Meat products are rich sources of protein, vitamins and minerals which are essential for performing certain bodily functions along with enhancing immunity thereby positively influencing feed phosphate market growth.

These products are added to the commercial animal feed and used as additives for providing essential nutrients to animals including phosphorus and calcium. Rising nutrition requirements for poultry production along with favorable government standards will foster the feed phosphate industry growth.

The products help in maintaining osmotic pressure, buffer capacity and acid-base balance along with bone development and providing overall nutrition. Phosphorus supply is considered as a crucial element in animals thereby facilitating their metabolism, immunity and reproductive systems. According to The National Research Council in the U.S., the largest number of deaths occur due to nutritional deficiencies in the poultry species. Additionally, these deficiencies are also likely to cause diseases such as rickets which further reduces the economic and reproductive capacities in animals.

North America feed phosphate market driven by U.S and Canada is projected to surpass USD 1 Billion by 2024 owing to rising working population which demand for more convenience and processed foods which are mainly meat-based such including beef and work. An average of 55.6 pounds of beef was consumed by Americans in 2016 owing to availability of these products at lower costs and high economic conditions.
