Horse meat for the consumer:
Horse meat production in the case of Uruguay (conditions in the Pampa region of Argentina are similar):
There are three small to medium size slaughterhouses in Uruguay, processing some part of the country’s retired work horses, when circumstances make it viable to send them to slaughter, some 50,000 animals per year. 100% of the meat is exported, mainly to France, Italy, Belgium. Uruguayans don’t eat horse meat. In the land of the world’s highest ratio of cattle per capita beef is rather inexpensive. With both consumers and legislation ever more demanding, rightfully, meat production to have the smallest possible impact on environment and climate, horsemeat production in Uruguay, grass fed on natural rangeland can fulfill that.
With regard to cattle meat, Uruguay is already a producer that markets its beef as a natural prime product („Uruguay Grass Fed Beef“)
