British Livestock Genetics

The best way of figuring out the red meat industry is to turn to the figures in the UK Yearbook 2008.

Building on the success of last year's first edition which was well-received by all sectors of the industry, this comprehensive reference is packed with 140 pages of invaluable industry data, some of it with historical comparisons going back up to 20 years.

As well as for the UK as a whole, much of the data is available separately for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, including farm costings for selected production systems.

In addition to the many tables of industry data, the UK Yearbook also includes details of how the Common Agricultural Policy currently applies to the UK and density maps illustrating the distribution of livestock.

It has been produced by the Economics team at AHDB meat services and Senior Market Analyst Sue Fisher said, "Having the latest statistics all in one place saves time when you need a quick answer in this fast-moving industry."

The UK Yearbook 2008 is available to UK customers for £40 (overseas £50); customers ordering five or more copies will receive a discount of 25%. To order, email jayne.dines@ahdbms.org.uk, or phone +44 (0) 1908 844396.

The Yearbook is part of a wide range of publications and services from the Economics team of AHDB meat services. For details, prices and an order form see www.mlceconomics.org.uk/publications.htm
