The ingredients are selected for their nutritional value, non-toxic effects, and also based on their cost. The primary nutrients that are essential for animals and will definitely be a part of the feed are proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Along with these sources of starch and fibre content are also added.
The ingredients generally include cereals, by-products from mills, and any other nutritional sources. By-products from plants and animals, and those that are not suitable for human consumption,n also find their way into animal feed. Ingredients that make the animals consume more feed or those that make them take food voluntarily are also included in the feed. Micronutrients required for the animals are also being manufactured in recent years.
Market Drivers and Restraints
Increasing food safety concerns, especially regarding the quality of meat and animal productsareis the major factor driving the growth of feed ingredients markets. Increasing demand for nutritional feed for animals, rising number of animal infections, the thriving trend of nurturing companionanimalsils and the requirements of farmers to increase the production as well as the rate of production of areal is expected to propel the market. However, stringent regulations on meat and its products by international agencies and a lack of awareness among many farmers regarding the feed requirements of the animals are restraining the market growth.
