Feed accounts for more than 60 to 70% of the total cost of cattle production. This makes ingredient selection to be one of the most important decisions for dairy and livestock farmers. Among most of the widely used protein-rich cattle feed ingredients, two of them compete very often. DDGS (Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles) and […]

The importance of protein in poultry feed cannot be understated; it has an immediate effect on growth, feed conversion ratio, egg production, immune response and general wellbeing. Since feed is the major cost, about 65 to 70% of the poultry production cost, choosing the right protein ingredient is essential to maximise profitability.

Something shifted in the feed industry of India in early 2026 and farmers were the first ones across the country to feel it almost immediately. Rising soybean prices are pushing farmers toward alternative protein sources way faster than anyone has anticipated. And this transition that many nutritionists had been recommending for years is now happening […]

Switching to a new feed ingredient is one of those decisions that looks simple on paper. You find a better price, a higher protein value or a more consistent supply and then you make the change. But what actually happens on the ground is very often different from what was in fact planned. This is […]

Most feed buyers focus on price per tonne and protein percentage. This is understandable as these numbers are what show up on every invoice and comparison sheet. But here’s what those numbers don’t tell you: whether that protein was actually tested, whether that batch was traced back to its grain source and whether the facility […]

If you’re a dairy and livestock farmer across India, then for you, the gap between a profitable year and a difficult one often comes down to one thing. Is your seasonal feed planning for cattle keeping pace with what […]

Choosing the right supplier can make all the difference when it comes to the profit margins and productivity of any livestock business. However, most farmers and dairy farmers in India pay close attention to the price of feed per bag without taking into account the indirect costs associated with poor quality, unreliable and nutritionally deficient […]

The poultry and livestock industry in India frequently finds itself in the dilemma of falling raw material rates of corn or soya meal but higher feed prices. The Indian farmers always pose themselves the same question: Why feed costs increase even when raw material prices drop?

Feed quality has an important influence on the efficiency of livestock production, poultry performance, and overall animal health. In the case of India, where there has been rapid development in the feed manufacturing industry, the issue of fungi and mycotoxins present in feed material is one of the major worries. This is due to the […]

Farmers of livestock in India tend to buy high-quality feeds for cattle and poultry because of their expectations of increased milk yield and growth rate and better animal health. However, despite the quality of the feed, it will soon become useless due to poor storing conditions that destroy nutrients. In India, variations in the climate […]
