UK - GB pig compound feed production for the first quarter of 2017, was 4 per cent lower than the same period in 2016 at 442,000 tonnes, according to latest data published by Defra, writes Millie Askew, AHDB analyst.The majority of the decline was driven by a 5 per cent (12,000 tonnes) fall in finisher feed output, while starter/grower feed production fell by 1 per cent (1,300 tonnes) on the year. The reduction in finisher feed and starter/grower feed production during quarter one, backs up the sentiment that domestic pig meat supplies have been tight so far this year.
英国农业及园艺局发展委员会(AHDB)分析师Millie Askew写道,根据英国环境、食品和农村事务部发布的最新数据,与2016年同期比较,英国生猪复合饲料产量在2017年第一季度减少4%,达到44.2万公吨。下降的主要原因是由于肥育饲料产量同比减少5%(1.2万公吨),而开口饲料、肥育中期饲料产量同比只减少1%(1300公吨)。第一季度的肥育饲料与开口饲料、肥育中期饲料产量下降也印证了目前英国国内猪肉供应紧缺的观点。
