Abstract
The LHCb experiment covers a unique region of acceptance at forward rapidities in the high energy proton-proton collisions of the LHC. This means that measurements of particle production in LHCb are directly sensitive to the parton distribution functions at low Bj\"orken- values. Several measurements of inclusive and production with the Run-I dataset are reported in these proceedings. Further measurements of and production in association with inclusive jets and - and -tagged jets are also reported.
