Silage is a fermented product used as feed for bovine animals. Silage helps to preserve the original nutrients in the animal feed crop. To increase the nutritional value and improve silage hygiene, silage additives are added to the forage. Silage ensures improved meat quality and a variety of other animal products. For animal nutrition, silage additives are important as they are means to improve the quality of the silage and control the process of preservation. The silage additives market is being fuelled by increased focus on enhancing feed utilization and improvising animal health.
In terms of type, it is possible to classify the silage additives market into bacterial inoculants, non-protein nitrogen, minerals, organic acids, sugars, enzymes, nutrients and other additives. Because of their ability to improve the fermentation phase and increase the nutritional value of the forage, inoculants are widely used as additives among these types. Bacterial inoculants inoculate the forage with desirable types of bacteria producing lactic acids, catalyzing the process of fermentation that produces lactic acid as the primary end product.
North America is a major silage additive market. Rising demand for animal proteins in North America is expected to provide the region’s silage additives market with attractive growth opportunities. Increasing government focus on reducing feed costs and boosting animal productivity is driving the market for silage additives in developed regions like North America and Europe. In extremely wet silages produced in northern Europe, where drying conditions are often poor, silage inhibitors, a type of silage additive, are frequently used. Germany, the United Kingdom and France are some of the major silage additive importers.
