Slaughter rates decline in Canada
29/04/2014
Last year, federally inspected abattoirs across Canada slaughtered a total of almost 2.6 million cattle, compared to 3.2 million in 2010.
Over the same period, the Canadian cattle herd has also declined in size, but to a far lesser extent. On January 1, 2013, Canadian livestock farmers had a combined herd of 12.3 million head. This compares to a herd of close to 12.7 million head on January 1, 2010, a fall of just over 3%.
