Europe’s compound feed sector is closing 2025 in a holding pattern rather than a growth phase. Gains in poultry feed are broadly neutralised by continued weakness in pig feed and regulatory pressure in several key markets.
The global animal protein industry is set to experience a slowdown in production growth in 2026, driven by both cyclical and structural factors. Seafood and poultry will lead growth, while pork and beef production will contract.
Turkey’s cattle numbers are set to contract further in 2026 as persistent slaughter pressure, soaring feed costs, and low profitability continue to erode herd size.
EU lawmakers have reached a provisional deal to streamline the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and push its start date back by one year.
The 4th European Sorghum Congress, held in Budapest, brought together a wide audience—from researchers and producers to industry leaders and policy-makers—to examine sorghum’s rising profile across feed, food and energy value chains.
Mycotoxins remain a serious and persistent challenge in animal farming. These toxic fungal metabolites contaminate feed and raw materials, posing a substantial risk to animal health, productivity and food safety.
The 5th edition of the feed-to-food trade show for the Middle East and Africa wraps up with strong participation and impactful outcomes.
Are soybean prices in the 2025/26 season still driven only by weather or yield? Not anymore. Soy has evolved into a strategic system shaped by policies, sustainability regulations, and geopolitical balances.
France’s largest cereal producer, Intercéréales brings together farmers, storage operators, and processors to safeguard quality, drive innovation, and promote sustainable practices across the sector. Its collaborative approach ensures French cereals remain competitive at home and in international feed markets.
USSEC CEO Jim Sutter shares his perspective on the evolving U.S.–China soybean trade, global market opportunities, and the growing role of sustainability in feed supply chains. His insights highlight both the optimism surrounding renewed Chinese purchases and the strategic advantages of U.S. Soy for importers worldwide.
KSE Process Technology has introduced a breakthrough in micro-component dosing with its KCD wiw micro system. By combining single-gram accuracy with energy efficiency, the innovation addresses both cost and safety challenges in feed production.
At a leading event for the livestock industry in Rennes, Christophe Cellier of Andritz discussed a solution designed to change how companies approach maintenance.
Transboundary animal diseases (TADs) are emerging as a defining risk for the global livestock and aquaculture economy, threatening a sector worth up to USD 3.3 trillion. With annual losses already reaching hundreds of billions of dollars, countries are under growing pressure to reinforce cooperation, sustain prevention efforts and protect food security from escalating animal health threats.
As transboundary diseases spread faster and funding walls close in, the livestock sector is edging toward a dangerous tipping point. The world’s feed and protein supply chains are now exposed to system-wide shocks that no single country or institution can contain alone.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is advancing new guidance for feed additive safety, building on a decade of evolving scientific and regulatory standards.
Driven by precision, energy-efficient systems and smart automation, feed machinery is evolving from its mechanical roots into intelligent, resilient production ecosystems that will shape feed production for decades to come.
