In recent years, the demand for good quality produce has majorly
being realized from the emerging countries of MEA and the Asia Pacific. The
demand for feed additives is stemming from the fact that these emerging
countries are witnessing an increase in the demand for good quality meat
products and also because there has been substantial growth in disposable
income as well. A rapidly evolving economy is leading to greater purchasing power
among the population which is leading to increasing meat consumption and
production. Furthermore, with some key players involved in bringing
improvements and natural ingredients in feed additives, the feed additives market is poised to grow at a good rate in the upcoming years.
2) Varieties: the success
mantra for animal feed
There are many different forms and varieties of animal feed
products available in the market which has gained traction among the livestock
farmers. The growing awareness among the livestock owners of the nutritional
content and substances used in animal feeds has majorly led those preferring
products with various nutrients and organic compounds rather than artificial in
their animal feed products, therefore, manufacturers are continually working
towards adding value and variety to their product ranges. Concerning quality
and functional ingredients, natural and compound feed additives options are the
key priorities for the animal feed producers. Also, the type of nutrients and components
available in the animal feed has emerged as one of the prime factors among the
livestock before deciding a particular brand. Currently, Compound feed
additives are popular in the feed additives market and key players like DSM are
providing their compound based feed additives.

Livestock owners these days prefer better and advanced quality
additives for an animal feed so that the animals can get proper nutrition as
well as good overall health. Livestock owners want the best available products
to add in the feed so that the quality of feed and the produce can increase.
This demand is facilitated by all the new product launches in the past few
years and investments made in the market. In 2017 a company Cargill Inc.
partnered with a European phytogenic company Delacon, which specializes in
natural additives for animal feed. Recently, in July 2019 A Polish Company
Vetphage Pharmaceuticals which is an arm of the Polish biotechnology company
Proteon Pharmaceuticals Group has launched two liquid feeds for the poultry
industry.
This liquid feeds Bafasal and Bafasal+G are special feed additives
with the presence of bacteriophages which helps prevent bacterial infections in
poultry. Players like DSM have launched a product that contains a combination
of three essential oils thymol, eugenol, and piperine which help in ensuring a
proper release of bioactive along the gastrointestinal tract. Also, a company
Indian Immunologicals Limited which is a subsidiary of the National Dairy
Development Board has launched new feed additive Calsagar which is a much
better supplement than others and it contains both vitamins and minerals. Owing
to the increasing demand and changes in the industry there have been some
changes by the players such as Biorigin a company that has produced a natural
based feed additive ProWean which provides immunity, intestinal health and
complete nutrition to weaning animals. New players like Layn Corp which have
entered this market recently are selling antioxidant based feed additives.
Thus, increasing the participation of big players along with the entrants of
new players in the food additives segment in introducing better and organic
feed additives is set to propel the feed additives market growth.

revolutionizing animal feed additive sales. The rising propensity of livestock
owners towards buying feed additives products via online stores is encouraging
new players to enter into the food additives segment. In June 2019 a company Anpario said
that it will be entering the online market so that commercial farmers and
livestock owners can buy the feed products more conveniently and easily.
