Antibiotic Alternatives in Poultry Feed Market Research, Report

Report Code : CVMI270520256 | Published Date : May 27, 2025

The Antibiotic Alternatives in Poultry Feed Market is expanding rapidly as regulatory pressure, consumer demand for antibiotic-free meat, and concerns over antimicrobial resistance reshape poultry nutrition strategies. Producers are increasingly incorporating natural and functional additives such as probiotics, prebiotics, phytogenics, organic acids, and enzymes into feed to support gut health, disease resistance, and performance—without relying on antibiotics. In 2024, the global market is valued at USD 3.2 billion and is projected to reach USD 6.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.6%.

Key Market Drivers

1. Regulatory Bans and Restrictions: The EU, U.S., China, and other key markets have restricted or banned the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs), spurring innovation in alternative feed additives.

2. Rising Consumer Demand for Antibiotic-Free Poultry: Retailers and food service providers are prioritizing supply chains that are antibiotic-free to meet evolving health and sustainability expectations.

3. Poultry Gut Health and Immunity Focus: Alternatives like probiotics, essential oils, and organic acids support intestinal integrity, lower pathogen load, and enhance immunity.

4. Global Disease Pressures and Performance Optimization: Coccidiosis, salmonellosis, and necrotic enteritis fuel interest in feed strategies that prevent subclinical infections and improve feed efficiency.
