Lockdowns in big ports and cities have been imposed by the worldwide COVID-19 epidemic. It has also caused temporary closures of manufacturing facilities and business centers. As such, it raised the cost of liquid feed as well as of its basic components. But since liquid feed is a basic good for animal diets, demand for it is steady during the COVID-19 epidemic. Considered basic categories throughout the COVID-19 epidemic are food and feed.

The easing on import and export of necessary goods as well as transportation should help to support the liquid feed supply on the market. Furthermore, increased consumer health issues resulting from rising COVID-19 cases should drive demand for meat-based and animal related products to grow. Rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and necessary lipids, these goods help to preserve excellent health. It is expected that the constant increase in the cost of raw materials for liquid cattle feed will limit the demand for the product over the projection period.

Main constituents for liquid feeds derived from other sectors are whey, corn steepwater, condensed brewers soluble, condensed molasses fermentation soluble, lignin sulfonate and maize or milo distillers soluble. These byproducts can be efficiently included into liquid feed production and are derived rather more cheaply from other sectors. Technological development and product innovation could help to solve cost problems so verifying product viability and variability.

Molasses based liquid feed market accounted for the largest share and exceeded USD 21.05 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to show a CAGR over 5.5% over the coming years. Molasses is highly effective in raising herd milk yields of dairy cows on simple low-cost silage and cake system with minimum cost in terms of investment. Additionally, the high palatability of molasses feeds makes them an ideal supplement for animal feed and helps enhance the nutritive value of feed.

Furthermore, molasses is one of the cheapest and low-cost energy supplements offered for cattle especially in areas near sugar mills. Fortified molasses can address protein deficiencies, while also supplying an energy supplement when properly mixed with urea, and with or without protein meal, Molasses is suitable for inclusion in the diets of all ruminant livestock and offer cost effective way to increase the palatability of feed and contribute towards good levels of energy and protein.

Liquid feed market demand from ruminant livestock is expected to surpass USD 52.5 billion 2027. Liquid feeding has many advantages such as it can be easily digested and ideal ingredients that can be added to products such as cereal and maize feed of ruminants. In addition, it is believed that liquid feed supplements help enhance the nutrient value in ruminants. For instance, urea as an indirect source of protein in admixture with nutrients such as molasses, various sugars, alone or in combination with inert carriers.

Moreover, ruminants play an important role in sustainable agriculture. The land that is unsuitable for farming becomes more productive in nature with ruminants. Therefore, the farmers are more concern towards the diet of ruminates, where liquid feed supplements are given to ruminants to enhance their digestive health, enhance immunity and maintain the good health.
