No results found.The global demand for livestock products is expected to increase by over 60 percent by 2050. FAO estimates present global livestock populations at around 22 billion poultry, 1 billion pigs, 1.6 billion cattle and buffalo, 2 billion sheep and goats. Those populations are needed to satisfy today’s demand for such products, so the livestock sector is under significant pressure to greatly increase the amount of safe, nutritious feed available to animals to provide the products needed in the future. Providing animals with adequate, balanced diets, free of toxins and contaminants is essential to enhancing their productivity and welfare. An adequate, balanced diet is one that meets the nutritional needs of the animal, based on its physiological stage and targeted production level. Good quality feed also increases the incomes of producers, ensures a better quality product and a cleaner, greener environment. -
