Hogs are processed into various products through a series of steps that involve slaughtering, butchering, and packaging. The initial stage is the humane slaughter of the animal, followed by skinning and evisceration. Afterward, the meat is divided into primal cuts, such as hams, loins, and shoulders. These cuts can be further processed into a variety of items including sausages, bacon, and cured meats. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the processing chain to ensure food safety and product quality. Finally, the processed meat products are packaged for distribution to consumers and retailers.
