Air. 1  The massive amounts of excrement produced by livestock farms emit toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia into the air. Roughly 80% of ammonia emissions in the U.S. come from animal waste (The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).
Meat Production and Carcass Composition. 12.2.1. Meat production. The annual national mutton and goat meat production is 77 and 62 thousand metric tons, respectively, largely. because of the high average off-take rates estimated to be about 30% from sheep and 36% from goats. Sheep. and goats, respectively, contribute some 21 and 16.8% of the total ruminant livestock meat output. While contributing significantly to meat production in Ethiopia, present production levels of sheep and goats. are far below their potential. Productivity per animal is reported to be very low. Annual meat production is. estimated at 3â3.5 kg per animal per year in the population and 8â10 kg per animal slaughtered.
