North America Butyric Acid for Animal Feed Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Butyric acid for animal feed refers to the use of butyric acid as a feed additive in animal nutrition. Butyric acid, also known as butanoic acid, is a short-chain fatty acid that occurs naturally in various sources such as animal fats and plant oils. It is used in animal feed to promote animal health, improve nutrient absorption, and support digestive function. When added to animal feed, butyric acid acts as an energy source for the cells lining the intestinal tract. It helps maintain the integrity and health of the gut by supporting the growth and proliferation of beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, while inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.

North America Butyric Acid for Animal Feed Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing demand from the animal feed sector

Butyric acid is widely used as an animal feed additive. Butyric acid is essential for animals and is a major component for meeting animal health requirements. Butyric acid products maintain animal health, provide a healthy diet for animals, and help in the productive raising of animals. The growing use of butyric acid in the animal feed sector has increased the rates of animal diseases. Thus, growing demand for butyric acid from the animal feed sector is a significant growth driver.

• Rising incidences of animal diseases

The rising incidences of animal diseases have led to the increased use of butyric acid in animal feed worldwide. Various health hazards are increasing in animals, such as intestinal dysfunction of farm animals, intestinal inflammation and altered gut microbiota, and other serious problems affecting animal welfare and performance. Butyric acid is considered a favorable antibiotic. It maintains gut homeostasis, enhances digestion and absorption, and modulates gut microbiota. The rising incidences of diseases in animals and the increasing use of butyric acid as an antibiotic significantly contributes to the market’s growth.

Opportunities

•  Increasing demand for antibiotic-free livestock products

The demand for antibiotic-free animal products is increasing among customers and due to the ban on antibiotic growth promoter use, the poultry feed industry is highly interested in developing other alternatives to cope with this problem. Butyric acid benefits animal health, performance, and other qualities when used in their diet. Therefore, they can be considered a suitable replacement for antibiotics in animals. The increasing demand for antibiotic-free animal products has increased the demand for butyric acid, significantly driving the market’s growth.

• Increasing demand of meat

Population growth, rising income, improving living standards, and urbanization are the key factors increasing the demand for meat worldwide. The increasing demand for meat has increased the demand for animal food additives. Sodium butyrate is a salt of butyric acid. It is widely used as a major feed additive in many farms worldwide. Sodium butyrate helps the animal to grow while increasing its mass, and it has become a significant feed additive in commercial farming. The increasing demand of meat is increasing the market’s growth.

Restraints/Challenges

• High cost of production of butyric acid

The cost production of butyric acid is high due to tight supply and insufficient demand from the manufacturers and suppliers. The delay in supply and high crude oil prices are major factors increasing the price of butyric acid. Another major factor is high production cost due to limited Russia’s oil and gas imports. The cost of butyric acid in the region rose due to the increasing demand in the pharmaceuticals and animal feed industries. Thus, the high cost of production is the major challenge in the butyric acid market’s growth.

• Corrosive nature of butyric acid

The corrosive nature of butyric acid can be harmful to animals. This becomes a severe concern for the manufacturers, manufacturing innovative butyric acid for animal feed products. The corrosive nature of butyric acid makes it difficult to store and manage. Along with this, the acid losses its properties. So, the manufacturers are focusing on innovative processing techniques for producing innovative products that help endure the restraints of Asia Pacific butyric acid for the animal feed market.
