About Roy Melsert - MHS Consultancy

My name is Roy Melsert, and I have been active in the meat industry since 1996. Over the past decades, I have gained extensive experience across various parts of the supply chain, with a strong focus on animal welfare and process optimization.

In the 1990s, animal welfare was far from a given. At that time, I saw many challenges—and opportunities—to improve the treatment of animals. I quickly realized that focusing on animal welfare not only benefits the animals but also directly contributes to better processes and greater safety for employees. This conviction has driven me to specialize in training and advisory services.

As a trainer and consultant, I support slaughterhouses in improving their operations so that they not only comply with legal requirements but also enhance quality, efficiency, and animal care. A key part of this is teaching employees to handle animals respectfully and humanely, and ensuring these practices are consistently applied throughout the slaughter process.

My unique approach to training comes from my own experience on the work floor. I used to be “one of the team,” so I understand how to motivate and engage employees effectively. This allows me to directly connect theory to practice and ensure that new procedures are actually implemented.

In addition, I advise slaughterhouses on designing new facilities or modernizing existing ones to create more efficient processes, ensure animal welfare, and provide a safe working environment for employees.

I work exclusively with people and companies who, like me, place the highest priority on animal welfare, so that together we can create a positive impact in the meat industry.

With over 30 years of experience, I assist companies with training, audits, and implementing sustainable improvements. My goal is to help organizations achieve slaughter processes where professionalism, quality, and animal welfare go hand in hand.
