Key Takeaway
- Belgium’s commercial compound feed production declined from 6,933 KMT in 2020 to 6,369 KMT in 2025, representing a reduction of 564 KMT (8.1%). The -1.68% CAGR confirms a persistent contraction rather than a one-off decline. This trend likely reflects structural pressure on Belgium’s livestock sector, including changes in livestock numbers (decline in cattle & swine population, while growth in poultry) tighter environmental and nutrient-management regulations, elevated feed and energy costs, and increasing pressure on farm margins. The slight recovery between 2024 and 2025 suggests some stabilization in livestock demand and feed manufacturing activity; however, production remained 8.1% below the 2020 level, indicating that the recovery was not yet sufficient to reverse the longer-term contraction.
About This Dataset
This dataset tracks Austria’s total commercial compound feed production over time, measured in thousand metric tonnes (KMT). It provides an overall view of the country’s industrial feed manufacturing activity and helps assess changes in domestic feed demand, livestock-sector activity, production capacity, and the development of the animal nutrition industry, along with relevant trade trends. Definition of Industrial/Commercial Compound Feed: Compound feed manufactured by commercial feed mills on an industrial scale, using scientifically formulated combinations of feed ingredients to meet the nutritional requirements of livestock and poultry and support efficient, safe, consistent, and productive animal production. Pet food production is not part of the dataset).
