According to type, poultry accounts for a leading share, of 24.7% in 2023 in the market for animal feed preservatives, because of the high level of demand for poultry products worldwide and the focus on maximizing feed efficiency and health in poultry rearing. Swine and cattle segments also exercise significant market shares, because of growing consumption of pork and beef, respectively, and the desire to enhance feed quality to improve animal growth and production.

Aquaculture is experiencing a consistent increase in industry share due to increasing demand for seafood and the requirement for specialized feed formulations to sustain aquatic animals' nutritional needs. Pet food, with the increasing pet population and awareness of pet health, has experienced a notable boost in demand for high-quality and safe feed preservatives. Equine feed preservatives form a smaller but significant segment because the nutritional requirements of horses are somewhat different. The 'Others' segment covers different types of animals like sheep, goats, and exotic animals.

When it comes to animal feed preservation, liquids are the undisputed king, commanding almost half (44.7%) of the market share in 2023. Why? Because it's a cinch to apply and blend with feed. And besides, they're easily spread out evenly, so they're ideal for mass feed production. That's why they're the best option for liquid feeds and where you want the preservative evenly distributed. Then again, dry preservatives have some positives themselves. They have longer shelf life, are simpler to handle, and can be added to pelleted or extruded feed. They're particularly favored when moisture management is critical or when you're producing specialty feeds. Whether to use liquid or dry preservatives is a matter of what you're producing, how you're producing it, and how you're going to apply the preservative. But regardless of what your requirements are, there is a preservative form that is appropriate for you.

Functionally, antioxidants, which constitute a notable animal feed preservatives market share of approximately 34.7% in 2023, are pivotal in inhibiting oxidation and feed ingredient degradation. Antimicrobials, which also command a considerable share, assist in preventing microbial gains, lowering the risk of contamination, and maintaining feed quality. In addition, binders of mycotoxins, albeit smaller in size, are increasing in popularity with the growing awareness of mycotoxin contamination of feed ingredients. These binders work by adsorbing mycotoxins and lessening their adverse impacts on animals.
