Manufacturers report dry whey inventories are a little tighter and spot availability has declined recently. Dry whey production is active, but some processors have swayed to making higher proteins instead of dry whey. Industry contacts are mixed in their view of current demand. Some say domestic demand is balanced, good but not great, while others suggest demand has dropped off considerably in recent weeks. Animal feed whey prices expanded this week. Prices for various feed substitutes are tugging animal feed whey prices in different directions. End users are looking for deals among the feed material options. F.O.B.
