FEFAC: Compound feed production up in 2016
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - Compound
feed production in the E.U.-28 in 2016
reached 155.4 million tonnes, which is
0.4% more than in 2015, according to data
provided by European Feed Manufacturers
(FEFAC) members. Poultry feed has seen
its production grow by 2%, whereas pig
feed fell by 1% and cattle feed remained
stable.
On the pig feed side, after two years
of moderate growth, the production
decreased by 1% in 2016. This partly can
be explained by the effects of African
Swine Fever in Eastern Europe, which
weighed heavily on the development
of pigmeat production, but also by low

farm mixing.
The picture is extremely contrasted
throughout Europe for cattle feed.
The Netherlands and Poland have seen
their production of cattle feed increase
by more than 8%, whereas France moved

(AI) outbreak impacting several poultry
producing regions of Europe, poultry
feed production performed rather well in
DQGFRQ¿UPHGLWVSRVLWLRQRIOHDGLQJ
segment of E.U. industrial compound feed
production, well ahead of pig feed.
FEFAC noted that for the third year
in a row, Poland was one of the best
performing countries, with annual growth
of 4.7%, boosted by the demand for
poultry feed (up 6%), which has turned
Poland into the largest poultry producing
country in the E.U., but also a 8% increase
in cattle feed. Among the other large E.U.
producing countries, Italy, the Netherlands
and Spain recorded positive results and
Germany remained stable. France has
seen its production fall by 3% to 4% in all
segments, these changes being due either
to the shrinking of dairy production after

However, France remains in third

FEFAC market experts are predicting
a 0.5% decrease in compound feed
