Brazil's cattle herd declined by 1.5%
Last year, Brazil had the perfect weather conditions to reach a record-high grain crop but that didn't translate in a cattle herd expansion. Data collected from the Municipal Livestock Production and the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics shows that the national cattle inventory has declined in 2017 compared with the previous year.
At the end of the year, there were 214.9 million cattle in the country, which stands for a 1.5% decline of the herd, informs Salaam Gateway magazine.
At the same time, Brazilian meat industry seemed to push forward the poultry sector who registered an increase of 6% compared with the figures reported in 2016, reaching a number of 1.4 billion birds, layer hens and broilers alike. The phenomenon generated a diminished value for the animal-based foods and production of 0.4% compared to 2016.
