Feed Production Update
By Ryan Mounsey
GREAT BRITAIN June Production Overview Total production of compounds, blends and concentrates, including integrated poultry units, during the month of June 2018 amounted to 1,174,800 tonnes, 5,400 tonnes or 0.5 per cent greater than production in the same month a year earlier and a record for the period, having surpassed the previous record set in 2010 by just 3,400 tonnes. Additionally, June’s total stood at 107.0 per cent of the 10 year average for the month, 76,900 tonnes more than the mean. Total feed production during the month of June 2018 was made
up of: 51.7 per cent poultry feed, 26.7 per cent cattle and calf feed, 13.3 per cent pig feed, 3.8 per cent sheep feed, 3.4 per cent other feed and 1.1 per cent horse feed. Total cattle and calf feed for the month fell very slightly below
the record for the period (which was set a year previously) by 100 tonnes, dropping to 314,000 tonnes, a decrease of 0.03 per cent. Despite this miniscule downturn from 2017 figure, June’s 2018 production was 16,600 tonnes or 5.6 per cent greater than the 10 year average for the month. Whilst cattle protein concentrates remained the same as year
earlier levels at 4,800 tonnes of production, there were drops in production for compounds for dairy cows and blends for dairy cows. The former fell by 1,500 tonnes or 0.9 per cent to 171,900 tonnes whereas the latter’s production decreased by 3,100 tonnes or 5.3 per cent to 56,000 tonnes. In contrast to the trend seen in dairy feed production, there was an 11.9 per cent rise in total calf feed to 16,000 tonnes, a 7.8 per cent increase in all other cattle blends to 21,300 tonnes and a 3.3 per cent growth in all other cattle compounds to 44,000 tonnes. For the third consecutive June, total pig feed production
decreased from year earlier levels. 2018’s output, at 156,100 tonnes, was 1,000 tonnes or 0.6 per cent lower than in the same month of 2017. Despite this drop in production, June 2018’s total was 9,900 tonnes or 6.8 per cent higher than the 10 year average. The only shifts of any real note from year earlier levels came in
the form of a 1,400 tonnes or 4.8 per cent drop in pig growing feed, bringing production for the month of June down to 27,900 tonnes, and a 300 tonnes or 6.4 per cent rise in pig starters and creep feed to 5,000 tonnes. Link and early grower feed fell 100 tonnes to 8,600 tonnes of production, while pig finishing feed dropped 300 tonnes to 78,900 tonnes for June and pig breeding feed output was up 400 tonnes from year earlier levels to 34,600 tonnes. Total poultry feed including IPUs also fell below year earlier
output. Once again this was by a small margin of 300 tonnes or 0.05 per cent, falling to 607,300 tonne. Regardless of the decrease from 2017, poultry feed production for the month stood at 106.6 per cent of the 10 year average, an increase of 37,400 tonnes. There were significant drops from 2017 production levels in
both all other poultry feed and chick rearing feed, with the former falling 5,100 tonnes or 9.9 per cent to 46,500 tonnes and the latter by 1,800 tonnes or 13.2 per cent to 11,800 tonnes. In contrast, layer feed production in June reached 99,000 tonnes, growing 2,400 tonnes or 2.5 per cent from the 96,600 tonnes amassed in the same month a year previous. Feed production for integrated poultry units also surpassed its June 2017 total by 2,800 tonnes or 1.4 per cent, growing to 204,200 tonnes, while broiler feed passed the 200,000 tonne mark in the month of June for the first time on record, reaching 201,400 tonnes. In contrast with the above, sheep feed production rose
considerably from year earlier levels. Reaching 44,300 tonnes, this was an increase of 6,700 tonnes or 17.8 per cent. Furthermore, June 2018 production of sheep feed was 9,300 tonnes or 26.6 per cent greater than the 10 year average for the month. Blends for breeding sheep was the only subsector of sheep feed
to fall below year earlier levels, a 10 per cent or 100 tonnes drop to 900 tonnes. The inverse trend was seen in compounds for growing and finishing sheep which grew 4,900 tonnes or 17.1 per cent from June 2017 output to 33,500 tonnes. This was along with an 800 tonnes or 28.6 per cent growth in compounds for breeding sheep and 1,100 tonnes or 22.5 per cent rise in blends for growing and finishing sheep, to 3,600 tonnes and 6,000 tonnes respectively. Horse feed production fell by 400 tonnes or 3.0 per cent from
2017 output to 13,000 tonnes. Yet again, despite the drop seen from a year previous, horse feed production surpassed the 10 year average by 700 tonnes or 5.7 per cent. Other feed production in June arrested a 12 month trend of
falling below year earlier levels in exceeding 2017’s monthly output by 500 tonnes or 1.3 per cent, rising to 40,200 tonnes. A more significant increase was seen when viewed in comparison to the 10 year average, with June 2018 surpassing the monthly mean by 3,100 tonnes or 8.4 per cent. Even with the majority of feed production sectors falling below
their year earlier levels, the rise in sheep feed production exceeded the deficit and ensured that production for the month reached record levels.
With the release of the June figures we can now analyse second quarter and year to date production for Great Britain.
Quarter Two and Year to Date Figures Total production of compounds, blends and concentrates, including integrated poultry units, during the second quarter of 2018 amounted to 3,370,100 tonnes, bringing the year to date total to 7,052,700 tonnes; this is a record high for the first six months of the calendar year. The Q2 production total had risen from 3,252,700 tonnes during the same period of 2017, a difference of 117,400 tonnes
