FOOD SAFETY FARM-TO-FORK TRACEABILITY (1) 3 export abattoirs - used exclusively for the slaughtering of ostriches Designed to comply with the very stringent hygiene controls requested from EU and other import countries Ostrich industry has a very strict code of conduct for the production of ostriches Farmers are regularly audited externally to ensure that they adhere to these principles Ostriches - tested 21 days before slaughter to determine that the animal has a clean bill of health Slaughtered under humane & Halaal conditions

FOOD SAFETY FARM-TO-FORK TRACEABILITY (2) KKI’s food safety monitors not only meat products, but also the manufacturing process as a whole at various levels. This system consists of a process flow that monitors critical points (HACCP).

KKI has a resident ostrich specialist veterinarian. At the fully equipped laboratory an expert team of microbiologists and food technologists set the benchmark for traceability and food safety.

KKI is accredited for the FSSC22000.

FOOD SAFETY OSTRICH MEAT PRODUCTION (3) PRODUCTION OF OSTRICHES Klein Karoo International’s ostriches are raised to a live mass of about 90 kg in natural surroundings according to free range principles on privately owned farms. The producers are responsible farmers and aim to raise the birds in the most acceptable way according to international legislation as required by importing countries.

NUTRITION OF OSTRICHES Ostriches are fed on pastures such as alfalfa, wheat and alfalfa hay produced by the farmers. The birds on pastures receive additional energy and protein supplements to ensure a balanced ration. This will include energy sources such as maize, barley, oats; protein sources such as alfalfa and bran. Vitamins and minerals are also added. No animal protein sources are used and no growth stimulants are administered. The meat is free of any systematically administered antibiotics.

KKI partakes in a rigorous residue (growth stimulants and other chemicals) monitoring program on all meat.

ANIMAL WELFARE & FREE RANGE PRINCIPLES Ostrich industry expect their producers to adhere to

farming principles to ensure the welfare of ostriches & to comply with free range standards Below are the five freedoms required internationally to ensure animal welfare: Freedom from thirst, hunger & malnutrition (i.e. to sustain health & vitality) Freedom from discomfort, pain & injury Freedom from disease (i.e. also diseases induced or exacerbated by management) Freedom from fear & distress (i.e. protection from predators) Freedom to express normal behaviour

FOOD SAFETY OSTRICH MEAT PRODUCTION (4) The birds are slaughtered under humane and Halaal conditions. After slaughter, the carcasses are de-boned.

The utilizable meat, mainly emanating from the legs, is prepared as various primal cuts and meat is being portioned into final product.

Fillet, 6kg Steak, 11kg Cubes/Strips, 1.7kg Hamburgers, 5kg

FOOD SAFETY OSTRICH MEAT PRODUCTION (5) PARTIALLY COOKING AND FREEZING OF OSTRICH MEAT Like typical agriculture the consistent supply has always been challenging. The ostrich production has a natural ‘in-and-out-of-season’ cycle due to the climate and the birds breeding pattern.

The partially cooked and frozen ostrich meat method is offering a consistent 12month availability and is developing a sustainable agriculture for the farmers.

The cooking process is heating up the core temperature of the meat to 70 °C. With the latest food technology, KKI can guarantee a consistent moisture content, juiciness and tenderness of the meat. It is a food safety product, compliant with all EU and OIE food security legislations and regulations on animal health. The products is available regardless of the animal health status of the country.

The maintenance of the ‘Cold Chain’ is ensured with strict monitoring of product temperatures from our processing plant to destinations in Europe and the Far East.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO TO PEOPLE PEOPLE AND AND NATURE NATURE

An example is the ‘Peddie -Ostrich Project’. This project involves about 60 small-scale farmers of whom about 35 are women. They produce 2 500 slaughter birds per annum.

Ostrich production is a capital intensive and technologically -demanding farming enterprise. Many black farmers are unable to use their land productively due to a lack of capital and access to proper extension services.

This is achieved by acting as a master mentor, investor and private sector partner within a Public private partnership.

The vision and mission is to establish small-scale sustainable ostrich farmers.

The project has proven itself to be a success in assisting grassroots level enterprises for rural development.
