Cattle Feed Market Analysis

The Cattle Feed Market size is estimated at USD 90.52 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 107.51 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The global cattle feed market plays a crucial role in the agricultural sector, supporting the production of beef and dairy products that are integral to the global food system. This market encompasses a wide range of feed products and additives designed to optimize cattle health, growth, and productivity. This market is driven majorly due to the rising demand for cattle-based products in the world. According to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, the consumption of milk in India grew from 202.4 million metric tons in 2022 to 207.4 million metric tons in 2023. As the demand for meat and dairy continues to rise, the cattle feed market is also expanding supporting the market growth.

Government subsidies and financial assistance have contributed to the increased availability and affordability of cattle feed. Similarly, the Indian government provides subsidies on certain feed ingredients and feed formulations. For instance, an amount of Rs 500 lakh (USD 60 thousand) was allocated under the Cattle Feed Subsidy Programme 2022-2023 scheme. This is used for the distribution of natural feed components i.e. distributing green grass and dried fodder at a subsidized rate. Further cattle feed mineral supplements are being distributed at subsidized rates and adoption of calves for rearing. This has enabled more farmers to access high-quality feed, thereby improving cattle health and productivity further boosting the market.

Along with this, the feed sector is rapidly advancing, driven by technological innovations. Innovations in feed technology, such as precision feeding and advanced nutritional formulations, contribute to better feed efficiency and cattle performance. For instance, in 2024, Precision Livestock Technologies (PLT), a leading provider of software and hardware solutions related to livestock feeding and health, introduced the first system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict cattle feed intake and make feeding recommendations. These advancements help optimize the nutritional value of feed and reduce waste thereby supporting the market growth. Therefore, the growing demand for meat and milk coupled with government support and the advancement of feeding technologies are driving the market growth.
