The feed market this week is mainly dominated by brewer's grains. This is because there is an imbalance between supply and demand, causing the price to rise. The price of silage maize is also rising again.
As a number of breweries have stopped production, a shortage of spent grain has arisen. This leads to the price this week increases by €0,10 to €2,60 per percent dry matter. The waiting time is currently estimated at a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks. This trend is not entirely strange, because every year it is a little more difficult to purchase spent grain at this time of year.
Cutting maize further up
In addition, the price also matters silage corn another small step up this week. The price increases by €0,50 to €58 per tonne, free of charge. This is mainly because it is expected that trading will be over at the end of next week and some additional product will still have to be purchased here and there. In short: demand currently exceeds the shrinking supply.
The price of meadow hay will remain unchanged this week at €160 per tonne, free of charge. The straw trade is also going smoothly. This means that the price this week is once again €105 per tonne, free of charge. According to the traders, this is not expected to change in the short term.
little trade
There is currently little trade in either perennial ryegrass or silage. This means that the price for perennial ryegrass remains at €110 per tonne free of charge and that of silage at €50 per tonne free of charge. Field meadow, red fescue and tall fescue are almost sold out, meaning prices remain stable compared to last week.
