DNA SourceTracker: Next generation meat traceability
HOW DO YOU STAND OUT AGAINST YOUR COMPETITION?
The most advanced DNA-based tracing method:
next-generation sequencing
In times of global supply chains and a rising demand for food authenticity among consumers, your business is under more pressure than ever. What you do and how you do it matters to your customers. This goes for your production methods as well as for the effort you put into securing the highest quality and authenticity.
You have a premium meat product that claims a certain feature on the label (e.g. organic, from a defined origin or farm, associated to a meat organisation) and you want to re-check its whole production chain? DNA Source Tracker can help you to control your label from animal to supermarket. How? By utilising the most advanced DNA-based tracing method: next-generation sequencing.

Frequently asked questions
What is next-generation sequencing?
When, where and how are the samples taken for the database generation?
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), also known as highthroughput sequencing, is a massively parallel DNA sequencing technology that allows for the analysis of samples and systems at a level that was never possible before. NGS machines can sequence large samples more cost-effectively than traditionalmethods, and in the process also generate more detailed genomic information.
The sampling can take place either in the slaughterhouse during the slaughter process (swabs, but also tissue, blood, or hairs are possible) or at the farm during ear-tagging. For the latter, special ear-tags are available that automatically conserve the punched tissue. Other sampling points can be discussed if necessary.
For which animal species can this service be used?
What are the related costs?
DNA Source Tracker is mainly offered for premium products from beef and pork. For sheep and goat product sourcing, please contact us.
The costs for the generation of the customised database (DNA profiling of all relevant animals) amounts to only a few additional cents per kg meat related to the end product.
