The number of animals slaughtered in Thuringia continues to fall. Last year, around 266,000 animals were killed in the state, around five percent fewer than in 2022, according to the State Statistical Office on Friday. Last year, 44,028 tons of meat were produced from the slaughtered animals. The slaughter volume thus decreased by 3046 tons or 6.5 percent compared to the previous year.
According to the statisticians, most of the slaughtering in 2023 was commercial (96.2 percent). There were 10,105 domestic slaughterings in Thuringia last year. Their number therefore only decreased slightly.
