Swine feed market

Swine feeds typically contain cereal grains, which are high in energy but low in fiber. Corn is the most common grain used in swine rations, but other grains are often used as base ingredients. Although corn is an excellent source of energy, soybean meal is often the only supplemental protein source in a swine's diet. The most common sources of carbohydrates in swine feed are starch, sugars, and fats. Carbohydrates are macromolecules with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and can be classified into starch, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Starch, as well as some oligosaccharides, are broken down by pancreatic enzymes in the small intestine. Some oligosaccharides, on the other hand, cannot be broken down by pancreatic enzymes, and mucosal enzymes in the small intestine do.

Market Drivers:

Increasing demand for high-value animal protein is driving growth of the swine feed market. Growing population, increasing disposable income, and rapid urbanization are some of the key factors augmenting demand for high-value animal protein. According to Food and Agriculture Organization, the production quantity of pig meat rose sharply from 119 million metric ton in 2017 to 120 million metric ton in 2018, while the number of pigs slaughtered also rise from 1,486.6 million to 1,489.1 million heads, to meet the rising demand for swine meat.

Growing industrialization of livestock production is another key driving factor propelling growth of the swine feed market. According to Food and Agriculture Organization, the swine population was 968.04 million in 2017, and it increased to 978.33 million in 2018, which shows that the production of pig has been increasing. Even though the livestock population has faced various challenges in the forms of disease outbreaks such as swine fever in 2019 which reduced the swine population, it is anticipated to again increase.
