The Muslims slaughtered the AL-Odhia of sheep, goat, cattle, buffaloe and camel in Eid Al-Adha every year and
eat their meat. The Muslims eat the meat of all animals except pig all over the year. The Christians not eat meat and
other foods of animal origin in certain periods of the year. The meat consumption is based largely on the
availability, price and tradition. The meat production is a very complex operation depending not only on the
demand which is usually based up on the price and the income, but up on the many social and economic influences
such as the official policy, the price support mechanisms, and the interrelations such as the interaction between beef
and milk production, the availability of animal feedstuffs and the competition for the food between the man and the
animals.It is difficult to make accurate comparisons of the meat consumption between the countries in the world
because the different methods are used to estimate the consumption. The figures may be derived from the total
supplies available at wholesale level, or from the records of the household purchases, with or without estimates of
what is consumed away from the home; the estimate of waste, both in the preparation of the food and by the
individual adds to the uncertainty. Some national estimates fail to include the imports, and some surveys include the
weight of non-meat components of the products, for example the amount of the meat in a product can range
between hundred percentage in some types of the burger to ten percentage in some types of the pizza. The food
Balance Sheets are prepared from the figures for the production, the imports, the stock changes and the exports with
allowances for the feed, the processing and "The other uses" and the same methods are applied to all the regions .
The amount of the meat consumed in different countries in the world varies enormously with social, economic and
political influences, religious beliefs and geographical differences. |
