Feed Production Update
By Ryan Mounsey
GREAT BRITAIN December 2022 Production Total production of compounds, blends and concentrates, including integrated poultry units, during the month of December 2022 amounted to 1,229,800 tonnes, its lowest total for the month since 2014 and a decline of 66,300 tonnes or 5.1 per cent from a year previously. In addition, the total under review was a significant 47,400 tonnes or 3.8 per cent down on the decade long average for December. Total feed production during the month of December 2022 was
made up of: 42.7 per cent poultry feed, 32.8 per cent cattle and calf feed, 15.1 per cent pig feed, 6.0 per cent sheep feed, 1.7 per cent horse feed and 1.7 per cent other feed. December total poultry feed production had dropped below year
earlier levels for the third year in succession, in this instance by 37,800 tonnes or 6.7 per cent to 525,000 tonnes, its lowest output for the period in eight years. As a result, the current total fell 26,400 tonnes or 4.9 per cent under the 10 year average for the month. Following a substantial downturn in output in the corresponding
month a year previous, total cattle and calf feed production in December 2022 rose by 9,500 tonnes or 2.4 per cent to 403,100 tonnes. Despite this increase, output from the month was 17,600 tonnes or 4.3 per cent below the decade long average for December. At 185,800 tonnes, total pig feed production had decreased by a
considerable 27,600 tonnes or 12.9 per cent from its respective output a year previously. Nevertheless, the output under review outpaced the 10 year December average by 4,600 tonnes or 2.5 per cent. Total sheep feed production fell from year earlier levels by 3,800
tonnes or 4.9 per cent to 73,900 tonnes. This total was, however, the third highest of the past decade and surpassed the decade long average for the month by 5,100 tonnes or 7.2 per cent. An increase of 1,200 tonnes or 6.1 per cent brought December’s
total horse feed output up to 20,900 tonnes. As a result of this rise, the output under review was brought more or less in line with the 10 year average, which it bettered by just 100 tonnes or 0.5 per cent. For the fourth year in succession, total December other feed
production fell considerably from its corresponding output a year previously. At 21,100 tonnes the current total was 7,700 tonnes or 26.7 per cent lower than its 2021 production and an even greater 13,200 tonnes or 47.7 per cent down on the decade long average for the month. With the release of the December figures the feed production
statistics for the calendar year are completed. The production of the Great British feed industry across 2022 is analysed below.

2022 Feed Production Overview Total production of compounds, blends and concentrates, including integrated poultry units, during 2022 amounted to 13,426,800 tonnes, a decline of 710,800 tonnes or 5.0 per cent from the record high achieved a year previously. While the total under review was greater than each year of the first half of the preceding decade, the current year-end return was 182,800 tonnes or 1.4 per cent down on the 10 year average for the period. Total feed production during the year of 2022 was made up of:
45.3 per cent poultry feed, 29.6 per cent cattle and calf feed, 15.3 per cent pig feed, 6.0 per cent sheep feed, 1.6 per cent horse feed and 2.2 per cent other feed. Total poultry feed production for the year had declined from its total
a year previously by 415,300 tonnes or 6.4 per cent to 6,085,200 tonnes, its lowest total since 2015. In addition, the current total was 102,100 tonnes or 1.7 per cent down on the decade long average. It is worth noting that in 2022, there was no production statistics released for either the all other poultry feed or poultry protein concentrates subsectors, which accounted for 243,300 tonnes of the deficit from a year previous. All remaining poultry feed divisions fell below their year earlier
counterparts. Tukey feed production was at its lowest documented level for a calendar year of 100,100 tonnes, a fall of 37,900 tonnes or 27.5 per cent from a year previously. Similarly, integrated poultry units, at 2,103,300 tonnes of production, was at its second lowest level since records were kept in their current form, 49,400 tonnes or 2.3 per cent down on 2021’s return. Broiler feed output fell 132,500 tonnes or 5.9 per cent from the all-time high produced a year earlier to 2,115,300 tonnes. Layer feed and chick rearing feed both fell for the second year in succession; the former did so by 62,200 tonnes or 5.3 per cent down to 1,114,600 tonnes and the latter by 39,600 tonnes or 24.1 per cent to 124,800 tonnes of output. Finally, poultry breeding and rearing feed declined by 37,700 tonnes or 10.6 per cent from the output of the corresponding period a year earlier to 317,800 tonnes, its lowest output since the year of 2014. A 148,500 tonnes or 3.6 per cent drop in total cattle and calf feed
brought year-end production down below 4,000,000 tonnes for only the second time in the last 10 years and for the first time since 2016. The output under review of 3,979,100 tonnes was also an even more notable 152,300 tonnes or 3.8 per cent lower than the decade long calendar year average. The sector’s largest element, compounds for dairy cows, decreased
