Excerpt from The Beef Cattle Industries of Central America and Panama The failure of the livestock industries of Central America and Panama to respond more vigorously to the stimulus of the increased demand for meat and the concomitant higher prices is the result of the interaction of numerous factors. Among these, the most important are probably the present concentration of cattle on lands of low natural fertility in regions subject to a prolonged dry season, the primitive and extensive systems of management which prevail, and the failure of official entities and private credit institutions to provide adequate technical and financial assistance. Though the situation varies from country to country and reliable and precise data are not available, the livestock industries of Central America and Panama are still characterized by a very slow rate of increase in the cattle population as a result of a low calving percentage and a high rate of mortality among both young and adult stock. Available evidence points to an effective average calving percentage (calves weaned) of well under 50 percent and an adult mortality rate of over 10 percent.
