China Compound Feed Market Size consists of complements of animal feed, that is, nutritionally balanced formulations made up of combinations of grain, protein, vitamin, and mineral ingredients designed to help maintain and enhance the growth and health of poultry, livestock, aquaculture and other farmed animals. Compounded animal feeds represent an important upstream sector of the larger livestock and aquaculture sectors by taking raw materials from the agricultural sector to produce efficient animal production systems. China's compound feed industry has a similar role to play within China's agricultural economy as a key supplier of feed products used to feed livestock both in China and worldwide. Additionally, China is currently one of the largest producers and consumers of animal feed globally.

The Compound Feeds in China are backed by government support, including the long-term strategy of China to modernize agriculture and achieve food security by 2035. The strategy focuses on self-sufficiency and stability of food supply through increased investment into improvements in agricultural productivity, by promoting modern feed formulation, efficient farming systems, and the application of biotechnologies in agriculture. In 2023, China's total industrial feed output reached more than 315 million metric tons; thus, highlights the large scale of this type of output as well as its ability to support both livestock production and food security.

As technology advances, Chinese Compound Feed providers are now using automated feed-manufacturing processes along with the creation of precise nutritional formulations levelled according to species and growth stages, as well as exploring alternative proteins which may include using insects or fermentation as an alternative source for protein and improve feed efficiency; while reducing the overall cost of feed and providing an improved nutrient profile, creating a sustainable and competitive advantage in the marketplace.
