| 7690 | Argentine seeks to accelerate the opening of beef exports to Japan | The Secretary for Production Coordination received the Japanese ambassador to speed up the opening of beef exports to the Asian country and to review bilateral issues in view of the next G20 meeting. | <p><span lang="DE">The Secretary for Production Coordination of the Ministry of Economy, Juan Pazo, received the Japanese ambassador, Yamauchi Hiroshi, with whom he outlined a roadmap to accelerate the opening of beef exports to the Asian country and reviewed bilateral issues in view of the G20 meeting, which will be held in Brazil. In addition, during the meeting the possibility of an official visit by Argentine officials to Japan was discussed.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The meeting with the representatives of Japan is part of the work being carried out by the National Government to rebuild a strategic trade relationship for the Argentine economy that has been neglected in recent years.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In this regard, a few weeks ago the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, received representatives of the Government of Japan, Japanese legislators and officials from its Embassy, a meeting in which work was done to advance the opening of beef exports to the Asian country and in defense agreements.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">During the meeting, Pazo stressed that "it is very important for Argentina to recover and deepen the bilateral relationship with Japan" since it is "a strategic partner. We want to work together to generate more fluid trade between both countries".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Japan is one of the main importers of beef worldwide, with a total value of USD 2,929 million (503,939 tons) in 2023.

| 7689 | Australia: Quarterly red meat production lifts and global demand remains very strong | The latest quarterly statistics on livestock slaughtered and meat production from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) have revealed that the female slaughter rate (FSR) for the Australian cattle herd has lifted to 53.1%, which places the industry in a destock phase. | <p>This increase in the FSR comes alongside a 17% lift in cattle slaughter to 2.1 million head for the June quarter, the highest since 2019.<br /><br />Lamb slaughter lifted to 7.2 million head over the quarter, which is Australia’s highest lamb slaughter figure on record and the first time it has been above 7 million head.<br /><br />Combined sheep and lamb slaughter rose 2% from Q1 2024 and 16% from Q2 last year to 9.9 million head. This makes Q2 the largest quarter for sheep and lamb slaughter since Q1 1973.<br /><br />According to Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), Australia’s sheep flock has changed significantly over the last fifty years.<br /><br />"A move towards meat breeds, and more recently to shedding animals, has opened the door to a new way of production. The flock is operating in a new normal, with more lambs being grown, leading to more production", MLA Senior Market Information Analyst, Erin Lukey, said.<br /><br />Ms Lukey said that in the cattle industry, the ABS data showed that the FSR had increased across the country.<br /><br />The industry uses 47% FSR as a benchmark as to whether the industry is in a restock, steady or destocking phase. A quarterly FSR of 53% is the second consecutive quarter above this benchmark, which indicates the cattle herd has entered a destocking period.<br /><br />"The ABS data has revealed lifts to FSR across all production states which has lifted to its highest female turnoff since 2019, and the largest quarter on quarter lift to their FSR among other states", Ms Lukey said.<br /><br />"Thanks to four consecutive years that have allowed for rebuild and maintenance, the Australian cattle herd is high when compared to historic averages. Cow retention over this time has created a large female herd, which are now ready for turnoff.<br /><br />Saleyard prices remain well above year-ago levels, as strong demand for Australian beef in the global market helps to maintain confidence as production rises.”<br /><br />The increase in cattle slaughter has consequently led to an elevated beef production quarter as well.<br /><br />Beef production rose 14% from Q1 2024 and 19% from Q2 last year to 648,763 tonnes. This is the largest quarterly production total since Q2 2015, and the fourth-highest volume on record.<br /><br />This was also a record quarter for lamb, with 177,147 tonnes produced over the quarter, 6% above Q1 2024 and 19% higher than the same quarter last year.<br /><br />"High red meat export volumes over the June quarter show that demand is growing overseas at the same time that Australian supply is rising", Ms Lukey said.<br /><br />Lamb slaughter across Australia lifted to its highest number ever with 7.2 million head processed in Q2. This was 4.2% higher than last quarter’s record figure and 19% higher than at the same time last year.<br /><br />"For the financial year, 27.5 million lambs were processed, making the 12-month period the largest on record, and 25% above the five-year average".<br /><br />Sheep slaughter was down 2% this quarter to 2.7%, although last quarter the record was the highest since 2018. For the financial year, sheep slaughter lifted 19% on last year to 10.2 million head, which was the highest since 2008.<br /><br />Combined sheep and lamb slaughter for FY 2023-24 lifted 20% from 2022-23 to 37.8 million head.</p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-24 00:25:14 | 2025-08-06 18:52:11 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7688 | QMS: The 2024 Meat Voucher Scheme promotes red meat in Schools | As pupils across Scotland head back to the classroom this month, they're in for an extra treat - Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb, and Specially Selected Pork are returning to the curriculum with the 2024 Meat Voucher Scheme, run by Quality Meat Scotland (QMS). | <p>Last year, the scheme was embraced by 300 schools, demonstrating its significant impact on incorporating high-quality, sustainable red meat into educational activities and pupils’ diets. Building on its success in previous years, the Meat Voucher Scheme continues to play a crucial role in teaching children the benefits of locally sourced Scotch-assured red meat.</p> <p>This year, participating schools will receive up to £180 worth of vouchers to spend with their local Scotch Butcher Club member on premium red meat products. Alongside these vouchers, schools will have access to a comprehensive bank of recipe and other resources filled with ideas and tools designed to inspire both children and teachers. These resources are closely linked to the ‘Tasty Little Weeks’ initiative, which is set to be a highlight of this year's programme.</p> <p>Tracy Martin, Health and Education Coordinator at QMS, said: “We are delighted to bring back the Meat Voucher Scheme this year, offering schools a fantastic opportunity to explore the flavours and nutritional benefits of Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb, and Specially Selected Pork. Our resources are designed to help teachers deliver engaging lessons that resonate with students and promote healthy, sustainable eating habits.”</p> <p>The 2024 Meat Voucher Scheme invites schools to spotlight Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb, and Specially Selected Pork throughout the school year. The "Tasty Little Weeks" initiative, central to this year’s programme, features three dedicated weeks that allow schools to focus on each type of protein:</p> <ul> <li>Tasty Little Pork Week: October 2024</li> <li>Tasty Little Lamb Week: November 2024</li> <li>Tasty Little Beef Week: February 2025</li> </ul> <p>QMS will collaborate with partners like Scottish Craft Butchers for Tasty Little Pork Week to align with their ‘Porktober’ event—and the Institute of Auctioneers and Appraisers in Scotland (IAAS), whose Lamb for St. Andrews initiative coincides with Tasty Little Lamb Week.</p> <p>These themed weeks are designed to provide pupils with hands-on experiences, from learning about the nutritional benefits of red meat to understanding the importance of supporting local farmers and sustainable food practices, as well as career opportunities in the sector.</p> <p>Alison Bankier, Home Economics teacher at Mearns Castle High School, added: "The Meat Voucher Scheme has been an incredible resource for our students. It’s not just about cooking—it’s about learning where our food comes from and the importance of supporting local farmers. The students are excited to participate again this year".</p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-24 00:05:29 | 2025-08-06 14:53:21 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7687 | HCC: Red meat risk report finding variable and not conclusive | Red meat has been proven time and time again to play a positive role in a balanced, healthy diet – that’s the key message from Hybu Cig Cymru – Meat Promotion Wales (HCC) in response to the recent report released by University of Cambridge, which suggested that meat consumption is associated with a higher type 2 diabetes risk. | <p><span lang="DE">The findings, which have been published in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology (Wednesday, 21 August 2024), have been said to be variable and not conclusive. In addition, it has been reported that experts not involved with the research have said that while it proved only an association, and not causation, the results aligned with current healthy eating recommendations.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Responding to the news from her farm in Monmouthshire, HCC Chair Catherine Smith said: "Red meat, as part of balanced and healthy diet, and eaten in the right quantities, has many health benefits for people of all ages. The suggestions made here are not conclusive and consumers can rest assured that the vast majority of scientists are positive about red meat’s nutritional, ecological, environmental and ethical role in society.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Lean red meat is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, and when combined with other healthy ingredients, contributes towards good health as part of a balanced diet. The simplest way to a healthy lifestyle is to eat a variety of different foods and red meat is one food group that can help us keep on top of our intakes of iron, potassium, magnesium, zinc, B Vitamins, Vitamin D at all stages of life.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Packed with these essential vitamins and minerals, a balanced diet with lean red meat at its core can help us throughout our lives to keep fit and well. Eating up to 500g of cooked red meat per week can be central to a healthy and balanced diet".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Red meat also contains phosphorus, which is needed for normal growth and development of children’s bones and is also protein rich, which is ideal in a quick beef stir-fry after a session at the gym to help you recover, build and maintain muscle mass and feel energised.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Lean red meat (beef, lamb and pork) is naturally rich in protein, low in salt and provides a range of essential vitamins and minerals including B Vitamins - B12, Niacin (B3), B6, Vitamin D and minerals such as Iron, Zinc and potassium. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Mrs Smith added that: "By replacing red meat with alternative ingredients, people could be at risk of missing out on some essential nutrients that the human body needs to maintain good health". </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Current guidelines by the UK’s Department of Health and Social Care recommends that we eat up to around 70g of red meat per day or 500g of cooked red meat per week (approx. 750g of raw meat)/5 portions per week. By keeping portions to the size of your hand or a deck of cards, and combining them with a range of other healthy ingredients, people can enjoy five red meat meals per week. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Consumers are also advised to enjoy lean cuts, use healthy cooking methods and avoid eating too much processed red meat.</span></p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-23 00:30:11 | 2025-08-06 15:24:01 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7686 | Data shows Australian grain fed beef sector continues to grow | The Australian lot feeding sector continues to go from strength-to-strength with numbers of cattle on feed exceeding 1.4 million head and capacity breaking 1.6 million head for the first time, according to the June 2024 quarterly feedlot survey published by the Australian Lot Feeders’ Association (ALFA) and Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA). | <p><span lang="DE">ALFA President, Barb Madden said that confidence in the feedlot production system and continued positive trading conditions coupled with increased feedlot capacity are behind the latest figures.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Feedlot capacity is an enabler of growth in the number of cattle Australia can have on feed. National capacity increased in the June quarter as more than 43,000 additional available cattle placements came online under the National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"This indicates that the Australian feedlot sector’s capacity has grown by 5% year-on-year and is the first-time capacity has exceeded 1.6 million head", said Mrs Madden.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Favourable trading conditions during the June quarter gave feedlot operators confidence to fill pen space, with the number of additional cattle on feed increasing by over 63,000 to break 1.4 million head for the first time", continued Mrs Madden.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Even with increases in capacity across major lot feeding states, the lift in cattle on feed resulted in feedlot utilisation hitting 87%, which is the second highest level on record".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"The record numbers experienced in the June quarter tells us that confidence in Australia’s grain fed beef production system remains high, and our feedlot sector continues to go from strength-to-strength", concluded Mrs Madden.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE"> Erin Lukey, MLA’s Senior Market Information Analyst, said that feeder steer prices remaining low on long term averages and elevated demand for grain fed beef on the global market have provided a stable base for lot feeders.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Throughput of steers through MLA’s National Feeder Steer Indicator lifted again in the June quarter and remains 22% above the same quarter last year. At the same time, prices have eased 2% to a national average of 323¢/kg lwt. Queensland, as Australia’s largest lot feeding state, was the biggest driver of this, with supply up 23% on the previous quarter, and prices easing by 8%", said Ms Lukey.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE"> Australian processors and exporters have been exporting record volumes of grain fed beef over the past 12 months, supported by global demand. June quarter export statistics show Australia exported our largest volume of grain fed beef on record, tipping 90,500 tonnes: 15% above our five-year averages.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Japan, China and Korea remain strong as Australia’s leading grain fed export market destinations. While supply through to China eased 8%, this was coming off strong previous quarters", said Ms Lukey.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"The increase in demand for grain fed beef from the United States cannot be ignored. Exports to the United States lifted 25% on last quarter to 2,900 tonnes, sitting at nearly double the long-term average. The United States have been in a destocking phase for five years and will remain in an extended recovery period".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE"> "Access into the United States and competing markets such as Japan and Korea will continue to support our grain fed industry over the coming quarters, as the US supply remains contracted", concluded Ms Lukey.</span></p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-23 00:25:33 | 2025-08-06 18:38:04 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7685 | Danish Crown: New deputy chairman in place | It is only eight months since Daniel O. Pedersen was elected to the board of Danish Crown AmbA, and now he has been elected as deputy chairman with the support of the entire board. | <p><span lang="EN-GB">"</span><span lang="DE">I entered the board work with a goal of creating change. I have believed from the start that I have something to offer so that we can make the right decisions and move Danish Crown. I will now prioritize that work even more in everyday life", says Daniel O. Pedersen.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">36-year-old Daniel O. Pedersen is from North Jutland and runs a farm with pig production and plant breeding near Hjørring. He produces 120,000 piglets annually and fattens the 40,000 himself for slaughter at Danish Crown. The plant farm is on 1,100 hectares, and in addition he is the main shareholder in the biogas company Agri Energi Vraa, which he, together with a group of North Jutland farmers, is currently transforming into a cooperative.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"For me, it's about attacking challenges and problems rather than waiting, and then we have to dare to go against the grain from time to time. However, the work on the board entails a completely different kind of responsibility than at home on the farm. It obligates, but it is not a responsibility that must make us shake our hands when decisions have to be made", says Daniel O. Pedersen.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The board of Danish Crown AmbA has, in connection with the constitution, chosen to let Søren Bonde handle part of the tasks normally carried out by the deputy chairman. This is done to ensure that there are sufficient resources to both follow up on the company's operations, complete the work of the bylaws committee and get the new group management off to a good start.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"I am really happy that Daniel has the courage to take on the task as deputy chairman. He is young, he is enterprising, and he is sharp when it comes to analyzing Danish Crown's business. He joined the A/S board from the start, which is why he already knows the business very well. At the same time, we in the board have assessed that it will strengthen the chairmanship to have Søren Bonde to supplement us in some areas, so that we will follow up all the way around in the coming months", says Asger Krogsgaard, chairman of Danish Crown AmbA.</span></p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-23 00:20:28 | 2025-08-06 08:35:22 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7684 | ABPA: Opening of Panama to poultry and swine expands opportunities in Central America | The Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) celebrated the announcement made by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock about the opening of the Panama market for Brazilian chicken and pork meat. | <p><span lang="DE">The Panamanian Food Agency – a body of the Government of Panama equivalent to the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture – responds to a sectoral request made to the Brazilian Government and forwarded to the authorities of the Central American country in 2023 for the opening of the market to pork and poultry products.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Country of 4.4 million inhabitants and with a large tourist flow, with one of the highest per capita consumption of chicken meat in Latin America - around 54 kilos per capita in 2023, according to the Instituto Latinoamericano del Pollo (ILP ) - and with a per capita consumption of pork of 12.6 kilos, according to FAOSTAT – Panama is a market with significant external demand for products.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In 2023, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Panama imported 15,500 tons of chicken meat - almost entirely from the United States and Canada - and 17,000 tons of pork - also from, mostly from North America.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The opening of the market offers, in this sense, an opportunity for diversification for the Panamanian population, complementing local protein production – according to the ILP, Panama produced 218.4 thousand tons of chicken meat in 2023.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Just as it has acted in other nations, Brazil must act in complementarity with local production, expanding the offer of products and generating opportunities for processors and other Panamanian suppliers. This is yet another international advance achieved by Minister Carlos Fávaro and his team, generating more opportunities and partnerships for poultry and pig farming in Brazil", assesses the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.</span></p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-23 00:15:32 | 2025-08-06 17:29:03 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7683 | B+LNZ: Sheep and cattle numbers down as carbon forestry, drought and low prices continue to impact sector | Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) has released its annual Stock Number Survey, showing a notable decline in both sheep and cattle numbers as of 30 June 2024. | <p><span lang="DE">The reduction follows significant decreases in the past couple of years. While the primary driver in previous years has been land-use change as a result of the conversion of sheep and beef farms into forestry, this year’s primary driver was drought in key sheep and beef regions. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Drought has seen farmers needing to destock and impacted the outlook for lamb production for the coming season. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Sheep numbers are estimated to have decreased by 4.3 percent, down to 23.31 million, with breeding ewe numbers falling by 2.9 percent and trading sheep stock numbers fell 7.9 percent. Farmers sought to maintain their breeding ewes and decreased their trading stock more. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The decline in ewes and a lower expected lambing percentage, also caused by drought, means the lamb crop is anticipated to decrease by 4.8 percent (970,000 head) on last year. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Beef cattle numbers are down 2.8 percent overall, most significantly in the South Island, where drought led to a 7.1 percent decrease, while the North Island is relatively steady, down 0.8 percent. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"This year has been particularly tough for sheep and beef farmers", says Kate Acland, Chair of B+LNZ. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"The combination of drought across many parts of the country, high costs, and low sheep prices and has put immense pressure on farmers. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Farmers are facing tough decisions on their farms, with many having to sell off capital livestock not only due to drought but for cashflow reasons. This will not only affect their income this year but will also have long-term implications for future profitability". </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The report indicates that while there may be a partial rebuild of stock numbers in some regions in the coming season, the full recovery of sheep numbers to pre-drought levels is unlikely, due to ongoing land use change into carbon forestry. The number of beef cattle may recover more quickly as prices have remained strong for beef and farmers have been switching from sheep to cattle. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The early destocking, lower stock numbers overall and current desire to rebuild livestock (in regions impacted by adverse weather events) is contributing to a shortage of animals available for processing. This is exacerbated by lower bull numbers due to less calves reared two years ago, when profit margins were low. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE"> Acland says the challenges of the last few years are likely to have wide-ranging and lasting repercussions. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"The long-term decline in stock numbers is concerning, it directly impacts the ongoing sustainability of farming and rural communities. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Our sector is an economic powerhouse, generating significant export revenue and supporting the livelihoods of thousands of Kiwis across the country, so these impacts will be felt by the whole economy".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Acland says B+LNZ has recently strengthened its strategic focus to sit more strongly behind the farm gate, focussing on issues that farmers can control that directly impact productivity and profitability. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"While current conditions are tough, the medium-term outlook remains positive, we’ve weathered downturns before, and I remain optimistic about the future. Worldwide demand for high-quality sustainably produced protein is growing and New Zealand is well placed to fill this demand", she says. </span></p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-23 00:10:22 | 2025-08-06 02:05:16 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7682 | Argentine: The government modernizes the bovine classification management system | Argentine is moving towards modernizing its meat industry by eliminating formalities and making it easier to access the new methodology. | <p><span lang="DE">The National Government introduced changes in the management of bovine classification, with the aim of achieving 100% classification at slaughter. This methodology classifies the animal after slaughter according to its category, age, sex, finish and conformation and thus determines the quality of the product. This process is crucial to adding value at each link in the meat chain.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Resolution 96/2024 of the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries contemplates the repeal of 8 regulations (Provisions 1962/04 and 2557/03; Resolutions 75/73, 130/77, 418/73, 282/70, 956/97 and 240/90), the modification of two (1165/11 and 400/01) and the continuity of five others.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In this way, the optional category of "Meat Classifier" is introduced for each slaughterhouse and seeks to expand the percentage of classified meat to more plants. Currently, only 65% of the national slaughter is classified in 78 plants. With this regulation, it is intended to cover 100% of the slaughter in three stages of implementation, depending on the traffic and volume of slaughter at each plant.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The resolution also makes certain requirements more flexible to facilitate its adoption, such as the choice of identification systems and improvements in the training of classifiers. The registration of new classifiers will be more transparent, through the Single Registry of the Agroindustrial Chain. With these measures, the Government seeks to modernize and ensure the quality of Argentine meat worldwide.</span></p> | 1 | Technology | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-23 00:05:43 | 2025-08-06 21:29:44 | Details Edit Delete | |

There has also been evidence of transmission beyond birds, including among dairy cows and farm workers in the United States.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"We are going to relaunch a major vaccination campaign because this has proven its effectiveness", said Marc Fesneau.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The authorities have ordered nearly 68 million vaccine shots from French firm Ceva Sante Animale and Germany's Boehringer Ingelheim for the upcoming campaign, after vaccinating around 50 million ducks in the past year, the agriculture ministry added in a statement.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The cost of the second vaccination program will be similar to the approximately 100 million euros invested last year and would be 70% financed by the government, Fesneau said.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">That is less than the 85% government contribution last year and reflects the aim of gradually shifting the cost towards the poultry sector, he said.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">France is also planning vaccination campaigns to contain two other livestock viruses – bluetongue and epizootic haemorrhagic disease, or EHD.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The authorities are providing millions of doses of bluetongue vaccines free of charge for sheep and cattle farms after a new variant of the disease, which can be deadly for ruminants, spread from northern Europe.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">As of Aug. 14, 41 outbreaks of bluetongue had been detected in northeast France, the ministry said. The vaccination campaign began last week.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">For EHD, a factor behind protests by French farmers earlier this year, a vaccine will be made available soon, Fesneau said.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The disease is continuing to spread among cattle in southwest France, where thousands of cases have been detected.</span></p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-22 00:10:36 | 2025-08-06 21:29:45 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7678 | Half a million genotypes reached for MERINOSELECT | Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) Sheep Genetics program has hit a new milestone with the latest MERINOSELECT analysis reaching 500,000 genotypes – making it the largest genomic evaluation of its type anywhere in the world. | <p><span lang="DE">MERINOSELECT is Australia’s genetic evaluation system for Merino producers. It produces Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) that enable sheep producers to select animals accurately on their genetic merit to suit individual production systems and breeding goals.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Genotyping is the process of finding differences in the genetic makeup of individual sheep in their DNA sequences.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">With 500,000 genotypes reached, this means that the unique genetic makeup of half a million sheep is now routinely incorporated into the industry genetic evaluations on a fortnightly basis.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The increase in number of genotypes, rate of genetic progress and number of animals submitted to Sheep Genetics means that sheep producers have access to more animals with Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) than ever before and the merit of these animals is continuing to improve.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">According to Peta Bradley, Manager of Sheep Genetics for MLA, the benefits of having more genotypes in the system will help sheep producers select for traits that can be harder to record on farm or are recorded later in life. Often these traits are still important to on-farm production and include traits like reproduction and adult fleece traits.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"More than 50% of the rams for sale this year with MERINOSELECT ASBVs have a genotype that is used in the evaluation", Ms Bradley said.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"As the use of Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) continues to grow within the commercial sector we’ve seen corresponding growth in the number of animals and clients involved in Sheep Genetics".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The MERINOSELECT evaluation is delivered through Sheep Genetics and is supported by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU) based at the University of New England (UNE) in Armidale, NSW.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">AGBU play a pivotal role in running the genetic evaluation for Merino sheep. All of the 500,000 genotypes are, combined every fortnight with data on 4.1 million animals to produce the genetic evaluation.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"There are over 80 traits and indexes reported from the analysis enabling sheep producers to access tools that help them drive genetic progress towards their breeding objective", Ms Bradley said.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"It is a monumental effort by the team to ensure this valuable industry service continues to be a world leading genetic evaluation lead by the Research and Development at AGBU and delivered to industry by Sheep Genetics".</span></p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-22 00:05:31 | 2025-08-06 19:19:44 | Details Edit Delete | |

| 7676 | Argentine: Beef exports in the first half of the year were the highest since 1990 | The record represented an income of 1.346 billion dollars from the sale of more than 450 thousand tons. In the first half of 2024, Argentine exported a total of 454,711 tons (equivalent to bone-in beef), the highest value recorded for the first half of the year, with data available since 1990, according to a report from the Rosario Stock Exchange. | <p><span lang="DE">This volume represents an increase of 10% compared to the first half of 2023, while the improvement is around 18% compared to the average of the last five years in the same period.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">While exports are increasing, production is decreasing by 10% year-on-year, after the production record of 2023, supported by the need to send animals to slaughter in a context of shortage of pastures and water caused by drought.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">This combination of factors means that exports in the first half of this year account for 30.6% of total production. This figure is a record and is five percentage points above the average of the last five years in the same period, which is 25.6%.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">A major explanatory factor behind this increase in beef exports is the great dynamism of demand from China, Argentine's main buyer at an international level (57% of the total exported).</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the Asian giant's foreign beef purchases are expected to reach a record 3.9 million tons so far in 2024, which, if confirmed, would imply 323 thousand tons or +9% additional demand compared to the previous year.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Although beef exports grew by 10% in volume year-on-year, the value remained practically unchanged when measured in dollars due to falling prices. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In the first half of 2024, the country received around US$ 1,346 million in beef exports, only 0.1% above the previous year and in line with the average for the last five years.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">This is the second highest figure after the record of US$ 1,676 million achieved in the first half of 2022.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The drop is entirely explained by a decrease in prices: in the first half of 2022 the average export price was around US$ 4,406 per tonne, while in the current year the average price fell to US$ 2,959/t, that is, a decrease of 33% in the last two years.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Despite this, the fundamentals for prices in the coming months appear promising, due to the strong international demand, which according to the USDA will lead to final beef stocks falling by 9.7% this year.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">By 2025, private analysts expect prices to be supported by a reversal in the liquidation phase of the livestock cycle in important suppliers such as Brazil, the United States, Argentine and Uruguay.</span></p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-21 00:25:51 | 2025-08-06 19:32:40 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7675 | Germany: Young people like to eat more poultry meat | Eating just to be full? Not for Gen Z, for whom food is very important: almost 80 percent make a conscious decision about what goes on their plate every day. For 76 percent of those surveyed, this depends primarily on taste. | <p><span lang="DE">A reasonable price, good nutrients and easy preparation are crucial for 50 percent of people when choosing their food. Aspects such as sustainability or regionality are important for around 25 percent. These are the results of the study "Poultry and Gen Z", which was carried out by Civey on behalf of the German poultry industry. 1,000 people between the ages of 16 and 29 were surveyed - including on the topic of meat consumption.</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="DE">Poultry is by far the most popular type of meat</span></strong></p> <p><span lang="DE">Almost 50 percent of the study participants eat poultry most frequently, followed by beef, which is preferred by 24 percent of the participants. Less than 8 percent say they do not eat meat. There are clear differences between the sexes here: while only 4 percent of men do not eat meat, almost 12 percent of young women do not eat meat. Women tend to eat poultry even more often than men.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">80 percent eat chicken, turkey, duck, etc. at least once a week, 45 percent eat three days a week or even more often.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">When it comes to arguments in favor of poultry meat, respondents cited good taste as the most common answer (62 percent), followed by high protein content (58 percent), good nutritional value (39 percent) and easy preparation (36 percent). The good ecological balance of poultry meat is only a reason for consuming poultry meat for 7 percent of respondents.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The result was completely different when asked about the importance of poultry for a healthy diet, with 70 percent of participants considering it important. It is therefore not surprising that 30 percent of Gen Z respondents said they would like to eat more poultry in the next two years.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Wolfgang Schleicher, Managing Director of the Central Association of the German Poultry Industry, commented on the study results: "Our study shows that the diet of young people is characterized by health awareness, affordability and enjoyment. Chicken, turkey and other types of poultry meat are the ideal choice for today and in the future. That is why we as an industry will continue to do everything in our power to offer a high-quality and safe product at an affordable price".</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="DE">Generation Z often cooks for themselves</span></strong></p> <p><span lang="DE">A good 80 percent of young adults cook their own meals three days a week or more, and 40 percent even do so every day. Men eat at home less regularly than women.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">When it comes to how often people eat out, the study shows different results: 30 percent of Generation Z say they eat out at least five times a week, while just over a quarter do so less than weekly.</span></p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-21 00:20:20 | 2025-08-06 19:55:07 | Details Edit Delete | |

The burger is served with a side of gunpowder podi (a coarse spice mix) fries. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Chetan’s humility and passion were evident as he spoke about the honour of being a B+LNZ ambassador chef. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"I feel very proud and grateful to be an ambassador chef for B+LNZ, as New Zealand beef and lamb play such a pivotal role on our menu. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"I love showcasing the work our farmers carry out to both our local and international guests". </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">His dedication to quality ingredients is evident as he explains the inspiration behind his lamb burger. He emphasised the significance of chicory in the lamb’s diet, attributing the soft, tender texture of the meat to this special ingredient. Chicory even features as a centrepiece on the tables in the restaurant, allowing diners to experience its fresh, earthy flavour firsthand. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Grass-fed beef and lamb have been integral to my menus since day one", Chetan says. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"In my 23 years in New Zealand, I have consistently been amazed by the flavour profile, taste, and consistency of our beef and lamb". </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Chetan is not alone in celebrating the best NZ has to offer with lamb- and beef-based burgers making up 102 of the options for hungry Wellington diners as part of the WOAP Festival. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Activities like the ambassador chef programme is one way B+LNZ is working across a range of areas to build trust and reputation with the wider public, in response to farmers asking us to tell their stories. </span></p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-21 00:15:00 | 2025-08-06 18:06:55 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7673 | MLA: People who know more about red meat are eating more of it | New research from Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has shown metropolitan Australians who are knowledgeable about the red meat industry are likely to be eating more red meat. | <p>The latest Community Sentiment Research surveyed 1501 Australians aged 18 - 64 who reside in the five main capital cities in Australia. It is conducted each year to inform MLA’s investments in community communication and marketing to drive better understanding of red meat production and nutritional benefits for everyday Australians.<br /><br />According to Group Manager – Community Communications and Events at MLA, Samantha Jamieson, the research indicates a positive perception of the Australian beef and lamb industries by metro community members.<br /><br />"Community perceptions of the industry remain steady with 63% having a positive perception of the beef industry and 60% having a similar perception of the lamb industry", Ms Jamieson said.<br /><br />"A further 27% – 29% have no concerns, with the remaining 16% - 18% either not knowing or having some level of concern, the lowest level over the past three years, and similar to levels over the past decade.<br /><br />"Notably, most Australians see the red meat industry as vital to the Australian economy and job creation, especially in regional areas. 71% of those surveyed also have confidence in Australian beef and lamb producers to provide safe, nutritious and sustainable food.<br /><br />"Nearly two-thirds of Australians also say that they trust the red meat industry to do what is right, and farmers are trusted nearly as much as engineers, teachers and scientists.<br /><br />"The research demonstrates Australians’ positive perceptions and understanding about the important role red meat producers play in feeding the nation".<br /><br />The high level of trust in the red meat industry centers around education and knowledge of the Australian beef and lamb industries.<br /><br />While a third of Australians consider themselves knowledgeable about the industry, over half want to learn more. In addition, 73% think children should be learning about the industry in school.<br /><br />"Importantly, the correlation between higher levels of industry knowledge and better perceptions about the industry have been seen again in this year’s survey", Ms Jamieson said.<br /><br />"For Australians who have knowledge about the industry, 72% say that they believe Australian cattle are raised humanely, which compares to 55% of metro Australians without that knowledge.<br /><br />"A similar trend applies for the environment. As understanding of the industry increases, so does the sentiment that people believe producers care for the environment.<br /><br />"This demonstrates that the more you know about the industry, the more you like about it, which is encouraging to see. It highlights the importance of community engagement and educational investments through initiatives like Australian Good Meat, School educational resources, the Red Meat Ambassador program, and working with social media influencers", Ms Jamieson said.</p> <p>"One of the big recent influencer trends is around health, where there is a growing understanding of the importance of protein.<br /><br />"MLA continues to play a big role in arming social influencers with right information and language to have an engaging discussion with the community".<br /><br />The community is interested in learning more about animal welfare (45%), nutrition benefits (40%), carbon neutrality (39%) and environment initiatives (35%).<br /><br />Sustainability also ranked as a key consideration for metro Australians, with 91% citing it as important to them, and 56% say that they would think more positively about the red meat industry knowing that the industry has an ambition to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to zero.</p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-21 00:10:30 | 2025-08-06 20:30:19 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7672 | HCC: Money-saving beef project expands into Gwynedd and Anglesey | A new pilot project that aims to help beef producers save money is now searching for suitable farmers from Gwynedd and Anglesey to get involved. | <p><span lang="DE">The project – Decarbonising PGI Welsh Beef – will consider the impact of finishing beef cattle within a reduced rearing period on a business’ financial return, as well as its positive effect on the production of greenhouse gas emissions. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Hybu Cig Cymru – Meat Promotion Wales (HCC) is leading this work and is currently recruiting a total of 50 farmers to participate. The farms must be located within Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire as originally advertised, with the opportunity now opened up to include beef businesses in Gwynedd and Anglesey too.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Benefits for those involved include free carbon audits and free financial analysis which could lead to increased profits for farm businesses. In addition, they will be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win a one-night stay with breakfast and evening meal at one of Wales’ 5-star resorts.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In order to comply with the funding, provided by the ARFOR Challenge Fund, participants must be Welsh speakers. The ARFOR Challenge Fund aims to strengthen the relationship between the economy and the Welsh language in north and west Wales by awarding grants for pioneering solutions to community challenges.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">HCC’s Policy Development Lead, Russ Thomas said: "We are already working with farmers from Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire on this project and are pleased to offer the same opportunity to beef producers in north-west Wales now too. The purpose of this work is to develop efficiency within beef production systems in Wales and to ultimately help the producers make more money".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">It is also hoped that the project will have a positive impact further along the supply chain, as Russ explains: "Retailers and abattoirs are looking for livestock of consistent size, and standardisation between cuts. Retail sales and buying patterns will always be the key influences that determine the target grade specifications set by the abattoir and processor and acceptable lighter weights can range from 225kg to 400kg deadweight".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">A combination of historic and current market intelligence will be analysed as part of the project, along with the participating farmers’ individual performance data to map-out 'what-if' scenarios for each business.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Russ added: "By working with a group of 50 farmers, the work will generate information and results to inform the wider industry across Wales. These, it is hoped will include increased Welsh prime beef output with reduced stocking density and emissions, brand improvement for PGI Welsh Beef with evidenced sustainability, and improved confidence in the beef sector for consumers. </span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"As the red meat sector comes under growing pressure to reduce carbon and methane emissions, it is important that we also consider our environmental practices. This project will consider both of these important aspects, with the aim of securing a profitable future of the sector".</span></p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-08-21 00:05:57 | 2025-08-06 02:02:10 | Details Edit Delete | |
