The Europe Dairy Cattle Feed Market was worth USD 16 billion in 2018 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 2.6%, to reach USD 18.19 billion by 2023. Dairy cattle have a higher metabolism than the normal cattle. Dairy cattle feed includes a variety of forage which includes grass, silage, legumes as well as an assortment of grain, soy and other high energy density diets. Dairy feed is mainly used in cattle farms and animal feeding units.
Dairy cattle feed is made specifically with the aim of improving the production of milk. Dairy cattle feed is especially rich in carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals which are needed for the healthy growth of a milking animal. Common ingredients of cattle feed include corn-fed, soy feed, rice bran, oilseeds, alfalfa and wheat which is a major ingredient in almost all varieties of cattle feed due to its property of maintaining proper digestion of dairy cattle.
The major factors affecting the Dairy Cattle Feed market is the obvious increase in demand for milk products. So the rising populations and changing consumption patterns of the people can be considered as indirect growth factors resulting in an increased demand for dairy products. Maintaining a healthy diet also prevents metabolic diseases in the herd and this serves as another growth factor for the market. As for the restraints for the market, the higher cost for specialized feed is the main one. The prospective advantages of using dairy cattle feed are also unknown to several regions and farmers still use traditional diets for their cattle. This lack of awareness among farmers is another restraining factor for the market.
The Europe Dairy Cattle Feed market is broadly classified into Vitamins, Trace Minerals, Amino Acids, Feed Antibiotics, Feed Acidifiers, Feed Enzymes, Antioxidants and Other Additives based on product type, by ingredient type they are classified into Corn, Soybean Meal, Wheat, Oilseeds and Grains and Others and based on Application they come under Dairy Cattle Growth Phase divided into Heifers and Dairy Cows and Others. Based on geography, the Europe market is divided into Italy, France, UK, Germany and Spain. The European region has the second highest market share globally only behind the likes of North America, albeit with a low CAGR rate. The low growth rate of the region can be attributed to the fact that most countries in the region are in their pinnacle of development and the room to grow is fast decreasing.
