# POV: Liquid Feed Symposium from a First-timer - AFIA

> A Liquid Feed Symposium attendee described industry challenges, including growing competition for liquid feed ingredients such as molasses, whey, and glycerin from ethanol, biodiesel, and lactose uses. Analysts said supply for these ingredients is inelastic, so energy-sector demand pushes prices up. Geopolitical events were also cited as driving inflation.

## Why it matters

Rising demand from biofuel and energy users tightens supplies of liquid feed co-products, which can push up feed costs for ruminant producers. The effect is structural rather than a single price move.
