Market Highlights

Medicated feed is a mixture of animal feed and veterinary premixes, which are medicinal products containing one or more active substances. Animal feed containing drugs is manufactured and labeled in accordance with regulations set by regional authorities worldwide. Medicated feed in animal diet can be preventive or curative and helps in the treatment of farm animals in a stress-free and safe manner.  

Based on type, the global medicated feed market has been segmented into antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics, amino acids, and others. The amino acids segment accounted for the maximum market share in 2017 as amino acids in animal diet improve the efficiency of nutrient use and promote growth, development, reproduction, lactation, and well-being in animals. The probiotics segment is expected to grow at a rapid rate during the forecast period as probiotics in animals offer improvement in growth, reduction in mortality, and enhanced feed conversion efficiency.

The global medicated feed market has been segregated, by form, into mash, pellets, crumbled, and others. The mash segment is expected to dominate the global medicated feed market during the assessment period. Mash quality is assessed by the size and uniformity of its particles. Mashed feed in animal diets helps in better digestion. The crumbled segment is projected to record the highest CAGR since crumbled feed is convenient to consume for young animals such as calves and lambs.

The global market for medicated feed has also been classified, by livestock, as ruminants, swine, aquaculture, poultry, and others. The poultry segment is expected to generate the maximum revenue during the review period due to the high demand for poultry and increasing prevalence of coccidiosis disease affecting chicken and other fowl. The ruminant segment is expected to grow rapidly due to the rising population of ruminants such as cows, goats, and sheep. The increasing demand for quality dairy products is fueling the demand for medicated feed to enhance the productivity of animals and combat diseases.
