Feed Production Update


By Ryan Mounsey


GREAT BRITAIN Second Quarter and Half Year Production Overview Total production of compounds, blends and concentrates, including integrated poultry units, during the second quarter 2021 was at its highest ever level for the period of 3,407,100 tonnes. The output amassed surpassed the total for the corresponding timeframe of a year earlier by a considerable 208,400 tonnes or 6.5 per cent. The total under review was a less marked 156,700 tonnes or 4.7 per cent greater than the decade long average for Q2. The culmination of the second quarter brought the total production


figure of compounds, blends and concentrates, including integrated poultry units to 7,066,900 tonnes during the first six months of the year, an increase of 57,700 tonnes or 0.8 per cent from the first half of 2020. This total was the second highest for the period on record and 258,700 tonnes or 3.7 per cent above the 10 year average for the first half of a calendar year. Total feed production during the second quarter of 2021 was made


up of: 47.8 per cent poultry feed, 28.2 per cent cattle and calf feed, 14.5 per cent pig feed, 5.8 per cent sheep feed, 1.1 per cent horse feed and 2.6 per cent other feed. Total feed production during the first half of 2021 was made up of:


44.7 per cent poultry feed, 29.6 per cent cattle and calf feed, 14.2 per cent pig feed, 8.0 per cent sheep feed, 1.0 per cent horse feed and 2.4 per cent other feed. A significant rise of 62,200 tonnes or 6.9 per cent brought total Q2


cattle and calf feed production up to its third highest level for the period of 959,000 tonnes. The decade long average for the period was also bettered, albeit by a significantly lower 22,400 tonnes or 2.4 per cent, an indication of how low production in the second quarter of 2020 was. At 2,092,400 tonnes, total first half cattle and calf feed had increased


by 74,700 tonnes or 3.7 per cent from 2020. As with its second quarter total, the current H1 total was a less substantial 36,600 tonnes or 1.7 per


cent greater than the 10 year average for the first half of a year. All elements of cattle and calf feed production exceeded their year


earlier counterparts for the quarter and did so considerably, although, none of them rose to record levels. The sector’s largest component, compounds for dairy feed, increased by a notable 32,900 tonnes or 6.9 per cent to 512,000 tonnes of output, whilst the smallest, protein concentrates for cattle and calves, grew by a less considerable 400 tonnes or 1.9 per cent to 1,300 tonnes. Proportionally, both all calf feed and all other cattle blends rose by similar levels: the former, at 46,900 tonnes did so by 8.8 per cent or 3,800 tonnes and the latter, at 81,100 tonnes, did so by 8.1 per cent or 6,100 tonnes. Despite surpassing its year previous return for the quarter by a sizeable 10,400 tonnes or 9.2 per cent, the 123,200 tonnes of all other cattle feed production was nevertheless at historically low levels for the timeframe, as was blends for dairy cows at 174,700 tonnes, which had bettered year previous returns by 8,800 tonnes or 5.3 per cent. In repetition of the trend witnessed in 2020, current second quarter


total pig feed production rose to its highest level this millennium. The 495,400 tonnes of output was 17,000 tonnes or 3.6 per cent greater than that of a year previous. Additionally, the decade long average for the quarter was outpaced by an even more considerable 47,000 tonnes or 10.0 per cent. Total pig feed for the first half of the year breached the one million


tonnes mark for the first time since 1999. The 1,005,300 tonnes of production outstripped its year earlier counterpart by 24,100 tonnes or 2.5 per cent. The total under review was also a significant 100,500 tonnes or 10.5 per cent in excess of the decade long H1 average. In contrast with the sizable increase present across the sector as a


whole, pig protein concentrates fell below their respective second quarter total from a year previous by a substantial 900 tonnes or 39.1 per cent to 1,400 tonnes, the lowest ever total recorded in the timeframe. Q2 pig starters and creep feed production also fell below that of a year earlier, doing so by 1,800 tonnes or 11.6 per cent down to 13,500 tonnes, the second lowest total for the period on record, as did pig growing feed, which fell 3,200 tonnes or 3.5 per cent below its year earlier counterpart to 88,800 tonnes. On the other hand, both pig finishing feed and pig link and early grower feed amassed record production tonnages for the quarter. The former at 252,300 tonnes outstripped its year earlier counterpart by 17,600 tonnes or 7.5 per cent and the latter did so by 800 tonnes or 3.1 per cent, up to 26,800 tonnes. Finally pig breeding feed rose by 4,600 tonnes or 4.3 per cent to its highest level since 2002 of 112,600 tonnes. At 1,633,400 tonnes, total Q2 poultry feed was at its highest level for


the period on record, the current total was 85,700 tonnes or 5.5 per cent greater than that of the respective output a year previously. Furthermore, 2021’s second quarter total was a significant 87,500 tonnes or 5.5 per cent greater than the decade long average for the timeframe. Despite the record high tonnage posted in the second quarter of


2021, total H1 poultry feed production fell below the levels achieved a year previously. Production was 58,500 tonnes or 1.8 per cent lower than the record output for the year amassed in 2020, at 3,160,900 tonnes.
