ABN said the decision to leave the market followed a review of the challenges and changing conditions facing the UK feed industry. A company statement said: “We have taken an incredibly difficult decision about the future of our UK monogastric compound feed business, ABN. This means exploring options, including divestment, for our remaining ABN mills.” The announcement has raised concerns about the possible impact on competition and feed availability across the pig and poultry sectors. Although ABN has not yet outlined any specific consequences for Scottish producers, the development will be watched closely by farmers who depend on reliable access to compound feed supplies.
