Question

How much animal feed is manufactured in the united states?

Answer 1

I would like to know what type of animal feed you are talking about. I am assuming you mean grain feed.

The USDA could not tell you, since farmers will make there own grain feed too. The best answer I could give you is the USDA/FDA inspects over 100 million tons per year.

Answer 2

When I think of animal feed I think of feed for livestock.  I would like to think that all of the feed we use is manufactured here.  After seeing that all of this pet food is coming in from China I just don't know any more.  Maybe when they get all of this mess straightened out we will find out the truth about where our feed is coming from.  You asked a good question, I hope someone can give you a knowledgeable answer for all of us.

Answer 3

alot DUH

Answer 4

I think that figure is changing so any statistical data from former years would now be inaccurate.  There is less corn manufactured now for animals and people because of the use of corn for ethynol for cars/transportation.

Answer 5

Millions of tons.

That's hard to answer.
