1. Feed additives refer to various trace substances added to animal feed, aimed at improving the nutritional value of feed, promoting animal growth, preventing and treating diseases, and increasing feed utilization. These additives are divided into two categories: nutritional additives and non nutritional additives.

2. Nutrient additives mainly include amino acids, vitamins, and trace elements, which can supplement the nutrients in feed and ensure that animals receive balanced nutrition. Non nutritional additives, such as antibiotics and hormones, mainly stimulate animal growth, improve feed utilization efficiency, and improve animal health.

In addition, there are some specific additives, such as insect repellents, antioxidants, and Chinese herbal health promoting feed additives.

3. The production of feed additives involves multiple links such as raw material procurement, mixing, formula adjustment, fermentation, crushing, packaging, inspection, and quality control. Each step needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the quality and safety of additives.

4. The global feed additive market continues to grow in size, with amino acids and antibiotics being the main components of the market. This is mainly due to the increasing demand for animal products due to population growth, as well as the increasing attention of modern animal husbandry to animal health and sterile production.

Although feed additives play an important role in animal husbandry, their use also needs to follow certain norms and restrictions. Excessive or inappropriate use may have negative impacts on animal health and the environment. Therefore, when using feed additives, relevant laws and regulations should be followed to ensure their safe and effective service for animal husbandry.
