Introduction: the American Feed Industry Association recently said that the world population will reach 8 billion by 2015, so the global food production must increase from the current nearly 1.4 billion tons to 2 billion tons in the next 15 years With the increasing demand for cattle disease, chicken, milk and eggs, the world's commercial feed production must keep up with it According to the German international trade organization, the global production of mixed fodder reached 700 million tons by 2005, compared with only 605 million tons in 1999 In 1999, 648 million tons of food were used for feed production globally, accounting for 35% of total food consumption Food prices have continued to fall, leading to relatively low feed prices If this trend continues, it must lead to an increase in meat production Global meat production is expected to increase to 268 million tons in 2005 Brazil is likely to become the largest supplier of meat products in the next 10 years The world meat demand is estimated to increase with the growth of the world population, the economic growth and the growth of 2.7% per capita annual income MCT although the emergence of BSE and FMD in Europe will affect meat demand, the production and consumption of beef is estimated to increase at an average annual rate of 2% in the next 10 years As far as countries are concerned, the United States is currently the world's leading poultry producer and exporter As far as the region is concerned, Asia is rapidly developing into the most important poultry producing region Asia is already the most important egg producing region, and the number of eggs produced in China alone is nearly four times that of the United States, the second largest egg producing country Between 1991 and 1996, China's egg production increased by 93% Global milk production is estimated to grow to 615 million tons by 2005, compared with 535 million tons in 1998 India has the largest milk production in the world MCT (author:) to feed Weibo to:
