It estimates feed intake and optimizes feed storage. It also prepares customized tables of nutrient requirements for feed.
Euromonitor publishes the annual "Feed Monitor” that provides comprehensive and reliable information on livestock feed and feed ingredients, including trends, applications, markets, raw materials, trade and use, raw materials, and their raw material sourcing. Euromonitor also provides feed cost and usage indicators that are more than a guide to annual change and are influenced by other factors.
Feedipedia is a global knowledge network of journalists, academics and experts to create a single, free database of free-to-use feeds information. Feedipedia delivers full-text articles, reviews, food ingredient and feed list and feed compositions, as well as nutrient and feed intake and growth benchmarks. It includes a guide to the most common feed ingredients and livestock feed, which is constantly updated to include the most recent literature.
Sourcing
Meat and poultry meals are mostly produced in animal feed plants, where they are processed to produce ingredients for pet food, livestock feed, and other animal feed products.
Other raw materials used in livestock feed are sourced as follows:
Cereals (mainly corn) are produced in domestic and international farms and fed to livestock.
Oil seeds are mainly used for human food, but some are used for animal feed as well.
Soybeans are produced in large quantities and fed to livestock.
Sugar and starch are produced as raw materials for human consumption.
Wheat and barley straw are harvested and used for livestock feed.
