that’s set for significant growth in 2020 and beyond is the snacks and treats market, after it has already expanded by an estimated 6% in the past year. Like pet food, snacks and treats are following human snack trends, with new varieties developing in three key areas: long lasting chews, tasty treats and functional healthy snacks.
Equine
Ruth Bishop, equine nutritionist Shift in feed production The mild winter and warm wet conditions in 2019 ensured grass growth rates remained high from spring to autumn, with no real evidence of summer reduction. At the same time, we’ve seen a general increase in equine obesity and conditions such as laminitis. The effect of this has resulted in a 20-year low in equine feed
production according to Defra – a combination of less feed, and a move perhaps to more concentrated feed balancers over more traditional ‘main meals’. The weather conditions throughout winter and spring of 2019/20 will set the pattern for demand and availability of both feed and forage.
Feed safety and doping control changes Equine focused feed safety and doping controls will undergo a refresh in 2020 – a combination of the new UFAS Code, a new version of the BETA NOPS (Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances) Code, together with the latest version of the Equine Prohibited Substances List coming into force from the FEI (Federation Equestre Internationale), will all keep equine feed producers on their toes. The changing agricultural environment together with these
new standards will require revisions to ingredient and supplier risk assessments as well as quality control procedures, not only for feed producers but for those that make supplements too.
