Feed Production Update
By Ryan Mounsey
GREAT BRITAIN 2019 Year End Overview Total production of compounds, blends and concentrates, including integrated poultry units, during the year of 2019 amounted to 13,654,100 tonnes. Whilst this was the third highest total amassed in a calendar year, 2019’s production fell a substantial 432,600 tonnes or 3.1 per cent below the record high output from a year previously. Production had been markedly below 2018 outputs throughout the entire year with each quarter of 2019 falling below its year earlier counterpart. However, the current total did surpass the average of the last 10 years of production by 426,700 tonnes or 3.2 per cent. Total feed production during 2019 was made up of: 46.4 per cent poultry feed, 29.8 per cent cattle and calf feed, 14.0 per cent pig feed, 5.4 per cent sheep feed, 3.1 per cent other feed and 1.2 per cent horse feed. December’s cattle and calf feed output brought its year-end
total to 4,074,100 tonnes, a significant 265,500 tonnes or 6.1 per cent lower than the record high production of 2018. Furthermore, 2019’s total was below the 10 year average, albeit by a minimal 5,900 tonnes or 0.2 per cent. Despite the overall drop in production, cattle protein concentrates
not only bettered their year earlier output but rose to their highest level since 1997. The 97,600 tonnes produced throughout the year was 19.5 per cent up on 2018, an increase of 15,900 tonnes. However, all other divisions decreased from year earlier levels. Of the remaining subsectors, compounds for dairy cows was the least affected by the overall downturn, ending at 2,145,400 tonnes which was just 4,700 tonnes or 0.2 per cent below its 2018 return. Proportionally, all calf feed dropped by the greatest extent, 18.8 per cent or 39,000 tonnes
down to 168,600 tonnes from the 207,600 tonnes achieved a year previously, while all other cattle feed witnessed the largest tonnage reduction, falling 114,600 tonnes or 16.3 per cent to 586,600 tonnes. Both blends for dairy cows and all other cattle blends also saw their outputs plummet from 2018 levels, with the former dropping by 77,900 tonnes or 9.0 per cent to 789,000 tonnes and the latter by 45,000 tonnes or 13.6 per cent to 287,000 tonnes. Pig feed was the sole sector that surpassed its 2018 output and
in doing so rose to its highest annual production level since the year 2000. 2019’s output bettered its year earlier counterpart by 78,400 tonnes or 4.3 per cent and the 1,914,900 tonnes amassed in the year was also 175,500 tonnes or 9.6 per cent greater than the decade long average. There were increases across the entire pig feed sector when
compared to year previous outputs. Pig growing feed was the least affected by this upturn with production growing by only a quarter of a per cent or 900 tonnes to 348,800 tonnes but pig protein concentrates surpassed its 2018 production by 16.7 per cent or 1,800 tonnes as it climbed to 12,600 tonnes of output. The sector’s largest component, pig finishing feed, also grew significantly to levels unseen this millennium, amounting to 959,900 tonnes, 46,800 tonnes or 5.1 per cent higher than in 2018. Pig starters and creep feed and link and early grower feed increased production from a year earlier by 4,100 tonnes or 7.6 per cent and 4,300 tonnes or 4.5 per cent respectively to 58,200 tonnes and 99,700 tonnes. Finally, pig breeding feed, at 435,900 tonnes, rose by 25,700 tonnes or 6.3 per cent from its year previous output. Year-end poultry feed production fell slightly short of the record
high 6,356,900 tonnes amassed in 2018 but in spite of the 15,900 tonnes or 0.3 per cent decrease, the current total of 6,341,000 tonnes was the second highest ever recorded. Additionally, 2019’s total was 311,700 tonnes or 5.0 per cent above the 10 year average. The stand out figure in poultry feed came from the near doubling
in the level of the production of poultry protein concentrates, which grew from 5,100 tonnes to 10,000 tonnes, an increase of 4,900 tonnes or 96.1 per cent. There were further advancements from year earlier levels in the sector, most notably the 48,000 tonnes or 2.3 per cent rise in broiler chicken feed to 2,181,500 tonnes. This was added to by a 6,800 tonnes or 2.0 per cent growth in poultry breeding and rearing feed, up to 353,000 tonnes and a less consequential 800 tonnes or 0.6 per cent increase in chick rearing feed, up to 140,300 tonnes. On the other hand, there were meaningful reductions across the remainder of the poultry feed divisions. Integrated poultry units and layer feed fell by 38,600 tonnes and 24,100 tonnes apiece, with the former dropping 1.8 per cent to 2,076,200 tonnes and the latter by 2.1 per cent to 1,125,900 tonnes. Turkey feed, which is already at historically low levels, was subject to the largest percentage drop (4.1 per cent) from within the whole of poultry feed; its production of 172,800 tonnes had fallen 7,400 tonnes from a year previously. Lastly, all other poultry feed declined for the second year in a row and by 6,300 tonnes or 2.2 per cent from 2018 levels, to record 281,300 tonnes of production. Despite recovering slightly in the final quarter of the year, total
