Animal Intestinal Health Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Animal Intestinal Health Market Driver
The global animal intestinal health market is being driven by the growing awareness among consumers about the benefits of consuming animal protein, such as better bone health, immunity, and reduced protein deficiencies. Companies that offer dietary supplements to farmers have been focusing on improving gut health, which can improve the health of the herd or flock. Professionals, including veterinarians and nutritionists, have also been advising farmers and consumers on reducing farm antibiotic use by creating customized action plans and offering support. For example, the Alltech Antibiotic Reduction program was implemented on a pig farm in the United Kingdom. Due to increased awareness among farmers and animal producers, there has been a rise in demand for animal intestinal health supplements. Therefore, the market for animal intestinal health is expected to grow during the forecast period due to increased awareness.
Significant Animal Intestinal Health Market Trends
Developing natural growth promoters (NGPs) and performance enhancers presents a promising opportunity for market participants. Innovative and safe animal growth promoters and performance enhancers can provide additional opportunities. Antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) and non-antibiotics are the two main types of animal growth promoters. AGPs destroy or inhibit bacteria at low doses, leading to improved growth and performance. However, overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance and residue accumulation in animals, posing a risk to human health. To address this, the EU proposed a ban on AGPs to reduce antibiotic resistance among pathogens in farm animals and lower the risk of transmission to humans through food products. As a result, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period due to a shift towards NGPs like probiotics, prebiotics, and immunostimulants.
Major Animal Intestinal Health Market Challenge
International organizations like the FDA, CVM, WHO, EC, EFSA, APVMA, NHPD, and ANVISA regulate and enforce strict rules on the use of various additives in feed products. These regulations present challenges and increase the overall cost of product development. Major feed manufacturers must submit patent and approval applications to launch new products in different countries, which adds to production costs. Since the ban on antibiotics used as animal growth promoters in the EU and the US, regulations for probiotics in feed products have become more stringent. The feed industry has focused on innovation, particularly in additives. Regulatory bodies like EFSA and FDA are actively researching and identifying sustainable feed additives, posing a challenge for market growth during the forecast period.

Source Analysis
Plant-based meat alternatives are intended to replicate real meat products and are typically made with plant proteins isolated from cereals and legumes, oilseeds such as sunflower and rapeseed, and dietary fiber for texture. Plant-based animal product alternatives are a highly feasible way to reduce animal product consumption because they address the key consumer decision drivers of taste, price, and convenience. Plant-based products are likely to displace demand for animal products rather than other plant foods and are more capable of doing so than whole plant foods alone. The feed industry has the highest demand for plant-based animal intestinal products.
