In 2023, Germany led European bull slaughterings with 443.16 thousand metric tons, followed by France and Poland. Germany showed a -2.46% decline year-on-year, while Spain grew by 6.47%. Notably, Macedonia saw a significant rise in slaughtering, increasing by 6.96%. Countries like Denmark and Greece experienced sharper declines, at -8.69% and -7.33%, respectively.
