In a field trial on Integrated Quality Control of finishing pigs we evaluated information written on Quality Information Cards (QUIC) for meat inspection purposes. These cards were sent with 3747 shipments of pigs going from the finishing herd to the slaughterhouse. Pig suppliers answered five questions dealing with health problems and the use of drugs during the finishing period. By comparing QUIC answers to recorded post-mortem abnormalities, we found that the information on the QUIC had some, albeit low, predictive value with respect to the abnormalities 'arthritis', 'condemned liver' and lung lesions. Shipments without a QUIC or with a faulty QUIC were considered 'suspect' because higher levels of abnormalities were found in these shipments. These results indicate the potential use of a QUIC.
在一项关于育肥猪综合质量控制的田间试验中，我们评估了为肉类检验目的而写在质量信息卡（QUIC）上的信息。这些卡片随3747批从育肥猪群运往屠宰场的猪一同发送。猪供应商回答了五个关于育肥期健康问题和药物使用的问题。通过将QUIC的回答与记录的尸检异常情况进行比较，我们发现QUIC上的信息对于“关节炎”、“肝脏被判不合格”和肺部病变等异常情况具有一定的预测价值，尽管该价值较低。没有QUIC或QUIC有错误的批次被视为“可疑”，因为在这些批次中发现了更高水平的异常情况。这些结果表明了QUIC的潜在用途。
