# Short supply lifts foetal blood prices | Meat & Livestock Australia

> Australian foetal blood prices averaged $380 per litre ex-works in November, up 79% year-on-year, according to MLA's co-product report. Prices are supported by reduced female cattle slaughter, which fell to 47% in October from 50% in 2015, as herd rebuilding continues.
