Animal-based sources have been driving the Australia compound feed market growth due to their rich nutritional content, high digestibility, and palatability.
The Australia compound feed market expansion is driven by the shift towards sustainable animal feeding practices. Animal-based feed sources, including fishmeal, meat and bone meal, and poultry by-products, are rich in essential nutrients such as protein, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients are vital for animal growth, development, and overall health. The high digestibility of animal-based feeds ensures efficient nutrient absorption by animals, leading to improved growth performance and feed conversion ratios.
Many animal-based feed ingredients have a naturally palatable taste and aroma, which makes them attractive to animals. This palatability encourages consistent feed intake, which is essential for maintaining the health and productivity of livestock and poultry.
The incorporation of animal-based feed ingredients in compound feeds has been stimulating the Australia compound feed market growth while offering various performance benefits, including improved growth rates, higher feed efficiency, better reproductive performance, and overall health and well-being of animals.
