Global Feed Survey Makes Surprising Revelations

Jan 30, 2017

According to the 2017 Global Feed Survey released this week by Alltech, annual global feed production surpassed the 1 billion metric ton mark for the first time ever this past year.



Aidan Connolly, chief innovation officer and vice president of corporate accounts for Alltech, says this milestone comes at a time when the number of feed mills worldwide have declined, indicating consolidation within the industry.

“In particular, the Chinese story is always interesting; a lot of consolidation in that country,” Connolly explained noting that feed production has become very concentrated. “The US and China are quite comparable in size, but together they represent 1/3 of the total feed production in the world.”
