Thriving livestock industry
We visited Nashiki Farm which is one of the farms producing ”Yamato Pork.” This pork is the main product for Frieden, a company specializing in livestock and processed foods.
The characteristic of ”Yamato Pork” is the extra-fine texture of the meat and the sweet-tasting fat. The brand has received many awards for the excellent taste.
Many privately-owned farms are intentionally operated on a small scale so that they can put that much more time and effort into the work.
On the other hand, Frieden operates multiple large farms, so Nakata was interested in how large farms were able to raise delicious pork.
Healthy pigs provide delicious pork
”The key to raising healthy pigs is to provide a good environment. If the pigs become sick, they won’t eat very much, and this affects their growth. After all, delicious pork comes from healthy pigs.”, we were told.
At Nashiki Farm, they thoroughly monitor the pigs. Not only do they closely monitor the health of each pig, they even change the makeup of the feed depending on its gender, their weight, etc.
In order to strengthen the internal organs, the pigs are given activated water from the time they are born. A good digestive system will allow the pigs to grow and stay healthy.
Now, time for tasting!
The sausage looks very plump and juicy.
All the pork at Nashiki Farm is processed into foods such as ham, sausages and bacon. The taste is backed by the numerous gold awards in prestigious food contests such as Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft (DLG) and International Food Exhibition in Europe.
The company’s commitment to the details, and the care given to raising ”Yamato Pork”, produces delicious products, and is recognized both domestically and internationally.
