The live animal market is poised for growth, driven by an anticipated increase in meat consumption. Meat, constituting animal flesh consumed as food, is rich in B vitamins, iron, and high-quality protein. As a primary source of meat, live animals play a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for meat consumption. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) agriculture report outlook for 2021-2030 indicates a projected increase in global meat consumption per capita, reaching 35.4 kg in retail weight equivalent by 2030. Furthermore, the global consumption of meat proteins is expected to surge by 14% by the same year. This escalating meat consumption is a key driver propelling the growth of the live animal market.
