The direct feed microbial are animal feed additives that contain live good micro-organisms which boosts the animal gut environment and providing immunity and boosting the appetite of animal. The micro-organisms include various strains of bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Bacillus Licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis, Bifidobacterium and Enterococcus. Of these, the lactic acid bacteria is the most widely used strain. The direct feed microbial also include yeast. The most commonly used species of yeast are Saccharomyces cervisae, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae. The inclusion of the microbials is in CFUs or Colony Forming Units, as is also mentioned on the product labels. The direct feed microbial are also called as probiotics developed for animals by some countries and manufacturers.
In Europe, these products are categorized as zootechnical additives meant as gut stabilizers or additives improving the intestinal flora of the animals.
The global feed microbial market is spread across key geographies, of which Europe is expected to remain the dominant market with a high value share throughout the forecast period. While North America is the most mature regional market for feed microbial, East Asia is projected to exhibit relatively high growth in the global feed microbial market during the forecast period. The South Asia & Pacific region contributes a great deal to the global animal feed market owing to the rearing of livestock for meat as well as dairy products in the region. Feed microbial are at a nascent stage in the South Asia & Pacific, and this region is projected to witness high growth during the period of forecast. Europe is the largest regional market for feed microbial, with an estimated value share of more than 40% by the end of the forecast period in 2025. Close on its heels are North America at about 29% market share and East Asia at around 21% share.
The global market for feed microbial is estimated to reach an approximate valuation of US$ 2,552.5 Mn in the forecast period.
What are the Key Trends in the Market for Feed Microbial?
"Growing rate of Meat Consumption"
Demand for poultry in the Middle East and Africa will continue to grow as ongoing changes in the region's demographics. These changes offer opportunities for the region's poultry producers, but as individual markets become richer and more sophisticated, the local poultry industry will need to not only decide on how to respond to growing demand but it will have to face emerging concerns over animal welfare. Animal Feed Microbial are important animal feed additives for improving animal feed quality to produce high quality animal products like meat, milk etc. Animal Feed microbial are becoming famous essentially because of the greater performance and growing applications, for example, development promoter, prevention, and cure of illnesses, for amplifying reproduction rate and for improving feed digestibility in animals. These factors help drive the demand of fed microbial in MEA.
"Role of Feed Microbial in Poultry industry"
The role of direct-feed microbial in poultry includes altering the metabolism by enhancing digestive enzyme activity, maintaining normal intestinal micro flora, and reducing bacterial enzyme activity and ammonia production. They improve feed intake and digestion, neutralize enterotoxins, and stimulate the immune system. Such benefits are driving the demand for direct-microbial in the poultry sector. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are gaining high popularity in the Direct-Feed Microbial Market across the world, the increasing demand for LAB's used in feed for animal health & nutrition have significantly contributed to the growth in the market. Lactic acid bacteria are more convenient to use, owing to their ease in application. They are the most widely used directly-feed microbial product and hence, the lactic acid bacteria segment is projected to be the fastest-growing for the next ten years.
"High Cost of Maintenance"
All direct – fed microbial products contain living organisms. Therefore, the manner in which products are manufactured, shipped, stored and handled is very important. Conditions that kill direct-fed microbial include storage for long periods, high temperatures, low temperatures, direct sun, high humidity, oxygen, presence of mineral premixes, and others. Over time, organism will die and product effectiveness will be lost. So it is pretty evident that cost of maintenance for fed microbial is pretty high. Moreover, the cost of fed microbial varies for each brand in the industry which in turn may affect the quality of fed microbial or feed additives.
"Dominance of Asia-Pacific in global market"
Asia-Pacific animal feed additives market is the largest in the world comprising of almost one third of the global animal feed additive market. Improving nutrient availability, digestibility and growth rate of animals throughout Asia-Pacific and particularly in countries such as India, China, Vietnam and Australia have been some of the factors that have promoted to the growth of feed additives in the region. Additionally, consumption of feed additives has also been observed to play an important role in reducing environmental pollution associated with the livestock industry which has been another factor that has resulted in increased usage of the feed additives throughout Asia pacific.
"Antimicrobial activity against harmful bacteria"
There is a growing anti-microbial resistance in the poultry and the cattle. Conventional antibiotics are losing their efficacy, have to be introduced in more dosage inside the animals and also tend to create side effects in the body of the animals. Feed microbial are coming up as better substitutes for the animal antibiotics and also provide a natural defence system to the host animals and help in improving the immune system of the animals
In 2011, Food Research International published a paper about the use of direct feed microbial for the control of salmonella in poultry animals. Their research has confirmed that feed microbial significantly reduced the Clostridium and Salmonella bacteria in poultry animals through the use of a spore forming bacillus strain and have also concluded the use of stable, cost effective and therapeutic use of direct feed microbial.
