Uruguay’s National Institute for Agriculture and Livestock (INAC) has reported slaughter figures of just over 1.8 million cattle for the first nine months of this year.

This represents a fall of almost 5% compared to the figure for the same months in 2021. 

In the month of September, INAC said it had taken note of a 7% decline in steer slaughter, but an increase of 4% in the slaughter of cows and a rise of 17% in the number of heifers going to abattoirs.
