Animal feed refers to the food products grown and manufactured for the consumption of ruminants, poultry, swine, aquatic animals, etc. It is produced through blending products with high nutritional content such as silage, hay, straw, oils, sprouted grains and legumes. It is rich in proteins, fibers, carbohydrates, minerals, enzymes, acidifiers, antibiotics, and antioxidants, which further enriches the animal produce, including milk, eggs and meat. The feed also acts as a source of energy to sustain life processes and support muscular activity in the animals. The rising demand for meat and animal-based products and the consequent increase in commercial livestock production are the key factors driving the growth of the market. Owing to the growing health-consciousness among consumers, there is a burgeoning demand for dairy and meat products as a source of various nutrients, which is positively impacting the need for animal feed. Furthermore, increasing awareness regarding the health benefits of algae-based ingredients in animal feed is another major factor driving the growth of the market. Microalgae plays a crucial role in enriching animal feed with nutrients for the early developmental stages of the livestock. It also ensures the production of premium quality eggs, milk and meat while boosting physical growth. Additionally, vendors are incorporating non-Genetically Modified Organisms (non-GMO) crops in animal feed to meet the consumers’ demand for all-natural food sources. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacity of consumers, extensive research and development (R&D) and the implementation of favorable government policies promoting the use of quality animal feed, are expected to drive the market further.
