Animal
nutrition is concerned with the dietary requirements of animals used in food
production and agriculture, as well as aquariums, zoos, and wildlife
management. Animal nutrition is critical for agricultural animals' production
and health. Various organisations and programmes, such as the National Animal
Nutrition Program (NANP), help identify high-priority animal nutrition issues.
These organisations provide a holistic and integrated strategy to assembling,
collecting, sharing, synthesising, and disseminating science-based information
and teaching materials on animal nutrition, with the goal of increasing
high-priority research among agricultural species. Several governments are
putting in place mechanisms that recast the responsibilities of industry and
government in providing safe animal nutrition. A Code of Practice on Good
Animal Feeding was established by the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission in
2004. The manual provides comprehensive and up-to-date information as well as
practical instructions to assist producers and stakeholders in understanding
the production and distribution chain and adhering to the legal framework.
Animal Nutrition Market Dynamics
Growing
demand for safe and nutritious animal feed, restrictions on the use of
antibiotics, and increased producer awareness of animal health are all
propelling the animal
nutrition market forward. In order to give improved nutrition to
animals, global demand for animal-derived foods such as eggs, fish, milk, and
meat is also expanding. Global demand for animal-derived protein is expected to
treble by 2050, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. Increased
consumption of animal products and livestock contributes significantly to
millions of people's nutritional and economic well-being around the world. The
livestock sector has been under increasing pressure to supply rising demand for
high-value animal protein. Because of improvements in infrastructure, such as
cold chains, which facilitate trading in fresh items, urbanisation is a major
driving element sustaining demand for animal products. According to the Food
and Agriculture Organization, city dwellers have a diversified diet rich in
animal fats and proteins, with higher intake of chicken, meat, milk, and other
dairy products than rural dwellers.
