Feed Anticoccidials Market Analysis

The growth in livestock production is likely to create a demand for feed anticoccidials to fight against diseases such as coccidiosis. Livestock farmers are also concerned about the health of livestock. Thus, they are adopting various strategies to fight against diseases and investing in feed antibiotics such as anticoccidials. Phibro Animal Health Corp, Kemin Industries Inc., Elanco Animal Health Inc., Zoetis Inc., and Huvepharma EOOD are among the major feed anticoccidials manufacturers operating in the market. Market players are investing in research & development to launch more efficient products with improved benefits to attract a large number of consumers.

Feed Anticoccidials Market Overview

Feed anticoccidials are feed additives used to prevent intestinal diseases such as coccidiosis among livestock animals. It is considered an antibiotic in animal feed. There are three types of feed anticoccidials available i.e., ionophores, chemical anticoccidials, and chemical-ionophores. The prevalence of coccidiosis is increasing in poultry birds, equines, and ruminants. Thus, livestock farmers and feed manufacturers are incorporating anticoccidials in animal feed that can further reduce the impact of intentional disease caused by parasites. Moreover, the surging livestock population across the globe with increasing meat and dairy consumption creates a huge demand for feed anticoccidials as a feed additive.

Feed Anticoccidials Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rise in Prevalence of Coccidiosis

Coccidiosis directly infects animals and reduces their performance; it results in large economic losses. Owing to its direct impact on flock appearance and intestinal health, it is a major global concern in the poultry industry. The EW Nutrition Technical Team reports that coccidial illness costs the poultry sector more than US$ 14 billion a year and is a serious intestinal problem. Owing to damage to the intestinal cells, the disease results in decreased body weights, increased feed conversion rates, abnormalities in skin color, irregular flock sizes, and ultimately, death. According to DSM, across the world, yearly losses were estimated at more than US$ 3 billion due to coccidiosis in chickens and other avian species. Thus, coccidiosis prevention is becoming essential for producers, veterinary associations, and regulatory authorities of various countries.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the usage of antibiotics such as an anticoccidial in animal feed as an additive can treat infections. There is a surge in the use of anticoccidials in feed by animal feed manufacturers to fight against infection in animals, overcome losses, and improve farm profitability. Thus, the rising prevalence of coccidiosis fuels the feed anticoccidial market growth.

Introduction of Non-Ionophores in Animal Feed

Non-ionophores are compounds produced by chemical synthesis; thus, they fall under the category of chemical anticoccidials. They destroy coccidia by cidal activity or suppress coccidia by static activity. They have no known antibacterial activity; hence, they are not considered as an antibiotic. Non-ionophores are products containing nicarbazin, zoalene, amprolium, clopidol, decoquinate, robenidine and diclazuril. EW Nutrition—an agribusiness company that creates solutions that bring reliable benefits with reduced need for antibiotics, especially in feed—has developed non-ionophores for animal feed. Owing to all these factors, livestock farmers concerned about using antibiotics in animal feed can opt for non-ionophore anticoccidials. Therefore, the introduction of non-ionophore in animal feed is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the feed anticoccidials market during the forecast period.

Feed Anticoccidials Market Report Segmentation Analysis
