ensures that pork products from Fresh Cuts to processed items like bacon and sausages are properly prepared prepared and stored

Advanced genetic research with DNA testing identifying Superior Bloodlines in the farming documentary at Elite Japanese auctions premium wagu breeding cattle can sell for over 7 ,000 USD with champion cows reaching 400,000 USD research institutions continue to study wagu genetics isolating key markers that influence fat distribution and tenderness while Wu Remains the gold standard of luxury beef similar breeding techniques are now being used for high-end cattle like Spain's Ruby a Gala posing potential competition for Japan's exclusive beef industry raising wedu cattle is an expensive and highly controlled process with far Farmers following strict dietary regimens to enhance marbling and flavor these cattle are fed a specialized diet including rice straw brewers yeast and high energy grains like corn and wheat often imported at premium prices with global grain costs Rising Japan imported over 70% of its feed in 2023 the expense of feeding wagu continues to climb directly impacting
