DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v7xwvh/feed_testing) has announced the addition of the "Feed Testing Market by Livestock, by Type, & Geography Global Trends & Forecasts To 2019" report to their offering.
The need for feed testing emerged due to the occurrence of several diseases in animals due to the consumption of contaminated compound feed. Industrialization has also led to the contamination of feed ingredients such as corn, maize, and other grains, which are cultivated using land that is exposed to contamination. The regulatory bodies such as FDA, FAO, EUROPA, and USDA have made mandatory regulations for the testing of feed ingredients before they are marketed.
The feed testing market has been growing along with increase in concern for animal safety among farmers, feed manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and respective governments. The concern for feed safety has been increasing due to the consumption of contaminated feed, and this has been responsible for the outbreak of several illnesses such as BSE and PED. The factors responsible for feed contamination include improper handling, contaminated feed ingredients, contaminated water, and inadequate treatment/processing of materials.
The driving force of the market includes stringent regulations and increasing feed supply trade. The global market involves tests for contaminants such as pathogens, toxins, genetically modified feed ingredients, and pesticides. Introduction of novel techniques to detect and identify contaminants present in the feed samples has also been driving the market. The key market players include Silliker Inc. (U.S.), Intertek Group Plc (U.K.), Eurofins Scientific (Luxembourg), Institut für Produktqualität (Germany), and Romer Labs Inc. (U.S.), which are using strategies such as expansions, investments, new technology/product/service launches, and mergers & acquisitions to strengthen their position in the market.
In 2013, North America dominated the feed testing market due to the outbreak of several diseases that affected the health of animals and humans. Stringent regulations regarding feed testing were implemented by several regulatory bodies such as FDA, FAO, USDA, EUROPA, and EFSA, which made it mandatory for the feed manufacturers to test the quality of their feed ingredients and accordingly label the products.
