Abstract

The shortage of animal and poultry feed resources is one of the main obstacles in the development of livestock and poultry wealth. This shortage will lead to an increase in the prices of animal feed and hence the cost of animal production and consequently increase the prices of animal, poultry and food products necessary to feed members of the society.  The main objective of the study is to study the animals need of the feed, the economies of their production and consumption in Egypt by studying the economic importance of animal, poultry production in Egypt. Indenting the animal needs of feed furthermore proposing ways to solve them. The area of ​​green fodder decreased by about 1.4% per year. This requires increasing the area of ​​these feeds as well as horizontal agricultural expansion. The total quantity produced of green, dry and concentrated feeds decreased by 1.7% annually, therefore, the quantity currently produced should be increased otherwise  the imported quantities of concentrated fodder will increase and the deficit in the agricultural trade balance will increase as well. The value of animal and poultry production requirements in Egypt increased at a rate of about 10.8% per year, while livestock increased at a rate of about 0.5% annually, indicating the continuous increase in feed The available quantity of feed decreased by about 2.6% annually, while at the same time there was an increase in the quantity of surplus at an annual rate of 8.2%. This indicates that the issue of the green fodder crisis is not an issue.  The explanation is that the problem lies in the way the animal takes these feeds in its diet. It is expected to increase the importation of concentrated feeds at a rate of about 4.5% per year at least, to cover the deficit in the quantity produced. Also, increase the domestic production of these feed as imported concentrated feed is usually more expensive than their local counterparts. Customs tariff rate should be decreased on imported fodder as well as production requirements .
