The Effect of Unconventional Diets on the Production of Red Meat in Egypt

The problem of animal protein deficiency is one of the most important problems facing the improvement of the food level in developing countries.  The problem of research is the inability of the productive capacity of the feed resources of farm animals in Egyptian agriculture to cover the animal needs of these resources, and this problem is exacerbated due to Egypt's lack of animal feed materials in addition to the waste in agricultural products and by-products of some field crops. Get rid of them in negative ways. The research aims to study the current production status of fattening livestock in the Arab Republic of Egypt in general as well as the current production situation of traditional and non-traditional animal feed and study the size of the animal feed gap with the study of the impact of non-traditional feed on the production of fattening livestock. With regard to the study of the production situation of red meat in Egypt during the average period (2000-2017) it is clear that the minimum production of meat in Egypt reached about 696 thousand tons in 2001, while the maximum reached about 990 thousand tons in 2012, an increase of about 294 thousand tons The minimum level dropped to about 972 thousand tons in 2017, while the average annual production of red meat in Egypt during the period (2000-2017) about 904 thousand tons annually. The study of the local production of concentrated feed during the period (2000-2017) showed that it ranged between increase and decrease as the minimum amount reached about 5526 thousand tons during 2004, which represents about 6.1% of the total feed production for the same year, while the maximum amount was about 11309 thousand tons in 2015, representing about 14.8% of the production of feed for the same year, an increase of about 8.7% over 2004. The overall average production of concentrated feed in Egypt about 8587 thousand tons, representing about 9.84% in terms of the relative importance of the total production Feed in Egypt.
