Meat Production and Carcass Composition. 12.2.1. Meat production. The annual national mutton and goat meat production is 77 and 62 thousand metric tons, respectively, largely. because of the high average off-take rates estimated to be about 30% from sheep and 36% from goats. Sheep. and goats, respectively, contribute some 21 and 16.8% of the total ruminant livestock meat output.
