Feed additives and suppliments

[Md Abdul Bari]

The poultry feed industry is experiencing several emerging trends aimed at enhancing sustainability, efficiency, and animal health. Key developments include:

1. Functional Complementary Feeds: These feeds incorporate special ingredients such as amino acids, enzymes, and medium-chain fatty acids to support intestinal function, metabolism, and the immune system, thereby promoting animal health and reducing the need for antibiotics.

2. Alternative Protein Sources: To address concerns over genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and environmental sustainability, there’s a shift towards non-GMO protein sources like rapeseed meal, field beans, peas, lupins, sunflower meal, and insect protein. Insect protein, in particular, has gained approval in regions like the EU and is under research for its feasibility in animal diets.

3. Sustainable and Organic Feed: With rising consumer demand for organic meat and heightened food safety concerns, there’s an increased emphasis on premium, organic poultry feed. This trend supports the production of organic poultry products and aligns with consumer preferences for sustainably sourced food.

4. Phytogenic Feed Additives: Derived from herbs, spices, or other plants, phytogenics serve as natural growth promoters and alternatives to antibiotics. They are added to animal diets to improve nutrition and growth, with potential benefits including enhanced gut health and reduced ammonia emissions.
