COVID-19 IMPACT 

COVID-19 broke supply chains, therefore causing feed scarcity.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Primarily through supply chain and transportation network disruptions, the COVID-19 pandemic greatly shook the international animal feed supplements market. Restrictions and quarantines in major agricultural and manufacturing locations resulted in manufacturing stoppages and logistical delays, therefore producing bottlenecks that impacted the timely availability of vital feed components. These disturbances not only resulted in shortages but also increased costs, therefore challenging both end-users and suppliers. Furthermore, the temporary closing of slaughterhouses, lower food service industry operations, and lower consumer demand for meat and dairy products caused the epidemic to cause a drop in livestock production. This caused a temporary drop in the demand for feed additives. The market, nevertheless, saw a sharp comeback as the world economy slowly reopened. The industry recovered momentum from resumed agricultural activities, stabilization in meat output, and a renewed emphasis on improving animal health by means of better diet. Furthermore, emphasizing the need for immune-boosting and disease-preventive nutrition, the epidemic helped to raise awareness and long-term demand for premium feed supplements.

LATEST TREND

Increasing attention on immune support and gut health in animal nutrition

Increased worries about zoonotic diseases and their effects on human and animal health have prompted an increased emphasis on enhancing the immunity and gut health of livestock by means of complex feed supplementation. The sector is moving toward feed products that improve the natural defense mechanisms of animals as customers and governmental agencies demand more secure, more sustainable animal agriculture techniques. This strategy lessens reliance on antibiotics, therefore matching worldwide rules that limit or prohibit the use of antibiotic growth promoters. Along with being a reaction to public health issues, the trend toward natural, immunity-boosting feed additives is also a strategic move to raise animal output and overall farm revenue.

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Minerals, Amino Acids, Vitamins, and Enzymes

• Minerals: Vital for animal bone health, reproduction, and metabolic processes. Calcium, phosphorus, and zinc are all common minerals. Maintaining electrolyte balance and supporting enzyme activation in animals depends in great part on these minerals. Deficiencies might result in stunted development, compromised immunity, and reproductive problems.

• Amino Acids: Important for growth, tissue restoration, and enzyme production are vital protein components. Key amino acids employed in diets include methionine and lysine. They help with general metabolic processes, increase feed efficiency, and aid muscle growth. In high-performance cattle systems, when the best growth rates are needed, amino acids are especially important to supplement.

• Vitamins: Facilitate growth, reproduction, and health. Vitamins A, D, and E are the most commonly used supplements in animal feed. These vitamins can help prevent disease related to deficiencies and aid in developing normal skin, bones, and vision. Vitamin D is especially important in calcium metabolism, while Vitamin E promotes cell integrity as an antioxidant.

• Enzymes: Enhance digestion and nutrient utilization, especially in non-ruminants like poultry and swine. Enzymes such as the common protease and phytase make nutrients more available by degrading complex components of feed (proteins, fiber, phytic acid, etc.). By reducing waste excretion, the enzymes lead to better feed utilization, decrease feed costs, and reduce environmental pollution.

By Application

Based on application, the global market can be categorized into Poultry Feeds, Ruminant Feeds, Pig Feeds

• Poultry Feeds: One of the largest segments, driven by increasing global demand for eggs and chicken, falls into this product category of supplements, with the focus on disease resistance, egg production and growth rate. Feed additives - take the form of enzymes, vitamins, and probiotics - are often utilized to optimize feed efficiency and promote bird health. There are specialty formulations made for different poultry stages - broilers, layers, and breeders - to support birds on their specific dietary needs.

• Ruminant Feeds: Includes cattle, buffalo, and goats; the supplements focus on digestive health, reproduction performance, and milk yield. Rumen protective amino acids, minerals and yeast cultures are some of the feed additives supported by research that can help maximize rumen fermentation and nutrient utilization in the complex digestive system of ruminants. Research is often focused on maximizing environmental sustainability by improving milk composition, better fertility and even reduced methane emissions.

• Pig Feeds: Meant to boost immunity, feed conversion, and weight gain. In concentrated pig farming methods, supplements assist in reducing stress and illness. Promoting good development and reducing antibiotic usage using amino acids, organic acids, and immune enhancers defines nutritional approaches. Good supplements guarantee consistent development, improved carcass quality, and better survival rates in grower and weaner.
