| Research Abstract |
"Livestock Revolution" is defined as highly expanding animal consumption in the developing countries, especially in Asia,while the consumpton is not so changed in the U.S.A and U.K. The expnansion in Asia is caused by the increase of population and economic Development.
In order to analyze the growth of meat and eggs , China, Korea and Japan were selected as representative of North Asia, and Sri Lanka, India and Nepal were selected for South Asia. The main findings are as follows;
1) The livestock by-products such as liver, tongue and the other intestines are counsumed in China and Korea, but is little in Japan.
2)The consumption is highly affected by religion and culture. Beef is not cousumed in India and pork is not consumed in the Islamic countries. In most Buddist countries, it is not permitted to take lifes or kill living being, but it is acceptable to eat meat.
3) The most precious part of meat is different from country to country due to the religion and cultures. For instance, hog's liver in Thailand, hog's heart in Taiwanand liver, heart and the sweetbread of chicken in the Phillippines are thought to be very delicious.
4)Demand of precious meats of animals is different from country to country. Therefore, since each country likes different parts of meat,international trade of animal meats has changed from live-animal or carcass trade to the portion meat or part of meats. Most meat exporting countries built meat processing plants and produced many different kinds of portion meats and export to the country where there is demand for that particular meat portion.
