Introduction of Non-Ionophores in Animal Feed Boosts Asia Pacific 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.
Asia Pacific Feed Anticoccidials Market Overview
China is one the largest producers of pork and poultry, creating effective control measures for diseases such as coccidia, which can impact animal health and growth rates. The occurrence of coccidiosis in intensive farming operations makes the adoption of feed anticoccidials crucial in mitigating economic losses. These losses are generated from decreased feed conversion efficiency, lower weight gain, and increased mortality rates among the infected animals.
The government of China focuses on food safety and quality, which propels the market for feed anticoccidials. Regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) have stringent guidelines for the use of veterinary drugs and feed additives, ensuring the safety and efficacy of anticoccidial products. Furthermore, there is a growing trend of the use of natural and nonchemical anticoccidials in China.
