Brazil Animal Feed Market Research Report, 2029

Brazil is one of the largest producers and exporters of animal feed in the South America. The country's vast agricultural resources, including ample arable land and favorable climate conditions, contribute to its significant production capacity. Brazil has a diverse range of feed ingredients, thanks to its abundant agricultural production. Common feed ingredients include corn, soybean meal, wheat, sorghum, cottonseed meal, and by-products from the sugarcane and ethanol industries. Brazil's livestock sector is expanding rapidly, driven by domestic consumption and global demand for meat products. The growing demand for meat, poultry, dairy, and aquaculture products fuels the need for high-quality animal feed to support the sector's growth. Poultry feed by livestock type is highest in demand, driven by the demand for poultry meat products by consumers. The rising population further boosts the demand for poultry meat, but the rising feed prices hamper the market's growth. Since poultry meat is the cheapest form of meat available, consumers' consumption is high. Increased demand for organic feed and industrial livestock production further augments the market's growth. Poultry requires a lot of protein, fats, and calcium, which poultry by-products and fish meals provide. Feedis is a Brazilian start-up that specializes in developing precision feeding systems for livestock. Their innovative technologies allow farmers to monitor and optimize the feeding process, leading to improved feed efficiency, reduced waste, and enhanced animal performance. Zootec 3D is a start-up that leverages 3D printing technology to produce customized animal feed pellets. By tailoring the shape, size, and composition of the pellets to specific animal requirements, Zootec 3D aims to enhance feed efficiency, minimize feed waste, and optimize animal nutrition. According to the research report "Brazil Animal Feed Market Research Report, 2029," published by Actual Market Research, the Brazil Animal Feed market is anticipated to grow at more than 3% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. Brazil places increasing importance on sustainable agricultural practices, including in the animal feed sector. Feed manufacturers adopt practices to minimize environmental impact, promote resource efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with feed production. The changing consumer preferences and demands for high-quality, specialized animal products drive the development of specialized feeds in Brazil. Feed manufacturers respond to these demands by developing customized feed formulations, such as organic feeds, allergen-free feeds, and feeds tailored to specific livestock sectors. Aqua feed farming is increasingly being commercialised with its demands, resulting in an increased demand for feed to raise them. Cattle feed remains with more market share as it is the most demanded meat by consumers. Animal supplements are expected to be in demand over the forecast period as the animals are deprived of vitamins and minerals from the feed they are fed. Also, due to low feed quality and to improve their structural body composition, supplements are fed to animals. The pellet form of animal feed is expected to remain the main form of feed, but the crumbled form is also expected to be in demand during future years. Plant-based sources remain the main source of protein for animal feed as they provide a range of benefits for both the animals as well as feed manufacturers. The high prices of animal feed and their raw materials act as a hindrance as farmers do not want to invest a major chunk of their income in feeds.

Animal feed Pellets are made from corn, bean pulp, straw, rice husk, and other cereals and grains for different animals. They have comprehensive nutrition, improve digestibility of feed, decrease picky eaters of animals and are easy to store and transport. The pellets often contain grease as they provide oxidation and hydrolysis. Oxidation helps to convert unsaturated fats into saturated fats when the feed pellets have improper fats as it is easy to hydrolyse. The quality of pellets can be defined by the repeated handling, bagging, transportation, and storage feed lines without much damage or fine particles. However, the pellet quality and efficiency depend on the raw materials used, like corn and soy lack the ability to achieve good pellet quality, while that of wheat increases pellet durability because of high protein content and hemi-cellulose in contrast to corn and soy products. Additionally oats can increase pellet quality if mixed with corn. Cereals by ingredient type are rich in starch content and are highly preferred to feed animals. Every grain or cereal varies in its nutritional content and digestive anatomy of the animal. Starch that is completely digested before the end of the small intestine (SI) provides the maximum amount of glucose from the grain to support growth. Barely, corn, oats, and rye are entirely used as animal feed and only small amounts are used for human consumption. These grains and cereals might be fed in whole or compound form, mixed with other bi-products or oils, minerals or vitamins to form a complete meal for animals. The produced cereals are stored after drying to reduce moisture levels and preserve them for the full year. Since some are seasonal grains, they need to be produced for the whole year and stored to meet the demands. Production is highly influenced by particular crop failures, droughts, or climatic conditions. The feed market is primarily plant-based, with ingredients such as corn, soybeans, and wheat dominating due to their availability and cost-effectiveness. Animal-based feeds, including by-products like meat meal and fish meal, are also used but are less prevalent due to rising concerns over sustainability and food safety. The Brazilian animal feed market is characterized by its diverse livestock categories and sources, significantly influencing the country's agricultural landscape. Cattle Feed is a major segment, driven by Brazil's prominent beef and dairy industries. The country is one of the largest beef exporters globally, with a substantial focus on high-quality forage to support cattle health and productivity. Regions like Mato Grosso and São Paulo are particularly known for extensive cattle ranching, emphasizing the need for nutritious feed. Poultry Feed dominates the market, reflecting Brazil's status as a leading poultry producer and exporter. The favorable climate and vast agricultural resources facilitate large-scale poultry farming, especially in states like São Paulo and Paraná. High-quality, nutritionally balanced feed is essential to meet both domestic and international demands. Pig Feed has also seen growth due to increasing pork consumption and export opportunities. The swine industry benefits from specialized formulations designed to enhance growth rates and overall health. Aqua Feed, while smaller in comparison, is gaining traction as aquaculture grows in importance. Brazil's coastal regions support shrimp and fish farming, necessitating high-quality feed formulations.

However, COVID-19 has caused some problems and changes in the feed industry, like many other industries, and the Brazil feed industry is no exception. It had a negative impact due to disruptions in supply chain activities caused by global trade restrictions. A sharp drop in demand for restaurant meals and an increase in demand for grocery store food, combined with certain challenges in reorienting meat supply networks, resulted in a surge in retail meat prices and occasional grocery store stock-outs of specific meat products. Lower demand for cattle and supplies of beef and pork resulted from the drop in demand.
