Russia saw the largest regional growth in animal feed production in 2017, according to Alltech’s 2018 Global Feed Survey. Africa also has seen rapid growth in recent years, the survey found.

With 19 percent growth in the past year, Russia jumped from the seventh largest feed-producing region a year ago to the fourth this year.

“Russia has been the story for us this year. … There is a desire, clearly, from President Putin to focus increasingly on self-sufficiency and he wants to see that in broilers, eggs, milk and pork, and to replace imports with more and more local production,” said Aidan Connolly, Alltech’s chief innovation officer and vice president, corporate accounts, who presented the survey findings.
