The mission of the AIC is to drive continuous and sustainable improvements in animal feed quality. In response to rapid advancements fueled by environmental pressures, animal health concerns, production costs, and sustainability demands, the following key trends are shaping animal feed innovation:
Alternative Proteins
Focusing on sustainable protein sources such as black soldier fly, algae-based and microbial proteins, and industrial by-products to reduce environmental impact and lower production costs.
Precision & Customized Feed
Animal feed tailored to the specific needs of farms, genetics, or animal health conditions, supported by technologies such as IoT and AI-based feed systems. This approach enhances productivity efficiency while reducing the need for antibiotics.
Functional & Medicinal Feed
Incorporating additives such as prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, symbiotics, and omega-3 to support gut health, boost immunity, reduce antibiotic use, and improve animal productivity.
Plant-Based Feed Additives
Using herbs, plant extracts, and essential oils to replace traditional growth promoters or antibiotics, ensuring safety for both consumers and the environment.
