Report Code : CVMI170601 | Published Date : June 17, 2025

1 | Market Overview

The global sow feed market features tailored formulations designed to improve reproductive health, increase milk production, and boost overall productivity in breeding sows. In pig farming, sow feed plays a vital role in achieving healthy birth weights for piglets, ensuring optimal weaning performance, and facilitating an efficient return to estrus. This feed is fortified with energy sources, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and is commonly enhanced with additives such as probiotics, enzymes, organic acids, and amino acids.

Increasing global pork demand and the intensification of pig farming have created a pressing need for performance-enhancing and cost-effective sow nutrition strategies. Moreover, disease control, reproductive efficiency, and sow longevity have become central considerations in feed formulation and innovation.
