How Does American Meat Processing Differ from the Rest of the World?

American meat processing facilities prioritize throughput or the volume of meat that can be processed in a given amount of time.

Facilities in other parts of the world, such as Europe, typically prioritize yield or the amount of usable meat that can be obtained from each animal. This difference in priorities can lead to variations in processing methods, equipment, and even animal breeds. Differences in regulations and consumer preferences also play a role in shaping these production priorities.
