The word "feed additives" refers to numerous kinds of chemicals, substances, or organisms that help animals eat, absorb, and assimilate nutrients in order to ensure their growth efficiency and overall health. These chemicals enhance physiological systems like immune function, stress resistance, and reproduction. Some of the most common feed additives are attractants, immunostimulants, prebiotics, probiotics, acidifiers, and essential oils. Feed additives are items used in animal nutrition to improve the quality of animal feed and animal-based foods.
Europe Animal Feed Additives Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Drivers: A well-balanced diet is essential for animals' physical and mental health. The animal feed additives industry is being driven by a growing knowledge of the benefits of giving protein-rich diets to agricultural animals. Feed additives are mineral, protein, and vitamin-rich compounds used to help animals grow. Animal health disorders are continually evolving, fuelling the demand for feed additives to lower the likelihood of weight loss, sickness, and infections in animals. Agricultural practitioners and governments in several developing nations are working to implement techniques to improve animal production and product quality through diet in order to increase profitability. Feed additives, in addition to improving animal health, increase production and the quality of the byproducts produced.
Challenges: Variations in the cost of raw materials used to manufacture feed additives are expected to impact manufacturing costs. Fluctuations in commodity prices, such as minerals and grains, make it difficult for businesses to control costs. Consumer worries about chemical residues in animal products have led to increased demand for feed additives with low residue levels. This has resulted in a shift towards organic and natural ingredients. It also creates issues for producers who use synthetic additives.
Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Animal Feed Additives Market
The Covid-19 epidemic has had a major influence on the animal feed additives business. Supply chain interruptions, travel restrictions, and economic uncertainty have all had an impact on market dynamics.
