Probiotics in Animal Feed Market Trends

Probiotics have been shown to improve aerobic conditions in the gastrointestinal environment by depleting oxygen-scavenging molecules like nitrates. Probiotics have demonstrated the ability to release hydrolytic enzymes  against bacterial toxins, as well as the capability to inactivate toxin receptors, restricting the spread of toxin-mediated illnesses in livestock animals. Animal feed is very important in livestock husbandry, and various experiments have been conducted to improve its potency using feed additives.

As per the probiotics in animal feed market analysis, European legislation banned in-feed antibiotics in 2006. Since then, the development of various health-functional animal feeds and fermented food products using probiotics as additives has received significant attention.

Probiotics are live bacteria that, when given in sufficient amounts, provide health advantages to the host. Several Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Lactococcus, and Bifidobacterium species are popular probiotic agents. On a regulatory level, these helpful microbial agents are classed as zootechnical additives. Before being certified for a specific target species, a probiotic candidate must demonstrate at least one performance attribute. Modulation of the host's immune and certain physiological systems, attenuation of virulent markers on a variety of pathogens, treatment and prevention of infectious and inflammatory disease conditions, acting as a biocontrol agent in preventing spoilage, etc. are some of the required features of a candidate probiotic. These trends of the probiotics in animal feed market are going to open up new possibilities for the key players.

Several firms are engaged in R&D and production of probiotics for animals to enhance animal health  and productivity. For example, Provita Protect claims to significantly reduce the incidence of calf scour; it is the only authorised and proven probiotic for calves on the UK and European market.

In 2017, Evonik launched an internally developed probiotic called GutCare in the USA, China, India, and Bangladesh. This product promotes the growth and health of broilers over the long term. GutCare is a direct-fed microbial solution based on a spore-forming Bacillus subtilis DSM 32315 strain with an inherent capacity to produce a variety of secondary metabolites.

Since acquiring the probiotics business of the Spanish company Norel in July 2016, Evonik has been promoting products like Ecobiol in Europe. Ecobiol, a probiotic, is a fast-growing bacteria strain called Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which promotes a gut flora that maintains a balance between useful lactic acid bacteria and undesired potential pathogens such as Salmonella enteritidis.
