40% of USA annual corn production and 60% of USA annual soybean production is currently used in livestock feeding. Of course, the majority of forage production, in the form of pasturage, hay, haylage, balage, etc is also used in livestock feeding.
And how do we use this livestock? For dairy, beef, pork, lamb, poultry and pets (that includes horses) Of the fraction utilized for meat consumption, the pounds eaten per person per year has increased slightly:
Chicken 115 # per person in 2020 vs
95 # per person in 2010.
Beef 84 # per
person in 2020 vs 82 # per person in 2010.
Pork 67 # per
person in 2020 vs 59 # per person in 2010.
Lamb under 2 # per person in 2020 vs
1# per person in 2010.
Of 268 pounds of livestock meat consumed in 2020, Beef
represented 31.5% of the total.
This compares to 34.75% of the total consumed in 2010.
Is any
livestock meat being replaced by seafood (wild caught plus farmed)?
Seafood 19 # per
person in 2020 vs 16 # per person in 2010
Fake “meats” made from soybeans have proven to be negligible in
consumption.
