Netherlands Animal Feed Market Growth

3.5 million tons of wasted food is processed into animal feed across Europe. The establishment of carbon-neutral poultry farms is expected to increase their demand. Processed former food items are nutritional equivalents of grains, and technological advancements are facilitating their conversion into animal feed, thereby driving the market expansion.

Increasing investments in molecular research have led to new discoveries. This is prompting major companies to introduce sustainable feed additive products, which minimise methane emissions in cattle by up to 45% and play a critical role in decarbonising the animal husbandry sector. This is expected to influence the animal feed demand positively in the forecast period.

By undertaking targeted feed processing and using specific enzymes, manufacturers are optimising the protein content of cattle feed to ensure the yield of dairy products remains unchanged. To minimise excessive environmental pollution, major companies are focusing on reducing the nitrogen and phosphorus content of animal feed. This is one of the key market trends.

Alternative sources of non-GMO proteins, such as sunflower meals, peas, and lupins are being explored for their potential to enhance animal health without affecting the feed’s characteristics and the frequency of food intake.
