Germany has around 12.9 million head of cattle in total, including 4.2 million dairy cows and 0.7 million suckler cows. Germany has the largest dairy cattle herd and the second largest cattle population in the European Union. At about 20% Germany has the largest pig population in the EU. Around 1,700 breeding farms (nucleus and multiplication breeding) keep about 100,000 registered breeding animals. Foreign demand for breeding and slaughter pigs, piglets and semen increases year by year. German breeders meet this demand with a wide range of products. In Germany the poultry industry currently consists of around 34 million laying hens, 60 million broilers and 11 million turkeys for meat production.

Market Growth of Livestock Research

·   The top-most consumers in animal feed additives market are Asia-Pacific and North America, and their collectively account for more than 60% of the total consumption. High growth is seen in the countries of Asia-Pacific such as China, India, and Brazil, because of increasing income levels and rising per capita meat consumption. Poultry market is estimated to be the largest market for feed additives and swine is in the second position. The factors that help in accelerating the growth in this market are the increasing awareness among people towards safety and quality of meat, rise in the global consumption of meat, and recent disease outbreaks in livestock.

To capitalize on the growth trend in the global market, several leading companies are quickly taking to the development and manufacture of animal feed additives. The growing demand for feed additive is forcing the global players to add feed additives to their product offerings. The leading players of this industry with their recent developments and other strategic industry activities include DSM (The Netherlands), Evonik (Germany), Archer Daniels Midland Company (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), Cargill, Inc. (USA) and CHR Hansen A/S (Denmark).
