Production requirements to achieve self-supply of meat in CataloniaINTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVEPRESENT SITUATION VS IDEAL SITUATIONCONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSMarta Bayona SeguraFinal degree Project, June 2020Faculty of Veterinary MedicineThe official statistics on the production of meat are focused on the amount of meat that comes from theslaughterhouses, without giving information about the purpose of the product. No written information is found toexplain the productive requirements necessary to achieve self-supply of meat in Catalonia, present situation andfuture.The objective of present study is to establish the ideal production to self-supply the Catalan population. This studywill allow us to see how other non-productive aspects relate to the meat sector, and how it influences the healthof the inhabitants of Catalonia, environment or animal welfare.Table 1: Recommended meat consumption by WHO✓Current meat consumption: 54.7 kg person/year.✓Recommended meat consumption to self-supply: 34.46 kg person/year.✓We should consume 63% of what is currentlyconsumed.If we change the percentage of protein origin, we can see that the consumption of meat is reduced.Currently we are producing much more meat than we really need to self-supply, because we consume more than necessary and also we sell abroad.By reducing our production, we would have improvements in different aspects, such as population health, environment and animal welfare.We should need to sacrifice 13% pigs to self-supply.Sows: 130,602 to produce these pigsWe should need to sacrifice 42% calves to self-supply.Cows: 75,000 Frisians and 303,194 Brunes to produce these calvesWe should need to sacrifice 28% chicken to self-supply.Chickens: 282,826 to produce these chickens1,884,280 T238,309 TPresent situation  Ideal situation133,934 T56,352 TPresent situation  Ideal situation42%390,312 T138,656 TPresent situation  Ideal situation13%36%22,430,1282,882,160Slaughtered pigs Present animals Self-supply animals521,091219,139Slaughtered calves Present animals Self-supply animals214,708,00059,682,590Slaughtered chickensPresent animals Self-supply animals% animal originkg of meat that an inhabitant of Catalonia should consume per year% vegetable originKg of vegetable protein that an inhabitant of Catalonia should consume per year70% 34.46 30% 5.9150% 24.61 50% 9.8530% 14.77 70% 13.78ANIMAL ORIGIN VEGETABLE ORIGIN
