The project developed and implemented a remote carcass evaluation system that enables farmers to monitor the slaughtering and grading process of their animals through visual recording and data access. The main outcome is increased transparency, objectivity and trust in pricing, as animals are paid based on actual carcass weight and quality instead of estimated live weight. In many cases, farmers can achieve 15–20% higher income for well-prepared, higher-quality animals.

In practice, this creates strong incentives to improve feeding, breeding, and animal preparation before sale, as better carcass quality leads directly to better prices. The system also allows farmers to review evaluation results and, if needed, request an independent reassessment, reducing the risk of errors or unfair pricing.

By using this approach, farmers can increase profitability without increasing herd size, simply by improving production quality and management practices. The system is easy to apply in cooperation with slaughterhouses and provides clear, understandable information for decision-making. As a result, farmers can strengthen their market position, plan production more efficiently, and move towards higher-value, more competitive and sustainable livestock farming.
