Abstract
The growth and factors influencing meat production were examined in Karnataka. The results revealed that the cattle and buffalo populations exhibited a declining trend which in turn affected the state's beef and carabeef production. The growth for goat population in the state was negative while sheep population exhibited a mixed trend. As a result, chevron production registered a marginal increase (0.74 per cent) while mutton production recorded a dismal growth of 1.83 per cent at the state level during the study period. The results revealed that meat production across the divisions was significantly influenced by area under cereals, area under pasture and grazing lands and number of registered slaughter houses.
