What are the reasons why hippos and elephants produce so much meat, but no one keeps them to eat?

It seems that the meat is so fishy that if you eat it, you want to vomit, and it is difficult to deal with it. The most important thing is that their reproduction rate is not very high.

These animals are not kept and eaten because of the low efficiency of meat production and poor taste.

Although rhinos, hippos and elephants produce so much meat that they can last a village for a long time when they are killed, there are few people in the world who use their meat as protein**, except that these animals are not widely distributed. Specifically, there are these reasons: firstly, the meat production efficiency is low, secondly, the ratio of raw meat is too high, and finally, the taste is not good and unsuitable for eating.

The following author will explain these in detail:

Clause. 1. Elephants and other animals produce a lot of meat but no one eats it because they are too inefficient: although these animals can eventually grow to a huge size, it takes a long time, maybe decades, and it is impossible to wait for them to grow up and not eat meat for decades.

So they don't eat them because they are too inefficient at producing meat. Livestock such as pigs can be slaughtered and slaughtered in the farm for half a year to provide meat. It can be seen that people are more willing to select and domesticate pigs to provide meat feed, because they have a short cycle and high meat production efficiency.

Therefore, the reason why rhinoceros, elephants, and hippos do not eat the meat is because the meat production efficiency is too low.

Clause. 2. Elephants and other animals produce high meat but no one eats it because their feed-to-meat ratio is too high: the so-called feed-to-meat ratio is the ratio of feeding feed to meat-to-feed.

The higher the ratio, the lower the meat production, and the lower the ratio, the higher the meat production. For example, rhinoceros elephants only eat and do not grow meat, while domestic animals eat anything to grow meat, so people do not raise hippos and elephants because the feed to meat ratio is too high and the cost is high.

Clause. 3. Elephants and other animals have a high amount of meat but no one eats them because they taste very, very poor: because the meat quality of large herbivores such as rhinoceros, hippos, and elephants is coarse fiber.

Not only is it difficult to cook, but it is also extremely tough and difficult to chew. And the meat itself exudes a fishy smell, and the taste is disgusting and difficult to swallow. So the reason why they are not eaten is because the taste is really bad.

It may be unpalatable and poisonous, so you can't eat more, but you will eat some special times.

Because the cost of raising this kind of thing is relatively high, and it requires a large piece of space, if you raise it privately, you don't have that energy.
