Global Feed Probiotics Market - Growth, Trends And Forecasts 2014-2020
M2 - Mon Mar 02, 8:41AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hfsx2r/global_feed) has announced the addition of the "Global Feed Probiotics market - Growth, Trends And Forecasts (2014-2020)" report to their offering. Probiotics are used majorly as a replacement to antibiotics and growth promoters. Probiotics are defined as living organisms fed to animals in order to promote a healthy balance of the microbial flora in the gut of the host. Probiotics prevent the proliferation of potential disease causing pathogens, such as E.coli and Salmonella. Benefits from probiotics include improved digestion, stimulation of gastro intestinal immunity, and increased resistance to infectious diseases of the gut. Probiotics have been forecasted to grow at an CAGR of 7.5%. Increased demand for quality feed, concerns over animal health and outbreak of diseases in the recent past have stimulated the growth in the market. Ban on antibiotics and the scramble for replacement supplements have also driven the market for probiotics. Probiotics do not provide essential nutrients to the feed and the trails have not shown consistent results to force the scientific and research community to a consensus. These act as restraints for the market but the continual R&D in the field is expected to soon come up with satisfactory results. Asia Pacific is the largest and the fastest growing market for Probiotics, with poultry feed accounting for the biggest market share segment wise. Alongside huge markets like Europe, North & South America, markets like Middle East and Africa have also shown very promising growth trends globally. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction 2.
