Direct fed Microbials Market

Direct-Fed Microbials Market Size & Growth:

Direct-Fed Microbials Market is expected to reach 1499.8 million USD by 2026, which is a significant increase from 1,012.4 million USD in 2021. 

The concept of Direct Fed Microbials (DFM) involves feeding dairy cattle beneficial microbes when they are under stress (disease, ration changes, production or environmental challenges). Probiotics is another name for this type of feed additives. Probiotics or DFM have been shown to enhance animal performance in controlled studies.

Lactic acid bacteria are widely used to feed poultry and ruminants for healthy development. The functions of poultry include altering metabolism by increasing digestive enzyme activity, maintaining healthy intestinal microflora and reducing the production of ammonia and bacterial enzyme activity. 

Recent Developments in Direct-Fed Microbials Market:

In 2006, the EU imposed a ban on the use of antibiotics in feed. After an eight-year transition period, the EU has completely stopped using AGP in 2014. According to the EU, the use of these medications has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria to treat infections in humans and animals. This ban has opened up tremendous potential opportunities for the Direct-Fed Microbials, as feed manufacturers are seeking ways to improve product quality, they are willing to explore Direct-Fed Microbials as an alternative. 

Drivers and Restraints of Direct-Fed Microbials Market:

Drivers:

• Direct-Fed Microbials are recognized for their active role in the enhancement of the digestibility of feedstuffs. Increasing awareness of physical health of cattle motivates the growth of the Direct-Fed Microbials Market.
• The increasing demand for treated animal feedstuffs because of the increased population who consume a carnivorous diet.
• The high global demand for poultry meat, due to their high protein content is expected to propel the Direct-Fed Microbials Market.  

Restraints:

• High cost of microbial and low shelf life are prompting an ascent in the price of production and limiting the development of the direct-fed microbials market.
