Animal intestinal health is characterized by a stable condition wherein the microbiome and the intestinal tract exist in a mutually beneficial equilibrium, ensuring that the animal's well-being and performance are not hindered by intestinal dysfunction.
The primary categories of products within the realm of animal intestinal health comprise phytogenics, probiotics, immunostimulants, and prebiotics. Phytogenics encompass plant-derived products incorporated into feed to improve feed palatability and enhance animal performance. These products can be derived from microbial or plant sources, and they are available in various forms such as dry and liquid. Their application extends across diverse livestock categories, including poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquaculture.

The animal intestinal health market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.08 billion in 2024 to $4.51 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to antibiotic reduction initiatives, increasing demand for animal protein, advancements in probiotics research, regulatory support for healthier alternatives, rising consumer awareness, increased focus on animal welfare, demand for organic and natural products.
The animal intestinal health market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.94 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global population growth and protein demand, research and innovation in probiotics, enhanced regulatory support, advancements in microbiome science, expansion of applications in aquaculture. Major trends in the forecast period include antibiotic alternatives, integration of technology in monitoring, technological innovations in animal nutrition, telehealth and monitoring, customized nutrition solutions.
The rising incidence of intestinal disorders among livestock is expected to propel the growth of the animal intestinal health market in the coming years. Intestinal disorders in animals refer to diseases that impair gastrointestinal functionality, which is crucial for sustainable animal production and overall performance. Products aimed at improving animal intestinal health, such as probiotics and eubiotics, are designed to enhance enzymatic activity in the gastrointestinal tract, improving food digestibility and immunity by modulating the immune system. This modulation helps prevent various intestinal disorders, including anthrax, subclinical parasitism, functional dyspepsia, and hemorrhagic bowel syndrome, among others. For example, in June 2022, the Economic Research Service, a US-based government agency, reported that digestive issues, including diarrhea, accounted for 56.5 percent of health problems in preweaned calves. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of intestinal disorders among livestock worldwide is driving the growth of the animal intestinal health market.
The increasing adoption of livestock farming is anticipated to drive the growth of the animal intestinal health market in the future. Livestock farming involves breeding, raising, and managing domesticated animals for various purposes, primarily for food, fiber, and other by-products. Prioritizing intestinal health in livestock farming leads to improved overall animal performance, better feed efficiency, enhanced productivity, and increased nutrient absorption. It also reduces the reliance on antibiotics and promotes long-term sustainability. For instance, in July 2024, the National Agricultural Statistics Service, a branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, reported a 4.7% increase in expenditures by livestock farms from 2022 to 2023, reaching a total of $229.4 billion in 2023. Therefore, the growing adoption of livestock farming is expected to significantly contribute to the expansion of the animal intestinal health market.
Product innovations are emerging as a key trend gaining traction in the animal intestinal health market. Leading companies in the industry are focusing on developing advanced and innovative solutions to solidify their market presence. For example, in June 2024, the Alltech U.S. Pork Team introduced Levelset(TM) at the World Pork Expo, a new product aimed at enhancing gut health in pigs. Leveraging advanced nutritional science, Levelset(TM) supports optimal digestive function, ensuring improved nutrient absorption and overall health in swine. This innovative product seeks to enhance the well-being of pigs and, ultimately, boost the efficiency of pork production.
Major players within the animal intestinal health market are steering their focus towards innovative solutions, exemplified by the introduction of active microbial solutions aimed at bolstering their market share and revenue streams. Active microbial solutions, concentrated suspensions of microorganisms, serve to enhance the health and productivity of plants, animals, and soil. For instance, in June 2022, Kemin Industries Inc., a US-based ingredient manufacturer dedicated to improving life quality for both humans and animals, unveiled ENTEROSURE. This product is tailored to address gut health concerns, augment animal productivity, and counteract harmful bacterial growth in poultry and cattle, while simultaneously supporting a healthy microbiome. ENTEROSURE offers a holistic approach to fortify intestinal resilience, minimizing the risks posed by diseases affecting animal intestinal health. The aim is to empower animal producers in achieving profitable, efficient, and sustainable protein production while addressing prevalent concerns linked to intestinal health.
In a strategic move, Cargill Inc., a prominent US-based company operating in the food and agriculture sectors, completed the acquisition of Delacon Biotechnik GmbH in June 2022 for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition sets the stage for Delacon's amplified potential for future advancements and an expanded global reach for phytogenic feed additives. The merger empowers Cargill to diversify its range of animal nutrition products and leverage Delacon's specialized expertise in phytogenic feed additives. Delacon Biotechnik GmbH, headquartered in Austria, specializes in offering natural feed additives for animal nutrition.
