ProSafeBeef was an Integrated Project supported under the 6th Framework Programme of the European Union. The project, co-ordinated by Teagasc Food Research Centre, focused on advancing Beef Safety and Quality through Research and Innovation. This project involved 41 leading research and industrial organisations working in 18 different countries and ran over a 6 year period (2007- 2012). The ProSafeBeef Project produced substantial data and technological outputs. In order to effectively communicate these technologies to stakeholders, a series of mini-publications have been developed. These four-page documents break the research down into a "digestible" format. Each TechKnowledge Digests covers a different research or technology output and they can be downloading by clicking on the links below.
