(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, March 14, 2017 ) The Global Feed Phytogenics Market was worth $0.51 billion in 2016 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 6.35%, to reach $0.69 billion by 2021. The global feed phytogenics market is growing at a substantial rate due to the progress in the animal feed industry.
Phytogenic feed Ingredients such as essential oils, oleoresins, and herbs & species are utilized in animal food. These additives enhance nutrition to livestock such as swine, cattle & broiler which are mainly used for meat intake as a source of protein. These products are also known to have antiviral, antifungal, and antimicrobial characteristics.
The growth of the global Feed Phytogenics market is majorly driven by factors such as increasing reliability on natural growth promoters, rise in per-capita meat intake, and ban of in-feed antibiotics by the EU. However, lack of efficacy of these compounds due to their intricate nature and volatile nature of essential oils are the main factors hindering the growth of the market.
The Global Feed Phytogenics market is segmented based on Ingredients, Animal Type, and Application. The market for Feed Phytogenics, on the basis of Ingredients, is classified into Essential oils, Oleoresins, Herbs and Species, and others. Essential oils lead the global Feed Phytogenics market and are also projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
