  • Changes in the slaughter value of the Hungarian pig stock on the basis of the EUROP classification system = Spremembe vrednosti zaklanih madžarskih prašičev na osnovi EUROP klasifikacijskega sistema
    Csató, L. ; Obornik, A.
    The authors examined the effect of the new (S)EUROP slaughter pig classification system, evaluating data relating to three-week periods: one directly subsequent to the introduction of the system, one ... from the middle of its time of implementation so far, and one from the present day. It was thus established that since the introduction of the system in Hungary the ratio of pigs classified has increased continuously in comparison with the total number of pigs slaughtered. Examination of this period revealed that in the initial period the purchase price ratios were distributed in a broad band, quality being remunerated with a greater degree of price difference. This favourable price ratio had narrowed considerably by the intermediate period, and by a less substantial degree by the third period examined. Despite this, changes in the livestock ratios demonstrate that the ratio of fattened pigs yielding higher slaughter quality is increasing continuously in slaughter pig populations in Hungary.
