Consequently, most of the nation's meat exports are chicken products, while the pig livestock mainly serves domestic demand.
Swine and poultry livestock are essential contributors to the nation’s food security. With a rising middle class and more and more Western cuisine influence on the Thai urban consumption of milk products, the demand for dairy cow stock in Thailand has been on a steady rise over the last decade.
