Fattening; is a special feeding program to increase the quality, taste, and yield in the animals. The open fattening method is applied in Namet Farm. Thanks to this method, animals are fattened in their own habitat while the most natural and tasteful meat comes to your dining table. The aim of fattening is to have a delicious meat as well as fertility. The optimum season for the fattening is autumn.
Fats in well-fed animals pile between muscle fibres and make the meat more delicious. The specific taste and flavor of the meat arise out of the fats. The baits in Namet Farm are prepared by Agriculture Engineers in a feeding, healthy and hundred percent natural way
Slaughtering is done by competent and trained butchers in accordance with Islamic rules under the guidance and control of a veterinary.
The meat is aged for 24 hours after cutting. A team of examining veterinaries, food engineers, and food technologists is available at slaughter points
To have the quality meat, animals must be under no stress before slaughter. Shipping is one of the main factors that affect the animals before slaughter. Long hours of shipping, weather conditions during the transportation, jumbling of outsider animals and hunger create stress and fear. Putting water in front of animals at slaughter points, behavior of workers, at least 5 hours of aging before slaughter will help the meat to be top quality in all respects like its color, tissue, and softness. All rules are observed before and after slaughter in Namet Farm. Thus, the taste of the meat belonging to slaughtered animals is preserved.
The heat of the carcass is 37° after slaughter. It is kept under 10°-12° to decrease from 37° to 25°. Then, it is taken for precooling in half-carcass stores under 0°. The heat should decrease to process and shiver the meat and the heat is expected to decrease to 2-4° within 24 hours.
Namet also provides a high level of hygiene thanks to its hi-tech cooling system. After slaughter, the meat is aged, processed, shivered, shipped and sold. The cold chain is never broken.
Namet meets all the requirements for hygiene from the cleaning of chill stores to that of interior and exterior of shipping vehicles. Moreover, an expert team works meticulously in every step of cooling, which adds much more taste to the meat. Cooling rooms and shipping vehicles are monitored spontaneously and recorded by computer systems automatically
Hygiene is one of the most important factors for Namet, which is why production facilities have been built in accordance with the most hygienic conditions. The walls, the ceiling, cooling fans, water pipes, and electric cables have been made as stainless materials. The production department is cleaned by an international expert cleaning firm and controlled each week after taking samples from production areas and equipment.
Infiltrating air through high-efficient particulate absolute (HEPA) is offered to production areas, which makes a suitable environment for food production. Giving importance to personnel training, Namet trains its staff before leading off and repeats its hygiene training every year. The staff wash their hands with hot water and soap in the first place and then dry their hands with towels
In the second stage, a system of washing boots and disinfecting hands is available in a fully closed disinfection unit consisting of 6 meters. The boots are disinfected by brushing system and hands are disinfected by putting them into double-pointed turnstile. After all these operations finish, turnstile opens automatically and production begins.
The samples are taken from the hands of employees and controlled micro-biologically. Employees wear steel vests, steel gloves and shoes fit for the food during shivering.
Namet preserves the taste in every step using latest hygiene technologies. The products reach consumers without breaking the cold chain from aging, processing, shivering, shipping and selling the meat after slaughter.
The prepared products are directed to packaging and manufacturing via e2 cases. These cases are washable cases conforming to national standards. During the packaging step, the meat is put in the bags, vacuumed, pasteurised, dried, wrapped, packed and prepared for the shipping under zero order in accordance with shrink system. As fresh or shocked, the meat to be used in production step is shocked after being directed to shock units under up to -40 degrees and preserved off-the-rack for the next day.
Dry substance consumption of livestocks depends on live weight, moisture content of season ratio, daily increase in live weight, environmental conditions, quality of bait, feeding style, bait type, body condition, shipping and management of the business.
The most important factor in fattening is energy. The necessary energy for 1 kilogram of increase in live weight while fattening young and old bovines depends on the age. With increasing age, fats accumulate more and old animals need more energy than young animals do. During intensive fattening, the rate of concentrate feed must be risen to 80-90%. One of the factors affecting energy need is the period of fattening. The energy need is lower at the beginning of fattening while it is higher at the end of it..
If fattened animals are not too young, protein accumulation in the organism is low and thus protein need decreases. Protein accumulation and meat increase are so much in the young and adolescent animals. Thus, raw protein need increases due to the high levels of rise in daily live weight..
Vitamins and minerals must be balanced to sustain healthy vital activities. It is important to meet the needs of minerals and vitamins to reach the wanted increase in live weight of livestocks. Macro and micro element needs of livestock depend on the breed, age, increase in live weight and fattening methods. It must be cared for meeting livestocks' needs of calcium, phosphorus, salt, vitamin, A, D, and E..
The water is a basic need to improve live weight during the fattening. If the animals do not drink enough water, they cannot digest healthily and bait consumption decreases. The animal organism absolutely needs water for regular and constant metabolic activities, digestion and disposal of what cannot be digested.
Animal breeds are selected carefully and based on our traditional values and prepared for production accordingly in Namet Farm. Animal's race, tallowing rate of the meat, color, tissue, smell of the meat are all influential and directly proportional with the taste of meat. These features depend on the race of the animal.
Feeding the animal also depends on its race. Stock breeders must know which live weight is good for fattening bovines, how to feed them based on the weight at the end of the fattening, the time for the increase in their daily weight and how this process changes based on the weight at the end of the fattening. In Turkey, the most convenient breeds for fattening are cultural races such as simental, hereford, holstein, jersey, montafon, domestic black, black-and-white, multicolor yellow and brown and hybrids of all these. Since marbling (distribution of fat among muscle fibers) in the meat of these animal races is too high, their meat tastes more delicious than other races.
