Medical Feed Additives Market Definition
Medical feed additives refer to substances added to animal feed to promote health, prevent diseases, and improve the overall productivity of livestock. These additives enhance growth rates, boost immune function, improve digestion, and ensure proper nutrient absorption in animals. They are used in the agriculture and animal husbandry sectors to maintain animal health, increase feed efficiency, and prevent the spread of infections. Regulatory bodies oversee their use to ensure safety and avoid antibiotic resistance in animals and humans.
The main types of medical feed additives are antioxidants, antibiotics, probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, and amino acids. The antioxidants refer to the feed additives that are fed to the animals for nutrition. The different mixtures include supplements, concentrates, premixed feeds, and base mixes. The various classes include typing a, type b, and type c. These are used by different livestock, such as ruminants, poultry, swine, and aquaculture.
