Russia Feed Additives Market Analysis
The Russia Feed Additives Market size is estimated at USD 0.99 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 1.25 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.77% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
The increasing demand for livestock products is driving significant changes in supply chains to enhance livestock product yields. Capital-intensive technologies have enabled poultry and pig meat production in industrial facilities across Russia, particularly in areas with limited land availability. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, Russia's swine population increased from 26.1 million heads in 2022 to 27.9 million heads in 2023, indicating a higher demand for feed additives. The Federal Statistics Service reported that Russian pork production increased by 6.5% to reach 5.6 million tonnes in 2023.
The optimization of herd sizes across dairy and poultry production systems continues, yet inadequate investments from small-scale farmers remain a significant challenge, constraining livestock production growth. Government policies aim to support and enhance supply to meet market demand. Industrial-scale livestock operations utilize high-quality feed to improve production efficiency, feed conversion ratios, and animal protein content. As more farmers transition to industrial-scale production, the demand for feed additives increases to support the expanding production of high-quality compound feed. The growth in milk and cattle production, combined with these factors, drives the expansion of the Russian feed additives market.
Feed additives commonly used in swine feed include acidifiers, zinc, copper, prebiotics, direct-fed microbials, yeast products, nucleotides, and plant extracts. Research conducted in 2022 demonstrated that malic acid supplementation in swine feed over 28 days increased oxidative fiber percentage and aerobic oxidation in weaned piglets. Rising raw material costs for swine feed have prompted farmers to incorporate supplements and feed additives to maintain profit margins. Despite the impact of swine flu outbreaks in Russia on feed production, the overall increase in production continues to drive the feed additives market growth during the forecast period.
Russia Feed Additives Market Trends
Rising Preference for Meat and Animal Products
Russia's high urbanization rate continues to be shaped by birth rates, migration patterns, and administrative reforms. According to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the urban population in Russia increased from 75.13 percent in 2022 to 75.33 percent in 2023. Rising income levels have altered dietary preferences, resulting in higher per capita consumption of meat and seafood. Growing awareness about protein-rich diets has increased the consumption of animal protein sources. This trend is projected to drive the growth of the feed additives market through increased compound feed usage in the industry.
According to the Russian Federal State Statistics Service, poultry remained the highest-produced meat category in Russia, reaching 5.33 million metric tons in 2023, up from 5.30 million metric tons in 2022. Pork production continued its upward trend, reaching 4.71 million metric tons in 2023 compared to 4.53 million metric tons in 2022. The National Union of Pig Breeders reported that per capita pork consumption increased from 29.9 kilograms to 30.6 kilograms in 2023. The growing demand for animal protein sources, including meat, milk, and eggs, has driven increased production to meet Russian consumer needs. The adoption of improved feed management practices and increased use of compound feed is projected to enhance livestock yields, subsequently driving the feed industry to optimize feed additive usage.
Furthermore, the growing reliance on natural anti-inflammatory feed additives for swine and poultry is driving the phytogenics feed additives market in Russia. As one of the major global producers of poultry meat, Russia's increasing consumption of poultry and pork meat necessitates disease-resistant and safe meat production. The rising demand for organic meat in Russia has further accelerated the growth of feed additives in the region.

Poultry Dominates the Market
Russia's poultry production is a key component of its agricultural industry. The country's poultry sector has expanded due to rising domestic and international demand for poultry products. According to the Russian Federal State Statistics Service, the chicken population in Russia reached 499.2 million heads in 2023, up from 488.2 million heads in 2022. Russian egg production increased to 46.6 billion units in 2023, representing a 1.2% growth from 2022. This growth in poultry production is anticipated to increase the demand for feed additives.
Russia holds a notable position in the global poultry trade market. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, Russia exported 260,678.3 metric tons of chicken meat valued at USD 477,347 million in 2023, ranking as the 14th largest poultry meat exporter globally. China emerged as the primary export destination, accounting for over 46% of the total export value in 2023, while Saudi Arabia represented 15%. In November 2024, Russia's Ministry and the General Administration of the People's Republic of China established protocols for mutual deliveries of frozen poultry and dairy products. The agreement covers frozen poultry products, including edible offals such as chicken hearts, liver, kidneys, stomachs, heads, skin, wings, paws, and cartilage, subject to compliance with the veterinary and sanitary requirements of Russia, EAEU, and China.
International market demand requires poultry producers to optimize their productivity while meeting strict quality standards. Feed additives enhance meat quality, improve nutrient absorption, and reduce disease occurrence in poultry. In 2023, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks affected three commercial poultry flocks in western Russia. In the Republic of Tatarstan, the outbreak resulted in 17,800 deaths from a flock of 195,503 birds, with the remaining birds culled. The expansion of poultry production increases disease outbreak risks. Feed additives, such as antibiotics and organic acids, support poultry gut health and immune system function, reducing disease susceptibility.
