Cattle and buffalo meat typically boast higher protein content than other meats, such as chicken and pork. Growing consumer awareness regarding the importance of protein in their diets and a shift in preference towards beef—partially driven by health concerns related to poultry and pork—are further expected to fuel growth in this segment.
