Kill Agenda

Kill Agenda

Prioritise and sequence the order in which lots are killed.

Customers can use the Emydex kill agenda to prioritise the order that lots are killed.

Sort lots based on potential contamination or cleanliness levels, or sort manually against other factors
Split or merge lots as required
Update details such as condemn status directly against the lot

Sequencing

Sequencing

Registers the death of the animal and allocates a unique Emydex body number.

The Emydex sequencing process registers the death of the animal in the Emydex system.

Allocates a unique Emydex body number, whether animals are uniquely identified by ear tag or processed as part of a mob
Captures defects and downgrades at the point of registration
Integrates with stunning devices to capture stunning metrics against individual bodies

VET Inspection

VET Inspection

Real-time capture of VET carcass, offal and head inspection faults.

Emydex software allows customers to capture VET carcass, offal and head inspection faults and defects against individual animals in real time.

Classifies defects as producer or factory faults, which can be used to adjust livestock payments
Enables carcasses or offal products to be condemned directly from the inspection terminal
Flags carcasses for re-inspection where required
