Survey shows a decline in the world's feed output
A piece on the insights generated by Alltech's 2020 Global Feed Survey proved popular.
The report showed a decline in the world's feed output for the first time in nine years. It estimated that international feed tonnage decreased by 1.07% to 1.126 billion metric last year. The decline was caused largely by African swine fever (ASF) and the decline of pig feed in the Asia-Pacific region, said Alltech.
The top nine feed-producing countries are the US, China, Brazil, Russia, India, Mexico, Spain, Japan and Germany, found the survey. Together, these countries produce 58% of the world’s feed production and contain 57% of the world’s feed mills, and they can be viewed as an indicator of overall trends in agriculture, said Alltech.
