Low Protein Limits Hit Iowa Feed Economics
Ames extension animal husbandman Rex Beresford warns that a voluntary U.S. Department of Agriculture limit of 35 percent crude protein in mixed feeds will raise costs and require larger feed volumes. He notes a 16 percent increase in available protein feed this year, mainly from soybean meal, with lesser supplies of tankage and meat scraps. Hog diets may benefit from combos of animal and vegetable proteins. The March 13 USDA policy aims to keep straight protein feeds available to small dealers and farmers.
