The global Animal feed additives market is projected to increase from USD 55,842.2 million in 2024 to USD 109,184.5 million in 2034. The market is anticipated to surge at a CAGR of 6.9% by 2034.
Feed additives are substances incorporated into animal diets to enhance the quality of feed, improve the quality of animal-derived food products, or boost the performance and health of animals. These additives can, for example, increase the digestibility of feed ingredients, leading to better overall nutrition and well-being.
The increased production of livestock has raised concerns about public health issues related to the use of antibiotics and the spread of foodborne diseases. As a result, probiotics or direct-fed microbials are gaining popularity in the animal feed market, as they promote gut health, overall productivity, and well-being in animals.
Probiotics also help control enteric pathogens and improve digestion and immune systems in animals such as cattle, ruminants, and poultry. Yeast-based probiotics are commonly used in swine, poultry, and ruminants.
Commercial probiotic-based animal feed additives usually contain microorganisms such as lactobacillus, streptococcus, bacillus, Pedi coccus, and Bifidobacterium. The demand for probiotics is expected to increase as the market shifts toward antibiotic-free meat. Adequate labeling of animal feed products is important to ensure safety and enable buyers to make informed choices.
Government regulations require proper labeling of feed ingredients, including complete lists of ingredients and nutrient levels. Balanced animal diets are crucial for livestock growth, development, and reproduction.
Animals have varying dietary requirements, and the inclusion of proper animal feed additives is necessary to enhance nutritional content. Insufficient nutrients can lead to malnutrition and health issues in animals.
Farmers are increasingly incorporating sustainable methods and investing in research and development to produce high-quality animal feed additives that improve livestock yield and the quality of end products such as eggs and milk.
