Introduction of Non-Ionophores in Animal Feed Fuels South & Central America Feed Anticoccidials Market

Ionophores have some degree of antibacterial activity and fit the classical definition of an antibiotic. All ionophores are approved for broiler chicken production, but not all are approved or safe for turkeys. Salinomycin and narasin are quite toxic for turkeys and equines. As ionophores are antibiotics, they should not be used continuously but instead rotated with different anticoccidials. Moreover, there are stringent regulations on using antibiotics in feed as an additive. Thus, manufacturers are developing different anticoccidials that cannot be called antibiotics.

Non-ionophores are compounds produced by chemical synthesis; thus, they fall under the category of chemical anticoccidials. They destroy coccidia by cidal activity or suppress coccidia by static activity. They have no known antibacterial activity; hence, they are not considered as an antibiotic. Non-ionophores are products containing nicarbazin, zoalene, amprolium, clopidol, decoquinate, robenidine and diclazuril. EW Nutrition - an agribusiness company that creates solutions that bring reliable benefits with reduced need for antibiotics, especially in feed - has developed non-ionophores for animal feed. Owing to all these factors, livestock farmers concerned about using antibiotics in animal feed can opt for non-ionophore anticoccidials. Therefore, the introduction of non-ionophore in animal feed is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the feed anticoccidials market during the forecast period.

South & Central America Feed Anticoccidials Market Overview

The Brazil feed anticoccidials market is driven by its massive livestock industry and growing demand for animal protein. The poultry industry in the country heavily relies on anticoccidials to prevent and control coccidiosis.
