Feeding management: Key to more sustainable agricultural solutions
alerted by the current situation in the feed economy, the DVT President Cord Schiplage was on the pulse of the time! at the magnificent 24th annual conference of the German Association of Tierefärzen (DVT) in Berlin, in front of around 300 attentive listeners, occasionally appeared and made it clear: The feed industry plays a key role in climate policy! with circulars that use CO products, the industry shows how the transformation of the agricultural and nutritional economy can succeed- but the path is stony!
The message was unmistakable: Without clear political decisions, agriculture threatens the great chaos! The big question is, where are the necessary financial resources? "The will for transformation is there, but the bureaucracy and the lack of funds brake the will to change in the entire industry! We have to wake up!" Skin Schiplage in his gripping speech.
one -sided demands endanger the future!
With VERVE and expertise, Schiplage pointed out that the demands for a drastic reduction in meat consumption and an increased plant -based diet do not reflect the whole truth. "Two thirds of the global usable areas are grass surfaces and steppe. These areas can only be used sensibly through animal husbandry!", The DVT President emphasized and referred to frightening statistics of the FAO: 86 percent of the feed dry mass cannot be used for humans!
But that's not all! Schiplage made it clear that the idea of a completely climate -neutral agriculture is utopian. The solutions are in the animal husbandry! Modern approaches in animal nutrition, from the use of CO products to efficient feed rationing, are ready to set the course for a sustainable future. Cam feed for critics who dismiss less than 10 million tons of CO products as indispensable for feed production!
The EU renovation regulations: a bureaucratic monster!
not only praises the progress in the feed industry, but heats up the debate about the EU decommissioning regulations (Eudr)! This threatens to put the farmers from insurmountable hurdles if they come into force on December 30, 2024. "Anyone who works in practice knows the enormous challenges! The traceability and technical requirements have not yet been met! We are faced with the collapse!" Warn Schiplage.
The dark side: market repurchase and skyrocking prices! According to the European mixed feed association FEFAC, additional costs of over 2 billion euros for protein products could occur by 2025! A shock for the entire industry!
A look at the figures of the Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food (BLE) shows: Mix feed production remains almost stable, but the developments are alarming! In the 2023/24 financial year, production decreased by a more meager to 21.7 million tons! Declines associated with falling animal stands throw question marks on the future of the industry.
Finally,Schiplage referred to the DVT, which, as an independent business association, represents the interests of companies that are indispensable for the feed economy. a strong sign for the industry that does not want to be kept down!
