Non-protein nitrogen is rapidly emerging as a beneficial and cost-effective source of dietary protein for animal nutrition among farmers. With rapid urbanization and economic growth, there has been an urgent need for livestock production to cater to the growing consumer base. As per the World Bank, the production of industrialized meat is growing 6 times faster than traditional meat production techniques. Manufacturers are also developing non-protein nitrogen products that can act as a replacement for a portion of the total dietary protein requirements in cattle.

An increase in livestock production will therefore boost the consumption of animal feed protein and in turn, escalate the use of non-protein nitrogen in animal feed formulations. However, stringent regulations associated with the toxicity of animal fodders may hinder industry growth to some extent. In the U.S., for example, strict norms pertaining to animal safety have been introduced, requiring animal feed developers to gain FDA approvals. Furthermore, the rising awareness about greenhouse gas emissions and land and water degradation due to livestock production may limit product usage.
