During the autumn months, Matís and Geitfjárræktarfélag Íslands will be responsible for projects regarding increased value creation of goat products in collaboration with and with the support of Matarauður Íslands. Part of this project is to establish goat meat assessment, review procedures for slaughtering goats and clarify procedures for the retrieval of goat sheep products, for the benefit of all concerned.
Goats and kittens are usually slaughtered for repatriation, but are less likely to be slaughtered in the same way as sheep. Goat breeding is increasing all over the country, so it is important to establish a uniform meat assessment, record results and bring better products to market. Further information is provided by Óli Þór Hilmarsson at Matís.
