All of the animals imported from abroad for meat in 1912 (equiva- 
lent to about 117,000,000 pounds of meat) were probably slaughtered 
within the territories of the Republic. In addition, live animals or 
meats equivalent to about 70,000,000 pounds were shipped to the 
interior provinces from the districts that after the war were ceded 
to surrounding countries.
