CURRENT SCENARIO OF THE GLOBAL COMPOUND FEED MARKET

The most common additives to form compound feed are minerals, amino acids, antibiotics, and colorants.

The compound feed consists of food products manufactured especially for animals. The compound feed market is developing at a significant rate due to the increase in the livestock population. Compound feed is a mixture of raw materials and supplements sourced from either plants or animals and fed to the livestock orally. The most commonly used raw materials are soybean, corn, barley; wheat, and sorghum. Compound feed has become an essential part of the globally increasing livestock industry and meat production industry. The end consumers of the compound feed are poultry, pigs, ruminants, fish, etc.

The growth of the global compound feed market is majorly driven by factors such as the growth in global meat consumption, an increase in awareness towards meat quality and safety, an increase in mass production of meat, and recent livestock disease outbreaks. Globally increasing population is also supporting the growth of the world meat market, ultimately increasing demand for compound feed. An increase in consumer awareness regarding the benefits of organic food and meat led to an increase in consumption which in turn led to an increase in demand for organic feed.

Different regulatory structures, volatile economies, and the increasing cost of operations are the major restraining factors for the market. And, an increase in the cost of raw materials is also a key challenge for the companies in the market.
