【 摘 要 】

This report examines events and policy changes in the livestock sectors of the European Union during the 1990s and their impacts on trade in feedstuffs. Lower grain prices and a declining euro together with several animal disease epidemics resulted in significant increases in the feeding of grains and oilseed meals and a reduction in the feeding of nongrain feed ingredients.
