3 Statistics for beef and veal 2015 This publication is the yearly statistics in English on the Cattle and Beef Sector in Denmark for 2015 and nearest previous years. For EU-28 there are figures for each country concerning cattle herd, slaughtering of cattle, and beef and veal production, as well as prices for adult cattle. The main sources of information for Denmark are figures from The Statistics Denmark and The Danish Agriculture and Food Council, and for EU information from EUROSTAT and EU Commission is used. Totals does not always sum due to rounding. The specified consumption of meat in the statistics is quantities available for consumption. It is expressed as meat with bones, and is calculated on basis of production; added import, subtracted export, and adjusted for changes in stock. Danish Agriculture & Food Council has calculated the consumption of beef and veal meat per capita without bone and edible by-products to 18.5 kg in There is used a coefficient at 0.7 to transform carcass weight into retail weight (meat without bone). The actual consumption of beef and veal meat will be significantly lower, as, waste etc. are not deducted. According to Gfk ConsumerScan household panel, consumers purchase 6.2 kg per person in 2015 in shops as cuts, minced beef and veal including 40 pct. of the quantity of minced veal/beef/pigmeat, compared to 6.3 kg in 2014, and 6.6 kg in The consumption is however higher, as beef in sausages and other processed product are not included, and neither is eating out in restaurants, canteens, etc. Collection, collation and editing of the Danish Agriculture & Food Council on behalf of the Danish Livestock and Meat Beard trade organization for the beef and veal sector.
