First of all, carne = meat, just like in English. If you're talking about a chicken, you can say "la carne de pollo", for example. But in real life, and especially when talking about food, the term "carne" implies beef (at least in Mexico). To a lesser degree "carne" can imply pork or lamb. In common usage (in Mexico), "carne" would not be used to refer to chicken, which would be pollo.
