2. Overview of Food Animal Slaughter in the United States In the United States, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) inspects most meat, poultry and processed egg products for safety and proper labeling. This agency also is charged with inspecting slaughtering practices to ensure that “livestock” is killed by humane methods. The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the USDA regularly reports data related to the numbers of different animal species slaughtered for food in the United States, as well as the location—both by state and by type of slaughter facility—where animals are killed. This section presents a summary of the most current slaughter data available from NASS. 2.1 Animals slaughtered For the most part, NASS reports data on animals slaughtered in commercial establishments; however, estimates are made on the number of animals slaughtered on the farm. 4 Table 1 below gives total numbers of U.S. meat animals, excluding birds, slaughtered in 2006. 5 Table 2 presents a breakdown by state for the year 2006. Table 1. U.S. Livestock Slaughter by Species 2006 Species Total Commercial a Farm Total Slaughter Cattle 33,698,300 152,000 33,850,300 Calves 711,300 37,000 748,300 Hogs 104,736,600 108,000 104,844,600 Sheep 2,698,500 69,000 2,767,500 Total 141,844,700 366,000 142,210,700 Notes a Includes slaughter at federal, state and custom slaughter establishments. Source: USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service, Livestock Slaughter: 2006 Summary, March 2007, p. 3. 4 Farm slaughter is done primarily for home consumption; it includes mobile custom slaughtering, but excludes custom slaughter performed for farmers at commercial establishments. 5 Animals who die or are killed on the farm due to injury or disease are not included in the totals. Moreover, neither equine species nor rabbits and other traditionally non-domesticated animals, such as bison, antelope, reindeer, elk and deer, are included. 7
