  • Driven by a surge in the consumption of animal-based food products, the Italy compound feed market is set for robust growth. Shifts in consumer dietary preferences, emphasizing the quality of dairy and meat products, have fueled this market's expansion during the forecast period. Additionally, a well-balanced animal feed is crucial not only for ensuring animal health but also for producing safe and high-quality animal products.
  • Italian consumers are gravitating towards premium meat offerings, with nearly 45% favoring locally sourced products. Eurostat data highlights this trend: cow slaughters in Italy rose from 561.9 thousand in 2021 to 602.8 thousand in 2022. This uptick has led to a significant increase in domestic cattle breeding, especially for the 'Vitelloni Piemontesi della Coscia' PGI, with a population of 315,000 heads. Other notable breeds include 52,000 Marchigiana, 46,000 Chianina, 12,000 Romagnola, and 5,000 Podolica.
  • In Italy, a rising appetite for animal-derived proteins has intensified livestock production, heavily reliant on compound feed. Recently, the compound feed industry has become more capital-intensive, increasingly harnessing technological advancements to boost efficiency and sustainability. These advanced methods tailor feeds not only to livestock farmer demands but also consider the environmental impact. Moreover, Italy is gradually reintroducing processed animal proteins (PAPs), marking a step towards a sustainable production model and hinting at market expansion.

Italy Compound Feed Market News

  • March 2024: In a bid to protect its agri-food heritage, the Italian government passed a bill prohibiting laboratory-produced food and animal feed. Consequently, Italian industries are barred from producing food or feed sourced from ‘cell cultures or tissues derived from vertebrate animals.’
  • June 2023: Alltech has introduced Triad, a solution that promotes successful farrowing and pig livability through a palatable, proprietary blend of Alltech ingredients. The supplementation of these compounds in combination can support the parturition process, reduce the incidence of stillborn pigs, and boost the number of wean pigs per sow.
