Rúnar Ingi Tryggvason discussed in a special project at Matvælafræði at the University of Iceland the production of raw sausages from less expensive pieces of meat, such as mutton or horses. The project was carried out in collaboration with Matís and Beint frá býli and with a grant from the Agricultural Productivity Fund.

Sheep products are a large part of the production value of farmers in Iceland, especially lamb. Mutton is not considered to be as good meat as lamb and therefore a much lower product price is obtained as a result.
