27. If Cattle slaughter is banned
• With in few years the
cattle population will
rise to millions
• Will be an
uncontrollable pest
• Will graze all the grass
lands available
• Make the country a
dessert by
deforestation
28. • Small holders, will give up dairying
• They cannot feed all the cattle-no land
• No profits from selling additional cows and
bulls
• Unprofitable business
• Large herds keepers will go out of business
because their main business is beef trade
29. Suggestions
• Using sexed semen
That produce female calves at 95% accuracy
• Establish Cattle sanctuaries
That can maintain unproductive animals and
bulls
• Export all the bulls and unproductive cows
30. Conclusion
• The sex semen expensive
Still no answer to unproductive cows
• Cattle sanctuaries-there is no adequate land,
lack of grass, and non profitable venture
• Exporting Bulls and unproductive animals, for
slaughter –Again for slaughter
31. • No dairy industry without a beef
industry
• Milk powder / milk products import
from factory farms.-worse than ours
• Humane methods of cattle
management/ slaughter methods is the
need.
Editor's Notes
These cows can produce one calf a year
If we take 50% of that, every year they would produce 369,740 calves
Of which 50% would be male calves, so we will have at least 184,870 male calves per year
