Particle Production Studies at LHCb

This paper summarises four analyses of minimum bias data collected with the LHCb detector from $pp$ collisions at the LHC. The geometry and particle identification system of the LHCb experiment provide unique capabilities for this type of study. Results will be presented on the production cross section of $K^0_s$ at $\sqrt{s} = 0.9$ TeV and the prompt $\bar{\Lambda}/\Lambda$, $\bar{\Lambda}/K^0_s$ and $\bar{p}/p$ production ratios and the inclusive $\Phi$ production cross section at $\sqrt{s} = 0.9$ TeV and $\sqrt = 7$ TeV. Baryon ratios are also presented in terms of rapidity loss, $\Delta
