Innovation in the Feed Industry

21 May 20212 min reading

The imperatives of Industry 4.0 make adaptation to the 'new' and continuous development an integral part of production.

The process we are going through globally has accelerated the technology that has been developing already at a dizzying speed. For example; although virtual fairs and online meetings were on the agenda in the pre-COVID-19 period, they have become a reality of life. Even if the world gets rid of the pandemic, these signs of progress have now reached an irreversible stage.

Industry stakeholders connected with technology are working on innovation to overcome the challenges they face in the feed industry. These areas can be listed as feed technologies, packaging, animal breeding, health and welfare, and developing sustainable and effective feed additives.

As the feed market is expected to grow in the coming years depending on the increasing demand for animal products, the industry is working towards certain targets, including sustainable feed ingredients/additives and efficient feed production practices. In the coming years, R&D and innovation will bring the feed industry one step closer to these goals.
