The global Animal Feed Antibiotics industry has an estimated market valuation of USD 2.81 billion by 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2 % to reach a market valuation of USD 4.33 billion by 2034.
The Animal Feed Antibiotics Market has been anticipated to grow at a great speed due to the rapid expansion of animal farming and increased demand for animal protein. The further growth is fuelled by continuous research and development in providing antibiotic solutions that meet the regulatory standards for environment and human safety. The companies are focusing on antibiotics mix that require a shorter period to get eliminated from animals’ bodies and are not transferred into the food chain. Consumer awareness and health priorities are driving forces behind innovation and sustainable antibiotic solutions. Use of antibiotics is on the rise in Aquaculture feed due to increasing incidences of waterborne illness and infections in the farmed fishes. Bimeda through its Aquatactic product range has been providing aqua-feed antibiotics for the fish feeds for prevention of diseases and better growth of the fish. These antibiotics enhance the fish’s immunity and thus help in developing stronger and healthier fish.
Tailoring antibiotic solutions, specifically to each animal species, is becoming increasingly prevalent. Virbac is very keen on developing the antibiotics formulation for appropriate feed mixtures that can be used in commercial farms to improve the volume and profits. Feed supplemented with antibiotics increases the feed conversion rate, hence the growth performance.
Government regulations play a significant role in the development and use of new antibiotic formulations in animal farming. Due to rising concerns over the antibiotics’ sustainability and their effect on the human healthcare system, Elanco has developed an antibiotic premix that is eliminated from an animal’s body within 3 days, and its residues are not related to human therapeutic antibiotics. In total, these factors, in combination, predict steady growth of the industry.
