Meat is highly demanded across the middle east countries and forms a part of their staple diet. Animal feeding plays a leading role in the middle eastern feed industry and feed is the largest and most important component to ensure the sustainable production of safe and affordable animal proteins for the generation of healthy meat. This will in turn drive the feed probiotics market to promote healthy growth in the animals. The main meat producers in the Middle East are Egypt, Turkey, and Jordan among other countries. A feed is the major cost factor for the livestock farmers. The number of poultry animals intaking feed probiotics grew in the region from 23,444 per thousand heads to 24,097 per thousand heads in 2018. Also, the cattle meat increased from 987,482 metric tons in 2017 to 1,003,859 metric tons in 2018 owing to the increased demand for meat in the region. The more use of feed probiotics has led to an improvement in growth, reduction in mortality, and improvement in feed conversion efficiency. of the animals. Thus, the middle-eastern farmers will demand feed vitamins in order to produce better meat quality for the consumers in the middle east.

Saudi Arabia dominates this market followed by Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and other middle eastern countries. The livestock feeding in the Middle Eastern region is highly dependent on agricultural products like maize, sorghum, soybean meal, groundnut meal, and rice bran. However, with rising livestock and animal health standards and the subsequent large-scale adoption of compound feed, several probiotics are also included in livestock diets across the region. As the standardization of meat consumers in the importing country is increasing day by day, stocks with a higher level of antibiotics are getting rejected. Hence, farmers in the region are asked to use natural ingredients as feed supplements. During this scenario, probiotics played a crucial role.
