About preparations of a kind used in animal feeding

HS code 2309, 'Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding', encompasses a diverse range of products that play a crucial role in the global animal husbandry industry. These preparations are designed to supplement the nutritional needs of livestock, poultry, and other domesticated animals, contributing to their overall health, growth, and productivity. As a vital component of the agricultural supply chain, this industry supports the production of meat, dairy, and other animal-derived products that are essential to the global food system.

Production process

The production of preparations under HS code 2309 typically involves a combination of blending, mixing, and processing various raw materials. This may include the incorporation of vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and other nutrients to create a balanced and nutritious feed supplement. Manufacturers may also employ techniques such as pelleting, extrusion, or granulation to ensure the proper consistency and ease of handling for the end-user.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 2309 preparations include a variety of agricultural commodities, such as 1001 Wheat, 1005 Maize, 2304 Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soybean oil, and 2308 Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and by-products, whether or not in the form of pellets, of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included. Additionally, manufacturers may utilize specialized feed additives, processing equipment, and packaging materials to ensure the quality and safety of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 2309 industry are animal feed supplements, which are consumed by a wide range of livestock, poultry, and other domesticated animals. These preparations may be used as complete feed, complementary feed, or as specific nutritional supplements to enhance the overall diet of the animals. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by industries producing 0101 Live horses, asses, mules and hinnies, 0102 Live bovine animals, 0103 Live swine, 0104 Live sheep and goats, 0105 Live poultry, that is to say, fowls of the species Gallus domesticus, ducks, geese, turkeys and guinea fowls, and other livestock.
