“…This is due to the increase in demand for offal meat consumption and the inability to keep up with such demand. Presently, meat and offal meat are a vital piece in the human diet as a result of the nutritional benefits obtained from these products [5]. The nutritional benefits enjoyed by society cannot be over emphasized.…”

This study was conducted to determine the consumers’ perceptions and factors influencing offal meat consumption in Amathole District in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. A total of 202 consumers from Amathole District were randomly sampled from three municipalities. The study revealed that consumers were more influenced by the freshness, price, and availability of the product and these factors determine the point of purchase. The most preferred purchase-point for offal meat in this study was butchery. However, sheep offal was more preferred to cattle offal. The point of purchase, however, remains a prominent factor among other factors that could influence decision making for any consumer. When it comes to offal meat, the results showed that the majority of consumers purchased more liver, intestine, and tripe, which is because they are often sold in a combo at the butchery. Furthermore, it was revealed that consumers have nutritional knowledge of the offal meat products before making their purchase but health reasons emerged as a factor that the consumers considered the least at the point of purchase.

“…Both male and female animals are slaughtered at the abattoirs/slaughterhouses for meat and meat products. It is now a trend in the abattoirs to slaughter pregnant animals for meat, rituals, religious festivals, ceremonies, drug formulation, disease control or for financial purposes (Fayemi and Muchenje, 2013;Cadmus and Adesokan, 2010). Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) estimated that global meat and milk consumption must double by 2050 to meet population growth and it was also estimated that global population will be 9 billion by 2040 (Onteru, et al, 2010;Zakia et al, 2016).…”

Meat consumption demand is increasing with the growing population; however, livestock foetal wastage in the abattoirs/slaughter slabs in Nigeria is being documented. The trend of slaughtering pregnant animals is against the existing meat edict of 1968 and this accounts for a decrease in livestock production and huge financial losses which invariably affects the livestock economy. Hence, a 5-year retrospective study (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)) was conducted to assess the level of economic implication of foetal wastages in cattle and goats slaughtered in Jos abattoir. The data collected were analyzed using Microsoft Excel, tables, and a graph chart. The total number of cattle and goat slaughtered and their foetuses were reported as documented. A total of 26,242 cattle and 4,612 goats were slaughtered, representing a yearly 5,250 and 922, monthly 437 and 77, and daily15 and 2.6 averages respectively. Out of these a total of 1,346 (4.5%) and 1,044 (22.6%) fetuses were wasted representing a yearly 269 and 209, monthly 22 and 17 and daily0.75 and 0.6for cattle and goats respectively. The economic loss associated with the total foetal wastages for cattle and goats in the present study was estimated at ₦174,980,000 ($571,830.07) and ₦10,044,000 ($328,235.29) respectively. The annual averages of cattle and goat fetal wastage are ₦34,970,000

Thus, in Nellore the transuterine migration of conceptus may not exist, or consists of a rare event, in addition, the sex ratio and predilection are not distinguished from the symmetrical distribution, still keeping in mind the higher functional activity of the right ovary compared to the left, and the establishment of fetometry equation being CR and CN as variables, that can be useful, especially in reproductive evaluation, the veterinary field routine.
