Knowing that, there are challenges being faced in the form of regulatory requirements and sustainability targets. Furthermore, the U.S. remains dominant in consumption due to the mass production of livestock, while dry additives are the most widely used due to the ease of storage and mixing.
The North American market for supplements that are used in livestock feed is driven and influenced by the rising consumption of high-quality meat, milk, and eggs. The integration of technology and nutrition-based farming methods into traditional livestock raising has brought about a need for use of probiotics, vitamins, and amino acids as feed supplements.
To further comply with legal and environmental matters, animal feed manufacturers are now more than ever focused on developing sustainable and safe practices as the North American regulations regarding proper livestock production are stricter. Although the U.S. possesses a large market share due to its wide range of poultry and livestock production resources, Canada is witnessing a more gradual increase in demand due to its nutrition markets.
Feed supplements in North America service different kinds of livestock which includes poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquaculture. This region has also developed beneficial technologies for enzyme and probiotic formulations, which optimize feed usage & reduce the chances of the need for antibiotics. The rising consciousness about sustainable and antibiotic-free meat has led to the formation of partners such as Cargill, DSM, and ADM which translated their awareness into manufacturing resources which attune consumer needs; even though the market for American animal needs has the potential for growth, it still fluctuated with the constant change in regulations.

Feed additives are vital to commercial poultry production because they are helpful in improving growth rates, feed conversion efficiency, and general immune health in both broilers and layers. In addition, the potential production cycle of poultry compared to other livestock justifies the use of many supplements like vitamins, amino acids, and even enzymes to optimize the output. The increasing consumption of processed poultry food is a major contributor to that trend, as well as a continued demand for “green” feed alternatives, which are also economical. Moreover, these additives help poultry farmers comply with food safety standards and nutritional standards required by various formal authorities.
Due to the US livestock consumption of a combination of meat, eggs and dairy animal feed demand increases, Furthermore, the US animal feed additives market is reported to be at an estimated $5.9 billion in 2024.
