Sunday, August 24,2025
AsemconnectVietnam - In the first six months of 2025, livestock feed (LF) prices continued the downward trend from last year, despite global economic uncertainties. Lower input material costs helped reduce the prices of finished LF products.
Specifically, market prices were as follows:
· Pig feed: piglet feed (21% protein) at 380,000 – 450,000 VND/25kg bag; fattening pig feed (18% protein) at 330,000 – 400,000 VND/25kg bag; sow feed at 360,000 – 420,000 VND/25kg bag.
· Chicken feed: chick feed at 350,000 – 430,000 VND/bag; broiler feed at 310,000 – 380,000 VND/bag; layer feed at 340,000 – 410,000 VND/bag.
· Duck feed: for ducklings, layers, and meat ducks, prices ranged from 320,000 – 420,000 VND/bag, depending on nutritional formula and brand.
· Aquaculture feed (pangasius, tilapia, snakehead fish): 320,000 – 450,000 VND/25kg bag.
For raw materials, rice bran and cornmeal showed fluctuating increases and decreases depending on the type.
