Cattle feed includes a blend of concentrated ingredients, such as molasses, mixers, vitamins, minerals, grains, protein cakes, and agro-industrial by-products in suitable proportions. It is a rich source of omega-3, fibers, acidifiers, carbohydrates, antibiotics, enzymes, and antioxidants. Cattle feed possesses several health attributes, such as increased reproductive efficiency, enhanced milk production with better fat content, and a maintained balanced diet. They also help maintain optimum body conditions, protect pellets against infestations caused by insects or molds, and prevent muscular disorders, such as laminitis and azoturia. Based on these properties, cattle feed is extensively used in the prescribed proportion to promote livestock growth and meet their nutritional requirements. At present, they are commercially available in the mash, pellets, crumbles, and cube forms.

Cattle Feed Market Trends:
The rapid growth in the dairy industry and the increasing consumption of various animal-based products, such as milk, egg, and meat, owing to their multiple health benefits, are primarily driving the market growth. This is further influenced by the increasing need for effective gut-friendly feed antibiotics, acidifiers, and phytogenic nutrients by farmers to fulfill the dietary needs of livestock. In line with this, the rising number of zoonotic and epidemic disease outbreaks amongst cattle have prompted livestock farmers to utilize quality premixes for consumption by ruminants and aquatic animals, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the escalating awareness amongst manufacturers regarding various harmful effects of artificial supplements has inclined them to incorporate non-genetically modified organisms (non-GMO) crops in cattle feed, which is contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the numerous initiatives being undertaken by regulatory bodies to provide farmers with cattle feed to improve overall animal health are impelling the market growth. Apart from this, ongoing product standardization and research and development (R&D) activities are supporting the market growth.
