“Increasing Focus on Animal Health and Nutrition”
- A significant and accelerating trend in the plasma feed market is the growing emphasis on enhancing animal health, immunity, and performance through functional feed ingredients such as plasma proteins, which offer high digestibility and bioactive components that support gut integrity and disease resistance
- For instance, several feed producers are incorporating spray-dried plasma in starter diets for piglets to reduce post-weaning stress and mortality rates. This trend is also expanding into aquafeed and pet food sectors, where plasma improves feed intake and promotes overall wellness
- Plasma feed’s natural ability to support the immune system is becoming increasingly valuable as producers move away from antibiotic growth promoters. As a result, companies are investing in research and innovation to refine plasma formulations for different species and life stages
- The adoption of plasma feed is further supported by advancements in processing technologies that ensure product safety and bioavailability, enhancing its appeal as a high-performance, natural feed additive
- This trend reflects a broader industry shift toward sustainable and science-backed nutrition strategies, prompting companies such as APC and Sonac to expand their product lines with plasma-based solutions tailored for specific animal needs
- The demand for plasma feed as a natural, multifunctional protein source is growing across swine, aquaculture, and pet food segments, as producers increasingly prioritize animal welfare, growth efficiency, and gut health in feed formulation strategies
