India is having a good potential for meat production because of large
livestock population. In India, the largest meat producer species is poultry
followed by bovines, goat and sheep. Production of meat is largely an
unorganized activity in India. The lack of appropriate slaughtering facilities
leading to unnecessary losses of meat as well as valuable by-products. The
major constraints in hygienic meat production are lack of hygienic facilities
in slaughter houses, poor transport and cold storage facilities, ignorance
about hygiene at butcher level and religious taboo. The global demand for
livestock products is an opportunity for India to increase its exports. Meat
exported from India is risk-free, lean, nutritious and competitively priced
meat. It has resulted in consistent, high compound growth rate in the export
volumes. The importers of Indian meat are Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand,
Australia, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Uttar Pradesh state has emerged
as the major exporter of buffalo meat followed by Punjab and Maharashtra.
The value addition to slaughterhouse by products generate additional
income as well as the costs of disposing of by products can be minimised.
Measures should be taken to increase the meat production efficiency of
different species of animals using the improved management practices.
There is huge potential in this sector for economic development of country
through increasing exports so the policy makers should adopt critical
measures at every stage to encourage and support this vital segment of the
Indian agriculture.
