Introduction of Non-Ionophores in Animal Feed Fuels South & Central America Feed Anticoccidials Market
Ionophores have some degree of antibacterial activity and fit the classical definition of an antibiotic. All ionophores are approved for broiler chicken production, but not all are approved or safe for turkeys. Salinomycin and narasin are quite toxic for turkeys and equines. As ionophores are antibiotics, they should not be used continuously but instead rotated with different anticoccidials. Moreover, there are stringent regulations on using antibiotics in feed as an additive. Thus, manufacturers are developing different anticoccidials that cannot be called antibiotics.
Non-ionophores are compounds produced by chemical synthesis; thus, they fall under the category of chemical anticoccidials. They destroy coccidia by cidal activity or suppress coccidia by static activity. They have no known antibacterial activity; hence, they are not considered as an antibiotic. Non-ionophores are products containing nicarbazin, zoalene, amprolium, clopidol, decoquinate, robenidine and diclazuril. EW Nutrition-an agribusiness company that creates solutions that bring reliable benefits with reduced need for antibiotics, especially in feed-has developed non-ionophores for animal feed. Owing to all these factors, livestock farmers concerned about using antibiotics in animal feed can opt for non-ionophore anticoccidials. Therefore, the introduction of non-ionophore in animal feed is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the feed anticoccidials market during the forecast period.
South & Central America Feed Anticoccidials Market Overview
The Brazil feed anticoccidials market is driven by its massive livestock industry and growing demand for animal protein. The poultry industry in the country heavily relies on anticoccidials to prevent and control coccidiosis. Brazil produces over 11.79 metric tons of chicken meat annually, with approximately 3.62 metric tons exported to over 150 countries. The country's cattle herd, numbering approximately 215 million head as of 2023, also contributes to the demand for feed anticoccidials. Brazil's beef production reached 10.5 million tons in 2022, with exports accounting for about 25% of this volume.
Ionophores dominate the market, followed by chemical anticoccidials, based on anticoccidials market. Brazil's strict regulations on anticoccidial use, overseen by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply (MAPA), ensure product safety and efficacy while aligning with international standards. This regulatory framework supports the country's position as a trusted global supplier of animal protein products. These factors drive the demand for feed anticoccidials in the country.
