Global Soy Chemicals Market is set to grow from its current market value of more than $25 billion to over $44.5 billion by 2024; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc.
Escalating awareness about medicinal benefits of soybean and growing demand for bio-based products will augment soy chemicals market share by 2024. Also, intensifying environmental concerns are likely to offer impetus to soy chemicals industry growth. Soy chemicals...
Nutrition of shrimp is an important consideration in health management of cultured vannamei shrimp. The extensive to semi-intensive and intensive farming of shrimp demands nutritionally complete feeds for successful culture. The use of nutritionally inadequate feeds for shrimps can result in reduced growth, less production, more stress, low survivals, nutritional deficiency syndromes, mortality, infectious diseases etc. The uses of a wide variety of natural compounds are capable to...
Introduction For economical reasons soybean meal (SBM) is commonly used as a protein source in animal feeds [1] but the increasing demand and price for SBM is stimulating interest in alternative sources of protein. Apart from the predicted nutritional properties of these novel protein sources, nothing is known about their potential effects on gut immunity and health. The effects of dietary protein on performance and health are dependent on the source(s) of protein (e.g. milk;...

Strict embargoes on antibiotic growth promoters, subject to the associated health concerns have indeed led to a spike in Eubiotics Market demand worldwide. Incidentally, since majority of these antibiotic growth promoters were discredited by regulatory authorities as well as consumer associations, researchers have been extensively investing in producing animal feed additives that are free from chemical intermediates. This is rather evident from the increased adoption of NGPs...
Demand for dietary proteins among expanding population, supported by rise in economic standards is driving animal feed protein ingredients market share. Growing awareness pertaining to benefits of animal proteins has led to increasing production of meat & meat products. Animal feed protein is gaining popularity owing to its ability to increase nutritional value of the animal-derived product, hence propelling animal feed protein ingredients market share.
Meeting consumer demand...
Steven Ricke (University of Arkansas) shared strategies for the development of feed additives to obtain optimal poultry performance and gastrointestinal health, during the 8th Symposium on Gut Health in Production of Food Animals in St. Louis, USA....
Have you heard of Ida-Ore Zeolite used as a natural Anticaking agent? I got approached by a consultant about scours, and apparently it is used as a feed additive and will help the herd that is affected by scours. Has anyone ever heard of this? It seems like snake oil, but he has brought up some local farms and some big names that use it. ...
The addition of yeasts as additive in ruminant diets has favorable effects on microbial population and on the ruminal fermentative indicators. Consequently, health and productivity of animals are improved (Stella et al. 2007 and Doleža et al. 2011). There are multiple products in the world market in which commercial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast are employed as activators of ruminal fermentation (Chaucheyras et al. 2004). However, there are not plenty studies showing the...
Introduction Energy is the most expensive component in swine diets, and record high feed costs in recent years have caused nutritionists to focus on optimizing caloric efficiency of feed ingredients used in commercial feeds. As a result, nutritionists need comprehensive, accurate, meaningful, and standardized analytical methods to quantify lipid peroxidation in feed ingredients before they will be able to effectively evaluate the impact of dietary lipid peroxidation on growth...
Introduction In many parts of the world, especially the arid and semi-arid regions, with scarce animal feed resources, low quality non-conventional feeds are frequently fed to livestock (Mahgoaub et al., 2008). High salinity of irrigation water and agricultural soil is a major impediment to the cultivation of traditional fodder crops as well as high costs of transporting feed to the Sinai Peninsula. Reducing feed costs and/or increase feed utilization may be an effective key for...
1. Introduction In Egypt, small ruminants are essential resources of cash revenue, savings nutrition (meat and milk), wool, compost and employment of many people particularly in populations with a low income and where poverty prevails. Improving the sustainability of animal production systems in Sinai by increasing the availableness of fodder resources through inducting of salt-tolerant fodder crops is considered one of the means to insure sustainable development of Bedouin...
Introduction With the increase of microbes resistance, the use of antibiotics as growth promoters is decreasing worldwide. As a consequence, there is a need for alternative products able to maintain production performances without antibiotics. In this context, a trial was conducted on laying hens to evaluate the effects of a patented activated clay (B-Safe). ...
Renée Vassilos (Banyan Innovation Group) talked about embracing changes in the industry, during 2019 NIAA Annual Conference: Animal Agriculture - Innovation, Technology and Consumer Engagement in Des Moines, Iowa, USA....
The growth graph of Animal Feed Enzymes Market is forecast to display an upward trend over the coming years, owing to the growing consumer preference for nutritious diet along with a substantial rise in the disposable incomes across emerging economies. According to the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), the average meat intake per individual across the globe is nearly 75 pounds in a year. This figure is an indication of the growing...
Introduction. Energy is a major cost component in diets for high-performing animals. Due to their high energy density, fats and oils are important energy sources in feed formulation. Improving the energy efficiency of these raw materials is of great interest from an economical point of view. Dietary emulsifier can be used in poultry feed as an important tool to improve fat digestibility, resulting in better energy ultilization of diets. The...

The American and European feed industries, represented by the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) and the European Feed Manufacturers’ Federation (FEFAC), have renewed their longstanding partnership to increase mutual cooperation on sustainable feed production, feed safety management, communication, trade and pre-competitive research. The memorandum of understanding (MOU), signed during FEFAC’s...
Introduction The pharmaceutical properties of aromatic plants exist in essential oils. They are used to treat diseases traditionally.1,2 Thyme (T. vulgaris) plant grows in throughout of Iran, especially in Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari and Fars provinces.3 The “Avishan or Azorbe,” (Persian name of Thyme) consists 14 species which grow in many regions of Iran.4 Thyme (T. vulgaris) is especially well known for its aromatic and therapeutic properties due to the essential...
Formic acid - strongest bactericidal/ bacteriostatic effect The performance benefits of including formic acid in feed for pigs and poultry that have been reported widely under farm conditions stem from its strong antimicrobial activity; as seen in numerous in vitro tests. Contaminated feedstuffs, recontamination during storage, transport and outfeed result in...
Feed phosphates are used as supplements for the diets of livestock, such as poultry, swine, cattle, and aquatic animals. They help animals attain faster growth, improving gut functionality, fertility, and aiding bone development. Feed phosphates optimize the nutritional value of feed and further enhance the quality of meat and dairy. The market is driven by the rise in consumption of meat and dairy products and high threat of diseases in livestock.
