Although similar if not identical species of animals are used in
other countries, developing nations (Third World) tend to have
1) less sophisticated, 2) smaller, and 3) less specialized
livestock production operations than those in Europe, Japan, the
USSR, etc. Also, many developing nations consume large quantities
of aquatic animals, many of whom are farmed (e.g., carp). The total
amount of protein consumed in Third World countries is considerably
less than that consumed in Western nations.
