The poultry industry in Brazil during the period of 2019-2021 estimated around poultry productions to be around 13.8 million to 14.3 million tonnes as reported by ABPA. With the increase in both livestock and animal productivity, the rate of consuming feed additives was greater.
The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply (MAPA) reported country’s animal feed reached an estimated amount of 81.3 million tonnes in 2020, a growth of 4.1% from the previous years.

The Brazilian Animal Protein Association points out the need for poultry feed in Brazil as a poultry meat producer, estimating a total of 13.8 million tons produced in 2020. This was a growth of 4.2% compared to the previous year. In addition, the Argentinean specialized institution, the National Service for Agrifood Health and Quality predicts a similar boost in demand, as they are anticipating a 15% increase in organic protein production from livestock in 2021. Moreover, Mexico has contributed to the above trends and reported an increase of 7% in the use of probiotics in animal feed between 2019 and 2020.
The increase in meat and milk production in Brazil and Argentina is the 3.8% increase in the manufacture of prepared animal feed in Mexico.

Latin America Animal Feed Additives Market Analysis
Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico are vital countries in regards to the markets because of their extreme capacity in the production and the export of the meat. In addition, there is an emerging trend to raise the health and productivity of livestock which in turn leads to greater applications of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, probiotics and other additives. Further, with the increasing appetite by consumers for natural meat alternatives, the marketing of enhanced artificial products is now being restricted. Regardless of the raw material price instability, the raw material price instability together with the feed technology innovations accompanied by sustainability initiatives offer a lot of growth opportunities.
Latin America animal feed additives market from poultry & egg production segment generated USD 1.2 billion in 2024. This category is well established in the nutrition supplements industry due to the global increase in chicken and egg consumption. Brazil and Mexico are significant poultry producers in the region prompting the increasing demand for poultry feed additives contributing to enhanced growth rate and immunological response of the birds.
With the shift in focus of the poultry sector towards antibiotic free additive technologies, the demand for probiotic, enzyme, and essential oil based additives tend to be in higher demand.

In 2024, amino acids was valued at USD 1.3 billion with a projected CAGR of 5.8% until the year 2034. In the livestock farming and animal industrial sectors, protein additives for feed are among the most essential, and this is due to the fact that amino acids can be used as growth enhancers, feed efficiency boosters, and livestock health sustenance. Lameness in poultry, swine, and cattle diets is given to various types of nutrients to enhance the efficiency of protein use for muscle development and the production of meat from the organism.
Due to a global increase in the demand for meat, the use of lysine, methionine, and threonine for providing high-quality feeds is also on the rise. The combination of the existence of extensive livestock agriculture in the region and the need to bolster productivity creates opportunities for these amino acids in Latin America, particularly in satisfying the growing population and exporting demands for high quality animal products.
Brazil animal feed additive market generated USD 1.1 billion in 2024. This growth metrics supports the country’s position as a key player within the livestock production industry. The growth is driven by Brazil’s increased demand for meat alongside the global market which has increased the usage of amino acids, probiotics, enzymes, and vitamins.
This, paired with Brazil’s strategy towards sustainable agriculture which promotes plant based feeds over the more traditional antibiotic based feeds, strongly supports Brazil on the global stage as it reinforces its position on the livestock sector. As stricter food safety requirements are put in place and the livestock sector continues to grow, Brazil is expected to strengthen its position as a leading agricultural player.
