Feed market is unusually quiet

This week it's not just one lack of supply, but the question is also absent. According to the traders, it is only now becoming clear that many cows (and especially young cattle) are hungry the slaughter went; this in the context of the phosphate reduction plan. Livestock farmers have to fill fewer mouths and therefore need less feed.

The straw market is continuing well
The straw trade continues well, but it cannot cause a change in the price. This remains stable at €135 per tonne free at farm (both for barley and wheat straw). It is reported that the top of the price range is slightly higher here and there (€140).

The price of spent grain has managed to increase minimally during this quiet period. This brings the quotation to €2,65 per percent of dry matter. 

Stable odds
The price for meadow hay remains stable at €210 per tonne free of charge and the price of perennial ryegrass also remains at the same level. This price amounts to €160 per tonne, free of charge. The quiet market also has an effect on the market for silage, because here too nothing happens. This means that the price remains at €50 per tonne, free of charge.

Sold out products
By the way, there is virtually no trade in silage maize anymore, with the last recorded price being €65 per tonne, free of charge. The market for tall fescue, red fescue and meadow meadow has also ended, leaving prices at €150, €150 and €155 per tonne free of charge respectively.

In addition, several forage traders indicate that there are almost no potatoes available for the animal feed industry. This is mainly due to the fact that the potato market is doing well. The price for the feed potatoes therefore remains at €40 per ton, free of charge.
