Probiotics are products that contain living microorganisms—bacteria and/or yeasts. Use of probiotics in animal feeds has been shown to benefit digestion,animal performance and the immune system.
The world’s population is expected to reach more than 9 billion by 2050, imposing food
security challenges particularly for developing countries. Moreover, economic growth has
increased the demand for livestock products putting pressure on the livestock sector to
produce more with limited resources. Nevertheless, the livestock sector is one of the fastest
growing agricultural sectors contributing about 40 percent of the global value of agricultural
production (Bruinsma, 2003), supporting the livelihoods and food security of almost 1.3 billion
people. This expansion poses issues regarding: the most efficient use of resources to produce
food for humans; effects of land conversion and more intensified use on conservation of
environmental services and biodiversity; effects of ruminant methane production on climate
change; and effects of climate change-induced temperature rise on animal production.
The dry form of probiotics in animal feed accounted for the largest market share in 2017. Dry probiotics help in enhancing the shelf life of feed products, resulting in lower storage costs for feed manufacturers, thus increasing the demand for dry probiotics in animal feed.
Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share for probiotics in animal feed in 2017, owing to a large livestock base, high meat consumption, and increasing consumer awareness about the positive impact of probiotics on animal health. Major countries contributing significantly toward the growth of the Asia-Pacific region include China, India, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
