PAACO's fall Meat Plant Training will be held October 20-22, 2025 in Nebraska. All registered attendees will be expected to join us in-person in Nebraksa; there is no option for virtual attendance. 

The course will be a combination of classroom curriculum and "hands-on" learning through site visits. In-person attendees will visit both a pork plant a nd beef plant to gain hands-on experience while instructors are present.  The course uses the Meat Institute Animal Handling Guidelines. Material and instruction will be presented in English.

Travel logtistics and hotel information will be available in the informational brochure.

PAACO will be hosting a Meat Plant Animal Welfare Training that covers beef, pork and lamb from arrival at the processing plant through bleed line. This training will take place in Lins City, Brazil.
