"Greater risk of diseases in livestock"
Livestock diseases such as avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease, and swine diarrhea have resulted in tremendous economic losses, low animal productivity, and threats to public health. Regions like Africa, Asia, and parts of South America frequently experience outbreaks, making disease control expensive and crucial for these areas. Farmers are adopting improved biosecurity measures, vaccination, and nutritional strategies to combat these diseases. Precursors of feed phosphates and MCPs supply essential nutrients, optimizing animal health, enhancing immunity, and reducing disease risks. Increased awareness toward animal health management, accompanied by stricter regulations, is driving the demand for feed phosphates.
"Granular feed phosphates are the second-fastest growing segment, by form."
Considering the advantages of nutrient utilization in livestock nutrition, particularly regarding feed handling and quality, granular feed phosphates provide a significant benefit. It is well known that these phosphate feed supplements generate far less dust than powdered forms, making them easier to handle during feed manufacture, transportation, and farm use. Reduced dust leads to a better working environment for farmers and feed millers, which, in turn, lowers the risk of respiratory issues and contamination. Furthermore, because granular feed phosphates tend to mix uniformly with other feed ingredients, they ensure consistent phosphorus distribution in the finished feed. Improved flowability and storage capacity certainly make their application process more efficient, making them more favored by modern livestock and poultry sectors.
"Tricalcium phosphate holds the second-largest share, by type, in the feed phosphate market."
Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) is one of the most important and valued ingredients for nutritional purposes and functional benefits. Animal physiology utilizes TCP for bone development, immune support, and energy regulation. TCP supplies bioavailable phosphorus and calcium, thereby positively impacting metabolic activities and significantly enhancing skeletal growth and overall animal resistance to diseases. Tricalcium phosphate is a crucial component among feed phosphates due to its high incorporation rates in feed formulations for poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture. This mineral ensures the proper mineral balance and improves feed efficiency, weight gain, and livestock productivity. In addition to these benefits, TCP, being a low-dust, stable granule, mixes easily with other feed ingredients, facilitating convenient feed handling and consistency in commercial livestock operations.
Asia Pacific holds the largest market share in the global feed phosphate market.
The Asia Pacific region holds the largest share of the global feed phosphate market, primarily driven by the rapidly growing livestock and aquaculture industries competing for the consumption of meat, dairy, and seafood among ever-growing populations with increasing disposable incomes and changing dietary preferences. Countries like China and India are intensifying animal farming practices that create demand for high-quality feed additives, such as phosphates, to enhance growth, bone development, and overall productivity. Nutrition technologies and government initiatives associated with safe, sustainable, and efficient animal farming play a crucial role in propelling the market. Regulatory oversight in the region is conducted by various bodies, including China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA), the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Australia, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) of Japan, to ensure the safety, quality, and compliance of feed additives, including phosphates.
