The herbage not only improves performance and meets ruminant’s' daily needs, but it also protects them from muscular disorders such as laminitis and azoturia. Even without a gallbladder, ruminants require dietary fats to perform well. Ruminants can digest dietary fats, which have nutritional benefits such as increased vitamin absorption, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and so on. The growing demand for comprehensive organic nutrition is driving the demand for herbage market.

• Growing dairy industry and high demand for animal based products

The organic feed industry is rapidly expanding as milk producers begin to replace traditional conventional feed with more nutritionally balanced organic feed, realising the tangible benefits of nutritional feed in terms of yield improvement. Furthermore, population growth and rising living standards, the livestock industry has been forced to adapt and expand in order to meet society's expectations by providing nutritious animal feed to livestock animals. As a result, this factor benefits the growth of the herbage market.
