The growing need for improved feed digestibility and nutrient utilization is contributing to driving the feed carbohydrase market globally.  

Market Overview

The Feed Carbohydrase Market Size is the industry emphasizing the production and sale of carbohydrase enzymes used in animal feed to improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Carbohydrase is comprised of a large family of enzymes that break down carbohydrates (starch and dietary fiber), typically used in poultry and swine diets as animal food. The enzyme enhances the nutrient digestibility and reduces anti-nutritional factors in conventional feed ingredients. An introduction to multi-functional carbohydrases, due to the advancements in enzyme engineering, the incorporation of precision nutrition tools, and enzyme supplementation strategies, is offering multifaceted benefits in the livestock sector. Advancements in biotechnology and genetic engineering are creating market growth opportunities for feed carbohydrase. Furthermore, the changing inclination towards antibiotic-free animal farming, with increasing concerns regarding antibiotic resistance and stringent rules for limiting antibiotic usage, is creating new opportunities in the feed carbohydrase market.
