Phytogenic Feed Additives Market Dynamics and Trends

Rising Demand for Phytogenic Feed Additives as Alternatives to Antibiotic Growth in Poultry

Plant secondary metabolites, phytochemicals, Probiotics, or botanicals are plant-derived compounds that contain a wide range of substances such as herbs, spices, and essential oils that have been found to have growth-promoting and therapeutic characteristics. The use of phytogenics as an alternative reduces the likelihood of antibiotic-resistant infections in poultry.

Concerns about antibiotic resistance prompt it to investigate other antibiotics with growth-promoting properties. As a feed ingredient, this antibiotic is not predicted to cause bacterial resistance and has no possible negative effects on poultry. In addition, the use of feed additives to increase the efficiency of growth and egg production, prevent illness, and improve feed utilization is a technique to improve the poultry industry's efficiency.

Stringent Regulations on Antibiotic Feed Additives

Farmers and the economy as a whole view the use of antibiotics in poultry and animal production as beneficial since it has typically increased poultry performance economically and efficiently. However, the potential spread of antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms into the environment, followed by transmission to people via the food chain, might have major consequences for public health. 

Furthermore, the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth is prohibited in the United States. Also, the use of the antibiotic Colistin in animal feed, poultry, and aqua farms is prohibited by the Indian government.As a result of these prohibitions, new creative phytogenic feed additives will be required as an alternative to antibiotics.

Expensive Price of Raw Materials

The key raw materials utilized in the production of phytogenic feed additives are extracts from various spices and essential oils such as herbs and spices, which all serve as sources of bioactive substances like phenols and flavonoids. However, the high cost of essential oil limits the expansion of the phytogenic feed additives market. Aromaaz International, for instance, sells aniseed spice oil for $8.50 per 100 mL.

Furthermore, the process of phytogenic feed additive products is expensive owing to the participation of blending those various additives into combination products, which increases the value of the final products.

Phytogenic Feed Additives Market Segmentation Analysis

The global phytogenic feed additives market is segmented based on type, livestock, source, form, distribution channel, packaging, function and region.

Herbs & Spices Demand in Phytogenic Feed Additives Market

The herbs and spices category accounts for a significant share of the globally phytogenic feed additives market. Herbs and spices are used to make essential oils. Herbs and spices have lately garnered a lot of attention in feed manufacturing due to their medicinal effects, culinary appeal, and the limitation on particular antibiotics as growth promoters. They are also becoming increasingly important since long-term ingestion does not harm animals. Herbs and spices assist animals in maintaining a healthy digestive tract when utilized as phytogenic feed additives in animal nutrition.

Furthermore, research and development activities for the spare derive the best performance of herbal poultry nutrition from a wide range of herbs and spices like thyme, oregano, black cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, and black cumin. As a consequence, employing these spices and herbs will result in a new novel option for phytogenic feed additives.
