Feed Testing Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Type (Pathogen Testing, Nutritional Labeling Analysis, Mycotoxin Testing, Fats & Oils Analysis, Crop Chemicals Analysis, and Others), By Feed Type (Ruminant Feed, Poultry Feed, Swine Feed, Aquaculture Feed, and Pet Food) And Region

Feed testing market size was valued at US$ 2.3 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 7.3% from 2024-2030. Several disorders, including bovine spongiform encephalopathy, have been brought on by consuming tainted feed. Feed contamination can result from contaminated raw materials, contact with contaminated water, carelessness during handling, and ineffective processing of the ingredients during manufacturing and packaging. Pathogens, poisons, genetically engineered goods, pesticides, and other pollutants like allergies and chemical residues have polluted feed products. Feed testing has become a crucial component of the livestock and meat-growing industries due to the strict rules of regulatory bodies on the quality of dairy and meat products worldwide. A large portion of an animal's health, including the quality of its meat, depends on its diet. Farmers of poultry, swine, aquaculture, and other meat animals are concentrating on feed testing procedures.

Furthermore, the market has been driven by the increase in high-quality animal feed demand and the growing operating costs of feed production. In addition, the market is growing due to concerns about animal health and safety among farmers, livestock producers, and government organizations due to substantial outbreaks of animal diseases.

Additionally, as the population grows, the demand for meat products increasing gradually, which fuels the need for animal feed and, consequently, for feed testing. For feed producers, contamination is another problem that needs to be handled. Improper handling, tainted feed ingredients, tainted water, and insufficient material treatment/processing are the causes of feed contamination. Thus, the ability of feed testing to remove contaminants from livestock feed attracted interest. The market is predicted to grow at significant CAGR due to the increasing relevance of feed testing to prevent various infections and disorders over the forecast period. Compulsory feed safety and quality testing, the emergence of tailored services as cost- and time-effective solutions, and feed production operating costs are further drivers driving the market.
