For immediate release – 9th March, 2026 

Context Products Ltd is proud to announce the release of the long-awaited second edition of The FEEDS Directory: Commodity Products. This essential guide has been comprehensively updated to meet the evolving needs of the modern agricultural industry, blending precision nutrition with new carbon footprint data.

As the livestock sector faces increasing pressure to monitor environmental impact, the 2nd Edition introduces vital ‘Footprint’ data, including CO2 equivalent and Land Use Change (LUC) guide numbers. This allows advisors, farmers, and nutritionists to make informed decisions that balance animal performance with environmental responsibility.

Data-Driven Decisions for Modern Agriculture

The directory features over 100 commonly used commodity feedstuffs – from soya bean meal to molasses – presented in a user-friendly A-Z format. To ensure the highest level of accuracy, the feed analysis data has been rigorously updated and cross-referenced against reputable sources.

Key features of the 2nd Edition include:

  • Typical Analysis Data: Expanded to include new nutrients and meticulously checked for accuracy.
  • Enhanced Visual Tools: The signature colour-coding returns, now accompanied by new donut charts to visualize major nutrient groups at a glance.
  • Species-Specific Guidance: Quick-reference icons indicate suitability for sheep, cattle, pigs, poultry, and direct on-farm feeding.
  • Expert Authorship: Joining original author W N Ewing is Sally Charlton BSc (Hons) Ani Sci, MSc, fully respected for her previous publications with Context and her thoroughness with data checking.

Availability and Bibliographic Details

The FEEDS Directory: Commodity Products (2nd Edition) is an indispensable resource for advisors, feed sales managers, farmers, students and livestock professionals.
