Organic feed denotes animal nutrition sourced from natural, pesticide-free elements, excluding synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. This type of feed aims to enhance animal health while aligning with eco-friendly practices.
The primary categories of organic feed encompass cereals and grains, oilseeds, and additional supplements. Cereals and grains, such as wheat, millet, rice, and barley, are chosen due to their high starch content, vital for animal diets. Additives such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, acidifiers, antioxidants, pre and probiotics, as well as flavors and sweeteners, are available in pellet or crumble forms. This feed is tailored for poultry, ruminants, swine, aquatic creatures, and various livestock.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the organic feed market by increasing costs of imported organic grains, oilseeds, additives, and processing equipment used in certified feed production. Europe and North America are most affected due to reliance on cross-border sourcing of organic ingredients, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs for imported organic feed blends. These tariffs are increasing feed prices and affecting farmer margins. However, they are also supporting local organic crop cultivation, regional feed manufacturing, and supply chain resilience within domestic organic agriculture ecosystems.

The organic feed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.61 billion in 2025 to $10.35 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of organic farming practices, rising consumer demand for organic meat and dairy, increased availability of organic raw materials, adoption of organic livestock standards, growth of specialty animal feed producers.
The organic feed market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.46 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on sustainable livestock nutrition, rising demand for antibiotic-free animal products, expansion of organic aquaculture, growing investments in organic feed R&D, increasing adoption of precision feed formulation. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for certified organic animal feed, rising adoption of natural feed additives, expansion of organic poultry and dairy farming, growing focus on gut health nutrition, enhanced feed formulation transparency.
The rising global production of aquatic animals is expected to drive growth in the organic feed market. Aquatic animals are organisms that live and develop in water during some or all stages of their life cycle. Organic feed is used for these animals to support sustainable and environmentally responsible aquaculture practices, ensuring the production of high-quality, eco-friendly seafood. For example, in June 2023, the Biannual Report on Global Food Markets by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a Canada-based specialized agency, reported that global aquatic animal production grew by 1.2% in 2022 and is projected to increase by an additional 0.6% in 2023. Therefore, the expanding production of aquatic animals worldwide is boosting the organic feed market.
Major companies in the organic feed market are focused on creating innovative feed ingredients, such as chromium propionate, to enhance livestock and poultry diets and maintain a competitive advantage. Chromium propionate is a feed ingredient that contains the essential trace mineral chromium in the form of propionate, which is an organic acid. For instance, in February 2024, Kemin Industries, a U.S.-based manufacturer of nutritional and health solutions, received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for KemTRACE Chromium as a source of chromium in the diets of growing turkeys. This approval establishes KemTRACE Chromium as the only FDA-reviewed source of chromium propionate in the animal nutrition and health market, based on significant research conducted by Kemin Industries. The chromium propionate is an organic and highly bioavailable form of chromium that has been approved for use in the diets of developing turkeys, broiler chickens, swine, cattle, and horses. Millions of animals globally have already benefited from the inclusion of KemTRACE Chromium in their diets.
In January 2025, Reudink, a Netherlands-based provider of organic animal feed, acquired the compound feed factory in Furstenau, Germany, from A. Ricke Agrar GmbH & Co. KG for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Reudink's organic feed production capacity, strengthen its presence in the German market, and improve operational efficiency by producing closer to regional customers. A. Ricke Agrar GmbH & Co. KG's Furstenau facility is a Germany-based producer of conventional compound feed.
