The European Feed Manufacturers' Federation (FEFAC) recently finialised, edited and released online it's 2012 edition of the FEFAC statistical yearbook - Feed & Food.
The yearbook revealed that EU-27 countries consumed 470 million tonnes of feedstuff per annum, making it one of the main inputs into livestock production.
In 2012, 153.5m tonnes of compound feed was produced by feed mill in the European Union. This number accounted for 82% of all purchased feedstuffs. Purchases of compound feed amounted, in 2011, to €51 billion.
