Abstract
Animal protein is an essential element that helps the body grow and compensate damages resulting from nutritional imbalances. Average per capita share of animal protein is one of the most important indicators for population growth and advancement. Main sources of animal protein addressed in this research include red meat, white meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. And despite the fact that consumers prefer red meat, there exist other alternative sources that are cheaper and in the same time provide an individual with most of the daily needs of animal protein at the level of urban and rural areas. The research aimed to identify the current state of national production and consumption of animal protein from different sources; study the evolution of average per capita, surplus, shortage, and rate of selfsufficiency in animal protein; study the structure of consumption expenditure, and derive the elasticity of expenditure on animal protein components for rural and urban area over the period (2000-2013). In addition, the research studied the structure of consumption expenditure for the mentioned sources according to price levels, and estimated the price elasticity for animal protein group over the same period.
