According to the official website of the China Feed Industry Association, the national feed production situation for June 2023 showed that in June 2023, the national industrial feed production was 26.29 million tons, a decrease of 1.3% month on month and a year-on-year increase of 9.6%. In the first half of the year, the total production of industrial feed in China was 149.3 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.0%.

The specific situation of national feed production in June is that according to sample enterprise data, the national industrial feed production was 26.29 million tons, a decrease of 1.3% month on month and a year-on-year increase of 9.6%. The factory prices of main formula feed, concentrated feed, and additive premixed feed products have mainly decreased month on month. The proportion of corn used in the formula feed produced by feed enterprises was 34.2%, a year-on-year increase of 0.4 percentage points; The proportion of soybean meal used in formula feed and concentrated feed was 14.0%, a year-on-year decrease of 1.0 percentage points.



In the first half of this year, the total production of industrial feed in China reached 149.3 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.0%. Among them, the production of formula feed, concentrated feed, and additive premixed feed were 138.66 million tons, 6.67 million tons, and 3.36 million tons, respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 7.0%, 2.2%, and 17.3%. The factory prices of main formula feed, concentrated feed, and additive premixed feed products have mainly increased year-on-year.

Feed additives include nutritional and non nutritional additives. Nutritional additives mainly include amino acids, vitamins, trace mineral elements, and essential fatty acids, while non nutritional additives include enzymes, probiotics, acidifiers, antimicrobial peptides, and other additives that regulate gastrointestinal digestion and enhance disease resistance. Additives play a crucial role in precision feeding technology, not only balancing and effectively supplying energy and protein in the diet, but also improving feed efficiency. In order to pursue economic returns, the role of feed additives in promoting animal growth has been overemphasized in the past, while ignoring the long-term harm caused by animal products such as drug residues and pathogen resistance. With regions and countries such as the European Union and the United States successively prohibiting the use of hormones and antibiotics as feed additives, especially since China's accession to the WTO, the pressure on food safety and environmental protection has increased. The development of new safe feed additives is increasingly being valued.

Safe feed additives should have no drug residues, no toxic side effects, and pose no harm to animal production during animal production. Their animal products are harmless to human health; Animal waste does not pollute the environment. The new feed additives that have been developed and are currently being developed mainly include probiotics, enzyme preparations, low molecular weight sugars, Chinese herbal medicine preparations, etc. The transformation of feed additives towards "green, efficient, and safe" has made "anti bacterial" an inevitable choice for the green development of the aquaculture industry.
