UK Feed Additives Market Trends and Drivers
- Market growth is expected to be fueled by the increased demand in sustainable and nutritionally balanced animal feed from the livestock sector in the UK.
- UK livestock farmers now use different feed additives.
- The additives provide health benefits for livestock.
- The additives improve productivity, animal products quality, and livestock welfare.
- On account of the demand for sustainable and chemical-free feed for livestock, farmers and feed manufacturers are replacing synthetic feed additives with probiotic and prebiotic additives and plant-based enzymes.
- Sustainability initiatives are being supported through rigorous government regulation of the feed industry to introduce greater transparency in the manufacturing process, establish quality control, and reduce environmental damage.
- Consumer and retail pressures for animal products derived from animals raised under high welfare and sustainability standards combined with increasing use and availability of innovative, economically viable, and effective feed additives have led to their fundamental and common use in the livestock sector here in the UK.
- Technological factors are also affecting the UK feed additives industry as researchers and organizations are increasingly investing in precision nutrition, formulation development, biotechnology, fermentation, and enzyme engineering tools and processes.
- Investments in product formulations and nutritional management effectively support feed conversion efficiency and sustainability in feed additives.
- Smart systems make use of real-time monitoring to enable producers to manage nutrition intake, feed efficiency, and health standards effectively.
- An area of research that is emerging is encapsulated vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants, which are more stable and bioavailable, and require a lower quantity than their non-encapsulated counterparts to effectively achieve the desired outcome.
- This technology is helping to reduce the reliance on antibiotics in livestock, supporting the wider reduction of antibiotics in animal production.
- With a strong focus on science and innovation, UK feed additive supply companies make use of technology to ensure that their products are both compliant and competitive in the global marketplace.
- People expect that the demand for feed additives will continue to increase as livestock producers produce more throughout the United Kingdom.
- The poultry, swine, and ruminant feed sectors find this especially accurate.
- The poultry sector consumes feed additives the most, and enzymes and vitamins that improve growth rate and digestibility will be in demand.
- For this reason, the swine and ruminants industry has also been a driver for probiotic and mineral-based additives, as there is more focus on gut health, disease prevention, and fertility.
- Also, the demand for better quality animal products is driving the use of customized nutrition blends to address specific needs.
- The UK feed additives market is additionally driven by investment in domestic feed mills, system modernization in animal husbandry, shifts towards more sustainability in the feed industry to meet consumer demand, and the innovative development and use of scientifically formulated feed additives contributing to an efficient and responsible high output livestock industry.
