Feed Acidifiers Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Feed acidifiers are additives added to feed to promote livestock's gut health by modulating the gut microbiota. Acidifiers used in the preparation of feed have bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties, which aid in maintaining the growth of microbes in the gastrointestinal tract. Animal feed Acidifiers are again the organic acids incorporated with the feed for nutritional or preservative benefits. This acidifier help to control microbial growth, inhibit pathogenic bacteria, reduction of feed buffer capacity, and also improve nutrient digestibility. Acidifiers are also found to enhance congestion and microbiological balance in the alimentary and digestive tracts of livestock. The global feed acidifiers market is driven by significant growth in the livestock feed industry and growing demand for livestock products, including milk, eggs, meat, and wool, amongst others.
