ContrasteFrigol values all relationships across the chain and works side by side with cattle raisers to foster a sustainable cattle-raising industry, setting auditable short-, medium- and long-term socio-environmental targets.
The company maintains a close relationship with suppliers and strictly monitors the entire cattle-raising process, from birth to slaughter.
This approach not only allows the company to diffuse best cattle-raising practices among suppliers, but also to offer a georeferencing system to fully control the production chain, ensuring greater food safety.
Frigol operates collaboratively and proactively, offering tools to develop the segment and provide cattle-raising advisory services for partner cattle raisers, with a focus on ensuring regulatory compliance, as applicable.
The responsible use of veterinary medicines is essential to ensure animal health, food safety, and compliance with legal and market requirements. Following the recommended dosages, withdrawal periods, and treatment records helps prevent residues in animal products, protecting consumers and strengthening the credibility of the production chain.
To support cattle raisers and suppliers, Frigol provides guidance and reference materials on the proper use of veterinary medicines and the requirements of the export markets it serves, promoting greater safety, transparency, and sustainability throughout beef production.
Under the Humane Slaughter and Animal Welfare, Frigol adopts protocols and best practices during the preslaughter and slaughter stages, to ensure a high-quality and safe end product.
The company strictly follows the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA), the STEPS Program of the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), and the Farm Animal Welfare Committee (FAWC).
