India currently represents one of the largest feed producers in the world. Animal feed includes various raw, processed and semi-processed products that are fed to livestock. Some of the most common feeds include pasture grasses, cereal grains, hay and silage crops, and other by-products of food crops, such as brewers’ grains, pineapple bran and sugar beet pulp. These products are carefully formulated with the help of nutritional additives, like vitamins and minerals, to maintain the overall health of animals and improve the quality of various end-products, including eggs, meat and milk. In this country, there has been a rise in public concern regarding the safety of animal-origin food products due to the prevalence of food-borne bacterial infections, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and dioxin contamination. These concerns have prompted regulatory organizations to inspect and improve feeding practices in the country.

Indian Animal Feed Market Trends:

Recently, it was noted that raw materials used in the production of animal feed, like soybean meal, sorghum and maize, are being diverted for the consumption of humans, leading to a shortage in the feed industry. Furthermore, the expensive nature, and price and supply volatility of these raw materials is encouraging industry players to switch to sustainable and lower-cost ingredients for livestock production. Some of these novel ingredients include insect meal and Distiller’s dried grain with solubles (DDGS). Besides this, currently has a separate set of livestock policies that focus on increasing the overall productivity. Some of the schemes that are acting in favor of the animal feed market include E-Pashu Haat, Livestock Insurance Scheme, Rashtriya Gokul Mission, and National Livestock Mission.

The growing demand for high-quality animal-origin food products in India is driving a shift toward nutritionally advanced and scientifically formulated feed solutions. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety, traceability, and nutritional content of meat, dairy, and eggs, prompting livestock producers to adopt premium feed formulations enriched with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and probiotics. Additionally, there is rising interest in species-specific feeds tailored to different growth stages, which further improves animal performance and ensures optimal nutrient utilization and contributes to the animal feed market size in India. These fortified feed products help improve animal health, reproductive efficiency, and feed conversion ratios, leading to better yields and profitability. This shift is particularly noticeable in the poultry and dairy sectors, where productivity and quality are closely linked to feed quality. Feed manufacturers are innovating to meet this evolving demand, launching diversified product lines suited to regional dietary preferences and livestock practices. This trend is expected to gain momentum as food safety regulations continue to tighten nationwide.

Technological advancements are also emerging as a key trend shaping the animal feed industry in India. Automation in feed production, through technologies like real-time batching, mixing, and ingredient tracking, is enabling better consistency, cost-efficiency, and quality control. Precision feeding systems are being deployed to customize feed intake based on individual animal requirements, reducing waste and enhancing overall productivity. Mobile apps and digital platforms are increasingly used by feed manufacturers and suppliers for inventory management, distribution tracking, and customer engagement, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. Additionally, data-driven decision-making tools are helping farmers monitor animal health, feed intake, and performance metrics more accurately. These innovations are not limited to large commercial farms; small and medium-scale livestock producers are also beginning to adopt affordable tech solutions to remain competitive. Government initiatives promoting digital agriculture and livestock traceability are further accelerating this shift. As feed manufacturers modernize their operations and farmers seek greater efficiency, digital transformation is likely to become integral to the sector’s long-term growth.
