Animal Intestinal Health Market Size
The size of the animal intestinal health market was estimated to be US$ 3.2 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% to reach US$ 6.70 billion by 2030.
A healthy diet affects one's health. A healthy diet will aid in disease prevention. Appropriate feed should be provided to animals in order to maintain their intestinal health. Animal intestinal health issues are brought on by eating low-quality food, intestinal damage from chemicals or foreign objects being swallowed, and obstructions from these sources. Animal production performance is dependent on gut health at its best. In the chicken industry, animal intestinal health has gained importance. Because of its nutritional value, animal feed quality matters. By means of antagonism and exclusion, probiotics are used in the poultry industry to help maintain normal intestinal microflora and increase the activity of digestive enzymes. By promoting the growth of the beneficial microflora, probiotics help to increase the productivity of eggs laid by chickens and inhibit the growth of pathogens.
Probiotic-fed hens maintain their health and produce larger, higher-quality eggs. Prebiotics are frequently included in chicken diets in the form of NDO (nondigestible oligosaccharides), IMO (isomaltooligosaccharide), FOS (fructooligosaccharides), GOS (galactooligosaccharides), and MOS (mannan oligosaccharides). Probiotics are supplements containing live organisms used to maintain and enhance the good bacteria or normal flora in the body, while prebiotics are high-fiber foods that function as food in human flora. Phytogenics are extracts derived from plants that are used to help animals or livestock consume feed, gain weight, digest nutrients more easily, increase appetite, absorb nitrogen, and grow ruminal microorganisms.
