Diverse results in livestock farming

23/02/2018

Margins in dairy farming in January 2018 were lower than in the third and fourth quarter of 2017, but at 18,700 euros still remained almost 2,000 euros above the long-term average for the month. Poultry farming saw a positive start to the new year. The margins in broiler farming have been above the long-term average since November 2017 and were 8,000 euros higher in January than in the same month last year. For layer hen farms with continuous production, the margins have been above the long-term average since April 2017. For January, margins were even 64,000 euros higher than last year, partly due to a shortage and higher egg prices as a result of the Fipronil crisis. The pig market is still depressed after the price drops caused by an increase in supply. Since August 2017, margins for fattening pigs have been under the long-term average and saw a decrease of 50% compared to January last year. Margins for a standard sow farm in January were also barely half of the level in January 2017, but at 29,000 euros still remained above the long-term average.
