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.

Over 34% of worldwide sales in 2021 came from North America, making it the dominant region globally. The region's market is predicted to grow in the coming years due to increasing meat consumption, particularly in the US, and strict rules on meat quality. In addition, the region's extensive and simple supply of raw materials including maize and dextrose is anticipated to boost market expansion. The Asia Pacific is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Due to their large populations and increasing demand for meat, emerging economies like China and India have seen a sharp increase in their cattle stockpiles over the past decade. Cattle feed prices have been increasing as a result of this trend.
