According to preliminary results, commercial slaughterhouses in Germany slaughtered 59.7 million pigs, cows, sheep, goats and horses in 2019. Including poultry, companies produced a total of nearly 8.0 million tons of meat. According to the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis), the amount of meat produced fell by 1.4% compared to 2018. The decrease results from lower pork production, while beef and poultry production increased compared to the previous year.
