Overview of the global animal feed antioxidants market

Antioxidants, commonly referred to as “shelf-life extenders”, extend the shelf-life of feed nutrients in animal feed elements such as vitamins, fats, pigments, and flavoring agents. Thus, animal feed antioxidants serve to provide nutrient security to the animals dependent on the feed. Oxidization of animal feed leads to reduced performance and weakened health of animals. It is therefore essential to keep animal feed from getting oxidized, purpose that is aptly served by animal feed antioxidants.

The globally rising demand for livestock products such as milk, eggs and meat has given to significant demand rise for animal feed antioxidants, along with the primary rise in demand for natural and synthetic animal feed. It is expected that livestock producers on a global front will focus on high use of antioxidants in animal feed to reduce instances of nutrient loss and deteriorated feed quality due to oxidation.

In 2011, the global animal feed antioxidants market was worth approximately US$162.4 million. Growing at a modest CAGR of 4.2% over the next four years, the global animal feed antioxidants market could acquire net worth of nearly US$216.8 million by 2018.

The report classifies animal feed antioxidants on two major categories: natural animal feed antioxidants and synthetic animal feed antioxidants. Natural animal feed antioxidants are formulated from raw material such as corn, rapeseed, and a variety of oilseeds. These raw materials are blended with ingredients such as grains and soybean to match nutrient requirements range laid down by the FDA. Synthetic animal feed antioxidants are made as pure substances of constant composition and then blended in properly defined mixtures with a variety of pure substances.
