Pigmeat Committee Chairman Pat O’ Flaherty has insisted pig compound feed millers must reduce feed prices immediately.He said: “Teagasc compiles monthly compound and home milled feed prices and, in light of the most recent figures released, it is clear that feed prices must immediately drop to address the price differential between the two figures”.“As feed makes up over 70 per cent of the cost of producing a pig, farmers are very sensitive to movements in feed prices. According to the Teagasc figures, a tonne of compound feed could be milled (ex-port) for 222/tonne in September, while farmers are being forced to pay up to 270/tonne for an equivalent compound ration. Even when transport costs are factored in, the gap is enormous and completely unjustified.
愛爾蘭農場主協會國家養豬與豬肉委員會主席Pat O’ Flaherty堅稱，養豬混合飼料磨坊主應立即降低飼料價格 。他說：“愛爾蘭農業與食品發展部(Teagasc)收錄了混合飼料價格與家磨飼料價格數據，根據最近公開的數字顯示，為了使兩者的價格差距縮?。?混合飼料價格應立即降低 。由于飼料在養豬成本中所占比例超過70%，農場主們對飼料價格的變幻十分敏感 。根據愛爾蘭農業與食品發展部數據，9月研磨一公噸用于出口的混合飼料需要222歐元 ， 而農場主為了滿意一定的混合比例 ， 被迫最高支付270歐元/公噸 。盡管里面還蘊藏了運輸成本 ， 但是生產飼料成本與飼料價格的差距太大，一點也不平等 ?！?br />
