According to an Irish Farmers Journal price survey, the average cost of mixed milk replacer at 12.5% solids is now 32c/l.
This is down from 38c/l in January 2023 and is similar to prices in January 2022, but is still substantially higher than milk replacer costs in January 2021 when it cost 27c/l on average. This reflects the higher cost of dairy-based ingredients.
