and creep feed which remained at year earlier levels. Most notably, pig finishing feed output rose by 2,300 tonnes or 3.4 per cent to 70,400 tonnes and pig growing feed surpassed 2017’s monthly total by 1,000 tonnes or 4.2 per cent, attaining 24,600 tonnes of production. Pig breeding feed also grew by 1,000 tonnes from the corresponding month a year earlier, increasing by 3.3 per cent to 31,400 tonnes. Total poultry feed, including IPU’s amounted to 466,100 tonnes,
a record output for the month. This represented a 13,000 tonne or 2.9 per cent rise from the previous year’s production and a stands at 28,900 tonnes or 6.6 per cent greater than the 10 year average for poultry feed production in February. All other poultry feed fell behind the previous year’s levels for the
third consecutive month, falling 800 tonnes or 11.0 per cent below February 2017 production to 10,600 tonnes. Broiler feed behaved contrarily, surpassing 2017 levels by 7,400 tonnes or 4.9 per cent to reach 159,100 tonnes of production for the month. There were also significant gains in poultry breeding and rearing feed, increasing by 2,500 tonnes or 10.2 per cent to 27,000 tonnes and turkey feed, overtaking year previous levels by 1,000 tonnes or 13.0 per cent and rising to 8,700 tonnes. IPU production also grew slightly from year earlier levels, with monthly production reaching 161,600 tonnes, 900 tonnes or 0.6 per cent greater than in February 2017. 7,700 more tonnes of sheep feed was produced in February
2018 than in the same month a year earlier, a 6.6 per cent increase to 124,200 tonnes. This year’s figure is 9,300 tonnes or 8.1 per cent

greater than the 10 year average for February. Compounds for breeding sheep rose sharply from year earlier
levels by 5,100 tonnes or 7.6 per cent to 71,900 tonnes. Compounds and blends for growing and finishing sheep both also advanced beyond the totals amassed in the corresponding month of 2017, growing by 2,100 and 1,400 tonnes respectively to 42,200 and 6,400 tonnes. Blends for breeding sheep was the only sector to fall behind year previous levels, recording a 900 tonnes or 23.1 per cent drop in production to 3,000 tonnes. Horse feed production totalled 17,300 tonnes for the month in
question, 600 tonnes or 3.6 per cent more than in the same month a year previous. This was also 800 tonnes or 4.8 per cent higher than the 10 year average for the month of February. The only category to fall below year earlier levels was other feed
production. At 27,600 tonnes, 2018’s output was 3,500 tonnes or 11.3 per cent less than the corresponding month a year previous. Despite this, it was still 2,500 tonnes or 9.8 per cent above the average over 10 years for February production of other feed. February was another positive month for feed production in Great
Britain and continued the calendar year’s promising start. Other feed was the only sector to fall behind year earlier production levels and even then it, along with every other category, posted returns above the 10 year average. If the current rates of production continue, we could be looking at a fourth consecutive record year for Great British feed production.
