Romania imports cattle from Ireland
A Romanian company has received 90 Aberdeen Angus live cattle from an Irish exporter in order to improve the breeding stock of the suckler herd in the destination country, informs The Independent.
The loading of the 90 cattle aged from one and a half to two years was being supervised by veterinary inspectors from the Irish Department of Agriculture and from the Romanian cattle importing company.
"We also have to be certain that the animals are in top condition leaving Ireland, and that they will maintain that condition on arrival at their destination, hence the presence of the veterinary inspectors", explained Jerry Casey, a representant of the exporter firm based in Bulgaden in County Limerick.
Consumption of beef in Romania is 5.6kgs per capita, which seems low when compared to 29kgs of pork per capita, but animal imports could grow the domestic beef market and also improve the quality of the national herd.
