Rise in Livestock Feed Production by 7.7% in Mexico

The Comisión Nacional de Fabricantes de Alimentos Balanceados (Conafab) reported a 7.7% increase in the national production of balanced feed for animals over the last five years. This growth signifies a strong and stable supply crucial for the entire supply chain, from milk producers to end consumers. The increased production also helps dairy farmers manage feeding costs, allowing for better planning and optimization of herd nutrition, which can lead to greater milk production and farm profitability. Notably, the surge in balanced feed production enhances milk quality. A balanced diet improves the composition of raw milk, benefiting the entire dairy supply chain with better quality products. Conafab's report emphasizes the industry's commitment to innovation and efficiency, investing in technology and research to develop more efficient and sustainable formulas. Overall, this growth is a significant milestone for Mexico's agricultural sector, boosting farm profitability, improving milk quality, and contributing to the country's food security.
