Global Cattle Feed Market size was valued at USD 91.7 billion in 2024 and is poised to grow from USD 94.91 billion in 2025 to USD 124.98 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period (2026-2033).
Globally, the market has benefited from the industrialisation of cattle products including meat and dairy products as well as the rising population. The main factor driving market expansion is the rise in consumer knowledge of the nutritional value of food as well as the safety of meat and milk products. Young ruminants and mature ruminants are two categories of cattle. Amino acids, vitamins, feed acidifiers, antibiotics, feed enzymes, antioxidants, and other supplements are used depending on the age of these ruminants. Products containing vitamin A and minerals, such as Availa-4 and 20-10 Plus Mineral, are frequently used to boost cattle's immune system, reproductive ability, and vision as well as to fill nutritional gaps.
Given that China is a significant producer of raw materials in the area, the creation of Covid-19 in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, has had an adverse effect on the supply-demand of ingredients and additives. In addition, it was unable to get essential materials, such as soybean meal, to the cattle farms because of travel restrictions to and from the nation. Chinese firms are still having trouble exporting their goods, despite the country's lifting of the restriction on the movement of necessities. China manufactures the vast bulk of the world's supply of substances, such as Vitamin B & D, lysine, and threonine. Due to slowed exports and shipping interruptions, major goods consumers in North America and Europe have suffered the most throughout the pandemic. As a result of the resulting supply chain constraints, prices also increased. However, it is predicted that fewer limitations on globally critical resources will increase product demand.
US Cattle Feed Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

In 2021, the most used ingredient in the cattle feed industry was corn which accounted for more than 26% of the cattle feed formulation and usage globally. Major grain producers like Cargill, Inc. and BASF SE are integrated along the supply chain to offer feed ingredients and use maize as the major source of energy in cattle feed, create a one-stop shop for manufacturers, and cut down on sourcing and logistical expenses. Alltech and others are some of the few enterprises that are fully backward integrated, meaning they produce both raw materials such as cereal grains and cattle feeds. Which increases the demand for maize and drives the cattle feed market.
The dairy feed segment accounted for the major share in the global cattle feed market with more than 60% of the cattle feed market share. Increasing competition and manufacturers providing innovative feed formulations for better milk yield and maintenance of health for proper heat cycles are the major reasons for this dominance. Some of the major problems in dairy cattle are infertility and late puberty in heifers which could be solved by the use of compound cattle feed for various groups of dairy cattle. These all are increasing the demand for compound cattle feed in the market and will drive the cattle feed market growth during the analysis period.

Concerns over meat quality and safety have increased in response to rising public knowledge of livestock diseases. This has led to a greater emphasis on using high-quality feed ingredients. These have created a demand for cattle feed and are driving the global cattle feed market. Partnerships and mergers and acquisitions among market participants have increased dramatically in recent years, helping businesses expand their brand offerings, enter new regional markets, and reap other benefits that are expected to increase product demand.
Amino acids like lysine, methionine, and cysteine are widely employed in the animal feed additive industry. In animals, lysine serves as a fundamental component of proteins. Since animals can't make enough of this amino acid on their own, it must be obtained through food or supplements. Methionine is a powerful antioxidant and necessary amino acid that plays a crucial role in the liver and detoxification processes of all animals. And it helps keep cattle nails and skin healthy, too. Over the projection period, the amino acid is expected to see considerable demand from the cattle feed industry as a feed additive.
