Produces more meat

Especially beef production increased

Meat production from commercial slaughter (excluding poultry) totaled a good 2004 million tons in the second quarter of 1,3, including almost 1,1 million tons of pork and almost 0,3 million tons of beef (excluding veal). According to the Federal Statistical Office, the total slaughtered quantity from commercial slaughter increased by 2003 percent compared to the second quarter of 1,8; pork production increased by 1,2 percent and beef by 3,7 percent. The latter is primarily due to the increase in oxen and bull slaughtering by a total of 9,6 percent.

The increase in pig slaughter is due to the increasing number of slaughtered pigs of foreign origin. While the number of pigs slaughtered from abroad increased by 202.000 animals compared to the same quarter of the previous year, the number of domestic pigs slaughtered fell slightly. This means that around 6,4 percent of the pigs slaughtered in Germany came from abroad, compared to 4,7 percent in the second quarter of the previous year.
