About meat of sheep, fresh or chilled

This industry is a vital component of the global livestock and meat processing sector, providing a crucial source of protein and sustenance for populations around the world. Sheep farming and meat production play a significant role in the agricultural economies of many countries, contributing to food security, employment, and export earnings.
Production process
The production of fresh or chilled sheep meat involves several key steps. Sheep are typically raised on farms or ranches, where they are bred, fed, and cared for until they reach the appropriate age and weight for slaughter. The animals are then transported to specialized slaughterhouses or abattoirs, where they are humanely processed into various meat cuts and products. The meat is then chilled, packaged, and distributed to wholesalers, retailers, and consumers.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of fresh or chilled sheep meat include live sheep, feed and forage, water, and various equipment and facilities for raising, transporting, and processing the animals. Farmers and ranchers rely on land, pastures, and barns to house and care for the sheep. Slaughterhouses and meat processing plants require specialized machinery, such as stunning devices, cutting tools, and refrigeration systems, to handle and preserve the meat.
Production outputs
The primary output of cpc code 21115 is fresh or chilled sheep meat, which can be sold as whole carcasses, cuts, or further processed into a variety of products.
