MEAT INDUSTRY IN NEW ZEALAND
1. … meat industry encompasses sheep meat, beef, venison and related
products such as hides and velvet. Many in deer farming consider their industry
to be somewhat different to the sheep meat and beef industries, however they
are addressed together in this paper. There are extensive inter-linkages between
the different industries, with meat, wool and by-products such as hides pro-
