Market Overview:

The global silage additives market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of XX% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Silage additives refer to the chemical compounds utilized for improving silage quality and controlling the preservation process of the fermented forage used in livestock feed. They also aid in increase the nutritional content and improving overall silage hygiene. Some commonly used silage additives include organic acids, enzymes, sugars, absorbents, mineral acids and bacterial inoculants, such as homofermentative, heterofermentative and combination products. These stimulants enhance the production of lactic acid and reduce oxygen levels to stabilize and preserve the forage. Silage additives also include various inhibitors, such as nonprotein nitrogen (NON) and propionates, to delay the unwanted silage degradation. As a result, they are widely used for crops, such as corn, alfalfa, sorghum, oats, rye, barley, wheat, clove and forage grasses.

Silage Additives Market Trends:

The increasing awareness regarding animal nutrition among the masses is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Silage additives increase nutrient recovery of the feed to improve animal health and wellbeing and minimize the risks of heating leading to the development of mold in the feed during storage. High-quality silage additives also aid in promoting feed intake and enhancing animal yield. Moreover, the widespread adoption of silage as a substitute for fresh fodder or hay is providing a thrust to the market growth. In line with this, the rising emphasis on environmental safety and sustainability is also contributing to the growth of the market. Product manufacturers are developing innovative silage additive blends of buffered formic acid and propionic acid, which are environment friendly organic acids with minimal irritant and corrosive properties. Other factors, including the increasing demand for premium quality animal protein among the consumers, along with extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
