videopresentation
Livestock are imported from Belgium, France, Ireland, Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. The average weight of the imported animals ranges from 150 to 400 kg and their age from four to ten months. We import male calves and female breeding calves and, for the most part, we choose the animals ourselves.
All imported cattle are characterized by their excellent quality and high meat yield.
A fundamental attribute of the Politikos Bros Co. is their guarantee of top quality livestock and, at the same time, their assurance of the best prices on the market. What is more, cattle deliveries are prompt and transportation costs extremely low.
Our many years of experience and superior know-ledge go a long way toward meeting all require-ments as far as breed, age, weight and quantity are concerned.
Key factors in achieving high quality and yield in cattle are their nutrition and living conditions. Using top quality certified feed (corn, barley, wheat, soya, bran, corn silage, hay and clover), the Politikos Bros Company aspires not only to produce top quality meat but also to ensure the good health of its livestock.
Particular importance is attached to ensuring healthy living conditions for our animals. This is achieved by means of adequate ventilation, suf-ficient space and frequent scattering of sawdust, which helps keep the floors of the cattle sheds dry.
Furthermore, daily inspections by the company vet safeguard animal hygiene. All this contributes to optimal meat yield with live weight reaching 1600 grams per day.
Products are distributed on the market in two ways:
A. By selling animals designated for slaughter in all areas of Greece.
B. By distributing meat from animals slaughtered at local slaughter houses. Moreover, in cooperation with meat cut-ting and processing plants, the Politikos Bros Company distributes processed meat of all kinds.
