By the close of 1995 there were 429,000 cattle and 196,000 hogs and pigs on Puerto Rico farms and ranches. Production of meat animals in 1995 included 39.69 million lb (18,000 metric tons) of beef, and 33.075 million lb (15,000 metric tons) of pork. Sales of cattle and calves amounted to $51.6 million in 1992; hogs and pigs, $11.6 million.
Leading dairy and poultry products in 1995 were 822.465 million lb (373,000 metric tons) of milk, 39,690 lb (18 metric tons) of eggs, and 136.71 million lb (62,000 metric tons) of broilers. In 1995, there were about 14 million chickens on Puerto Rican poultry farms. Dairy and poultry sales in 1992 totaled $197.7 million and $98.9 million, respectively.
Approximately 23,473,000 lb of livestock products were produced in 2002, for a total value of $29,534,000. Although increases in dairy, beef, egg, pork, and poultry production have been realized in the early 2000s, those increases have not kept up with domestic demand, so these products are also imported.
