Animal Feed Testing Service Market Report 2025

The animal feed testing service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.24 billion in 2024 to $1.37 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to scientific research and development, globalization of feed trade, quality assurance demands, focus on nutritional value, industry consolidation and expansion.

The animal feed testing service market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.98 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to globalization and trade expansion, rising demand for safe food, regulatory compliance and stringency, nutritional analysis and labeling requirements, focus on animal welfare. Major trends in the forecast period include increased regulatory compliance, demand for nutritional analysis, quality assurance & traceability, growing awareness of food safety, expansion in livestock production.

The surge in foodborne illnesses is anticipated to drive the expansion of the animal feed testing services market. These illnesses result from consuming contaminated food or beverages, primarily caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The risks posed by these microorganisms underscore the importance of rigorous animal feed testing to ensure food safety. Contaminants in animal feed can swiftly traverse the supply chain, potentially causing harm to livestock herds, prompting product recalls, or raising public health concerns. Moreover, the upsurge in livestock illnesses has further heightened the demand for animal feed testing services. For instance, the World Health Organization reported in May 2022 that globally, an estimated 600 million people fall ill from consuming contaminated food annually, resulting in 420,000 deaths, equating to the loss of 33 million healthy life years and a substantial financial toll of US$110 billion in productivity and medical expenditures, predominantly in low- and middle-income nations. Children under five account for 40% of these foodborne illness cases, resulting in 125,000 fatalities yearly.

The escalating prevalence of zoonotic diseases is set to propel the growth trajectory of the animal feed testing services market. Zoonotic diseases, transmissible between animals and humans, encompass various pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. These illnesses can be curbed through meticulous animal feed testing, ensuring freedom from contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This vigilance helps prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases, safeguarding public health. For instance, as per the Council on Foreign Relations in February 2023, up to 75% of newly discovered or emerging infectious diseases and 60% of recognized infectious diseases have zoonotic origins, causing 2.7 million human fatalities and 2.5 billion episodes of disease worldwide each year. Consequently, the rising prevalence of zoonotic diseases acts as a significant catalyst propelling the growth of the animal feed testing services market.

Major companies in the animal feed testing services market are developing advanced solutions, such as Quality Control (QC), to ensure the safety, consistency, and nutritional value of animal feed products. Quality Control is a process used by businesses to ensure that a product or service meets specific quality and performance standards. For example, in May 2023, JAPFA, an India-based agro-industrial company, launched an Animal Feed and Agri Allied Products Testing Laboratory in Maharashtra and West Bengal, which is accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL), an Indian body that provides accreditation to conformity assessment bodies (laboratories) in India. This laboratory will offer essential testing services to ensure that animal feed products are safe, nutritious, and compliant with regulatory standards, which is vital for supporting livestock health and productivity. The laboratory provides quality control and safety assessments for animal feed by analyzing samples to evaluate their nutritional content, identify contaminants, and assess the overall composition of the feed.

Prominent companies within the animal feed testing services sector are prioritizing innovative solutions, such as establishing cutting-edge feed testing laboratories, to optimize their market profitability. These laboratories are dedicated facilities conducting diverse analyses to ensure animal feed's safety, quality, and nutritional value. For instance, Kalmbach Feeds, a US-based manufacturer specializing in animal feed and custom nutritional products, unveiled Veritas Agrilabs in September 2022. This newly launched full-service feed testing laboratory caters to customers nationwide, focusing on testing various elements of animal feed, including ingredients, finished feed, and forages. Veritas Agrilabs boasts a comprehensive suite of testing services, encompassing NIR spectroscopy, mycotoxin testing, particle size analysis, proximates (protein, fat, fiber, ADF, NDF, and ash), minerals analysis, nitrogen, potash, potassium, and moisture content assessments. The facility plans to augment its testing capabilities further in the future, featuring multiple specialized laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art testing equipment catering to modern laboratory standards.

In October 2022, Si-Ware Systems, a US-based deep science technology company that offers animal feed testing services, partnered with AB Vista. Through this collaboration, Si-Ware Systems aims to provide NeoSpectra, a near-infrared (NIR) analysis platform designed to monitor the nutritional quality of animal feed. This platform allows users to conduct accurate and rapid on-site analyses of animal feed, providing real-time insights into their feeding systems without the need for a cloud connection. AB Vista is a UK-based company specializing in feed additives and animal nutrition technology.
