Based on an analysis of animal inventories across the U.S., feed manufacturers produced slightly more primary feed in 2007 than in 2006.

The total in 2007 was estimated to be 124.494 million tons, a 1.1% increase from the 2006 estimate of 123.178 million tons (Table 1). Over the last 10-year period, the U.S. feed production estimate has ranged from 118.3 million to 124.5 million tons.

For statistical purposes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service divides the country into 10 reporting regions. Based on this break down, the Corn Belt had the largest share of estimated primary feed production in 2007 at 24.1 million tons, followed by the Southeast region at 17.9 million tons.

By species, demand for primary feed in 2007 was greatest for broilers at 42.2 million tons, followed by beef/sheep at 17.5 million tons.

The American Feed Industry Assn., a trade association representing the U.S. feed industry, estimates some 3,000 primary feed manufacturing plants exist in the U.S. as well as some 5,500 secondary or custom mix plants. These operations are thought to be complemented by a network of 17,500 feed dealers and several thousand suppliers of feed ingredients.

Animal feed products, in general, consist of one of the following categories:

• Ingredients, derived from the processing of grains, oilseeds, meat, vegetable and fi sh products;

• Roughages, such as hay and grasses;• Compound feeds, which combine ingredient feeds, and• Pet foods.

Explanation and analysisFeedstuffs’ estimates of feed production are derived from U.S. Department of Agriculture fi gures on animal production and estimated rates of consumption by animal type for each of 10 U.S. geographic regions.

Primary feed is defi ned as feed mixed from individual ingredients, sometimes with the addition of a premix at a rate of less than 100 lb. per ton of fi nished feed. Primary feed may be a complete feed, a supplement, a concentrate or other feed product for mixing with more ingredients. For the most part, primary feed does not include feed grains, wheat, rye or byproduct feeds that may have been purchased or ground and added as a feed supplement or feed concentrate.

The Association of American Feed Control Offi cials offers the following feed-related defi nitions:

Complete (or compound) feed. A nutritionally adequate feed for animals other than humans by specifi c formula compounded to be fed as the sole ration and capable to maintaining life and/or promoting production without any additional substance, except water, being consumed.

Concentrate. A feed used with another to improve the nutritive balance of the total and intended to be further-diluted and mixed to produce a supplement or a complete feed.

Supplement. A feed used with another to improve the nutritive balance of performance of the total and that is intended to be (1) fed undiluted as a supplement to other feeds, (2) offered free choice with other parts of the ration separately available or (3) further diluted and mixed to produce a complete feed.

Premix. A uniform mixture of one or more microingredients with diluent and/or carrier. Premixers are used to facilitate uniform dispersion of the micro-ingredients in a large mix.

In addition to primary feed tonnage, many feed mills manufacture secondary feed. Secondary feed is mixed with one or more ingredients and a formula feed — a

primary feed. These supplements are generally used at a rate of 300 lb. or more per ton of fi nished feed, depending on the protein content of the supplement and the percentage of the protein content desired in the fi nished feed.

Animal-to-feed ratios are presented in Table 13. These ratios are indicators of the profi tability of animal production. They compare the market price of a unit of animal to the price of feed. For example, the hog:corn price ratio is the price of 100 lb. of live hog divided by the price of a bushel of corn. The larger the ratio, the more money a producer receives for the animal or animal product relative to what the producer paid for feed.
