“Increasing Use in Animal Feed”
- The soy protein concentrate market is expanding rapidly as manufacturers and livestock producers recognize its value as a high-protein, cost-effective ingredient in animal feed, particularly for poultry, swine, and aquaculture sectors
- For instance, major companies such as Bunge have strengthened their position by acquiring specialized soy protein concentrate manufacturers such as CJ Selecta, enabling them to offer tailored feed solutions and support the increasing demand for sustainable, protein-rich livestock nutrition
- The adoption of soy protein concentrate in animal feed is driven by its superior amino acid profile, digestibility, and ability to enhance growth rates and feed efficiency, making it highly attractive for large-scale commercial farms
- Rising concerns about antibiotic use and the need for optimized animal health are prompting feed formulators to incorporate soy protein concentrate as a functional ingredient to improve gut health and immune response in livestock
- Technological advancements in processing are leading to the development of non-GMO, low-oligosaccharide, and highly digestible soy protein concentrates designed specifically for the feed industry, broadening the appeal to producers with varied needs
- Sustainable sourcing, lower environmental footprint compared to animal-based protein feed, and heightened focus on food chain transparency are further fueling its increasing adoption in the global feed industry
