Abstract

[fre] Quatre pays de la CEE — Danemark, France, Pays-Bas, RFA — réalisent depuis 1970 une répartition statistique de leurs ressources fourragères entre les principales espèces animales : bovins, porcs, volailles. A défaut de données communautaires homogènes, ces bilans nationaux permettent néanmoins, à travers l'analyse de la composition des rations moyennes, une première comparaison des méthodes d'alimentation animale en Europe. Cette analyse se traduit en premier lieu par une meilleure connaissance de la destination des différents produits et en particulier de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler produits de substitution des céréales. Elle montre, par ailleurs, que la notion d'« usine à lait » ne correspond aux conditions moyennes de l'élevage laitier d'aucun des pays de la CEE, puisque la part des fourrages grossiers reste partout majoritaire dans la ration des bovins. Enfin, elle fait apparaître, de façon générale, la spécificité du modèle néerlandais, non seulement par rapport à la France, mais également vis-à-vis des deux autres pays du Nord, et notamment du Danemark. [eng] Four countries of the EEC, Denmark, France, The Netherlands and the FRG have published since 1970 statistical data showing the utilization of their feeding ressources by their main animal species : cattle, pig and poultry. Since comparable EEC data do not exist in general, these national statistics permit, through an analysis of the components of the average feeding rations, a first comparison of the various methods used for animal feeding in Europe. . This analysis brings out a better knowledge of the use of the various items and in particular of cereals substitutes. Furthermore it shows that the concept of « milkfactory » does not represent the standard situation of the dairy branch in the EEC countries where fodder remains the principal component of cattle feeding. Finally, the specificity of the Dutch model is brought to light, not only compared with France, but also compared with two other northen states including Denmark.
