Market Trends of Global Ruminant Feed Premix Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Ruminant Feed Premix Market according to our research experts:
Increased Awareness regarding Safety of Meat and Milk Products
Food safety has become a paramount issue for many governments around the world, especially in North America and Europe. Consumers are currently more aware and they give importance to the external, as well as nutritional quality attributes of the meat they consume. The animals often stand in their own waste and are under constant stress that affects their immune system, thus, making them prone to infection. In such situations, farmers opt for feed premixes to reduce the spread of diseases. Use of feed premix with enzymes and vitamins provides balanced nutrition to animals and protects them against harmful environmental influences.
Increasing Feed Premix Consumption in the United States
The United States is the leading consumer of feed premix in North America with a share of more than 30% of the North American ruminant feed premix market. The US feed additives market is highly organized, with production, usage, and marketing of compound feed and feed additives being carried out under regulation. The ban on antibiotics as growth promoters in animals has created an opportunity for feed additives, such as enzymes and acidifiers, further enhancing the quality of meat and productivity of livestock. Increasing production cost of raw materials is a major concern for manufacturers who are focusing on improving feed premix quality to enhance efficiency.
