The Federal Information Center for Agriculture (BZL) has reported a slight decrease in the production of notifiable compound feed in the 2021/22 marketing year, with a total of 22.9 million tonnes produced by 281 companies. The production of pig and cattle feed saw a decrease of 7.6% and 4.3% respectively, due to adequate forage harvest in 2021 and lower rapeseed harvest in Germany in 2021 coupled with Russia's war in Ukraine.
