REPORT SCOPE:
This Animal Feed report is part of OCO Consulting's Industrial Series.
The report aims to provide an accurate and concise overview of the key trends in the animal feed market during the last five-six years and to highlight the major factors that are impacting its performance.
The key drivers of the industry include the number of farm animals in Ireland, which in turn is affected by the demand for agricultural produce. Several factors have affected this demand, including the recent health scares of BSE and Foot and Mouth. As a result of these scares as well as changing lifestyles, consumers tend to be moving away from the consumption of red meat to vegetarian style options and chicken. The rise of GM crops has also had an affect on the demand for animal feeds as Ireland is opting to be a GM-Free country.
Market size and segmentation data for the key animal feed segments is shown for the period 1999 to 2004, as this is the most recent available data.
Trade data and short company profiles for the key Irish players on the supply channels are provided.
The trends and opportunities in each of the key segments of the animal feed industry are assessed in detail.
Finally, a value forecast for the performance of the animal feed market to 2010 is presented.
