About preparations of a kind used in animal feeding

HS code 2309 covers a wide range of preparations used in animal feeding, an essential industry that supports the global livestock and poultry sectors. These products play a crucial role in ensuring the proper nutrition and health of animals, contributing to the overall productivity and sustainability of the agricultural industry. As a key component of the animal feed supply chain, the 2309 industry is closely intertwined with the broader agricultural economy.

Production process

The production of preparations under HS code 2309 typically involves a combination of blending, mixing, and processing various raw materials, such as grains, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Manufacturers may use specialized equipment like mixers, extruders, and pelleting machines to create a homogeneous and nutritionally balanced feed product. Quality control and safety measures are paramount throughout the production process to ensure the final preparations meet regulatory standards and provide optimal nutritional value for the intended animal species.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 2309 industry include 1001 Wheat, 2304 Oilcake and other solid residues, 2308 Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, as well as various vitamins, minerals, and additives. Manufacturers may also utilize specialized machinery and equipment, such as feed mills, to facilitate the blending and processing of these raw materials into the final animal feed preparations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 2309 industry are a diverse range of animal feed preparations, including complete feeds, supplements, and specialty products tailored to the specific nutritional needs of different livestock and poultry species. These preparations are then consumed by 0101 Live horses, asses, mules and hinnies, 0102 Live bovine animals, 0103 Live swine, 0104 Live sheep and goats, 0105 Live poultry, and other animal sectors, contributing to the overall productivity and well-being of the global agricultural system.
