The rising global production of aquatic animals is expected to drive growth in the organic feed market. Aquatic animals are organisms that live and develop in water during some or all stages of their life cycle. Organic feed is used for these animals to support sustainable and environmentally responsible aquaculture practices, ensuring the production of high-quality, eco-friendly seafood. For example, in June 2023, the Biannual Report on Global Food Markets by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a Canada-based specialized agency, reported that global aquatic animal production grew by 1.2% in 2022 and is projected to increase by an additional 0.6% in 2023. Therefore, the expanding production of aquatic animals worldwide is boosting the organic feed market.

Major companies in the organic feed market are focused on creating innovative feed ingredients, such as chromium propionate, to enhance livestock and poultry diets and maintain a competitive advantage. Chromium propionate is a feed ingredient that contains the essential trace mineral chromium in the form of propionate, which is an organic acid. For instance, in February 2024, Kemin Industries, a U.S.-based manufacturer of nutritional and health solutions, received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for KemTRACE Chromium as a source of chromium in the diets of growing turkeys. This approval establishes KemTRACE Chromium as the only FDA-reviewed source of chromium propionate in the animal nutrition and health market, based on significant research conducted by Kemin Industries. The chromium propionate is an organic and highly bioavailable form of chromium that has been approved for use in the diets of developing turkeys, broiler chickens, swine, cattle, and horses. Millions of animals globally have already benefited from the inclusion of KemTRACE Chromium in their diets.
