> World feed output fell 1.1% in 2019 to an estimated 1.1265 billion tonnes, the first drop in decades, according to Alltech's Global Feed Survey. African swine fever cut Asian hog feed output by about 35%, offsetting growth in Africa, Mexico and export-driven US and South American feed production.
