Currently, meat and poultry consumption in the United States exceeds 100 billion pounds annually.

The growth of livestock farming is expected to propel the expansion of the nutritional feed additives market in the coming years. This increase in livestock farming is largely driven by the rising global population and the growing demand for animal-based products. Nutritional feed additives are dietary supplements used in livestock farming to improve animal health, growth, and productivity by providing essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. For example, in May 2024, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that livestock production in 2023 is forecasted to reach 103.66 million metric tons, a 2% increase from 102.09 million metric tons in 2022.
