A wide range of additives are given to farm animals, including coccidiostats, histomonostats, nutritional additives, sensory additives, and zootechnical additives. Animals that are nutrient-deficient can receive specific nutrients from nutritional supplements, while animals with an increased appetite due to sensory stimulation can consume more. Coccidiostats and histomonostats are antibiotics that are used to stop bacterial and microbial growth in the feed, while zootechnical additives are added to the feed to improve the health and performance of the animals. The usage of coccidiostats and histomonostats has been outlawed by the European Commission under strict controls, and probiotic substitutes have taken their place. A growing number of feed additives are being utilised to supplement the animal's diet with the nutrients it needs to grow and to shield human consumers from diseases like swine flu and bird flu.
Global Animal Feed Additives Market was valued at US$ 16,331.4 Million in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.9% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).
