Meat: Data refers to animals slaughtered within national boundaries, irrespective of their origin. All data shown refers to all meat products (i.e., slaughtered on both commercial premises and farms). Poultry meat includes meat from all domestic birds.
Milk: Data in this category refers to whole fresh milk. It excludes milk ingested by young animals but includes milk that is fed to livestock.
Eggs: Some countries do not have any statistics about egg production, and estimates had to be derived from related data, such as chicken or poultry counts, and/or reported or assumed rates of egg laying. Most of the countries that have statistics about egg production either report the total weight of eggs or the total egg count.
Wool: Wool production statistics are generally given for greasy wool (i.e., straight off the sheep).
Honey: Data refers to the amount of honey sold and collected by beekeepers.
