MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  June 25, 2015 (REPORT 25)                          

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

Central dry whey prices are unchanged to lower following active sales 
outside of contracts. The market tone is weak as many buyers are 
content to dip into the f.o.b. spot market on a weekly basis to fill 
near-term needs. Some manufacturers of whey protein concentrates have 
shifted to producing dry whey. Other manufacturers have no other 
outlet for liquid whey other than dry whey. With strong milk supplies 
continuing to enter cheese manufacturing, dry whey production is 
active. Inventories are variable. Some manufacturers have light 
inventories, but others indicate dry whey holdings are above their 
previous projections and current needs. 

Animal feed dry whey prices are unchanged for the week. Feed blenders 
report their needs for blending inputs are steady for production of 
heifer replacement/dairy beef feeds, and steady to lower for 
production of veal calf feed.
