For instance, BRF Ingredients— a provider of diverse ingredients for animal nutrition has an extensive portfolio in feather meal and poultry feather meal with blood, which is used in diets of aquatic and animal species. Manufacturers are increasing efforts to source fresh raw material, which is processed a few hours after extraction. Companies in the feather meal market are bolstering their credibility credentials by taking total guarantee for the security of raw material origin and exercise full control over the entire production chain. Acquiring Knowledge about Dietary Elements Solves Digestive Issues in Animals The feather meal market is projected to reach ~US$ 820 Mn by 2030. However, lack of clinical evidence about the digestibility of feather meal in poultry farm animal species is emerging as a restraint for market growth. Hence, researchers are increasing their knowledge about the digestibility of amino acids such as protamine in poultry animals. For instance, researchers Hans H. Stein and Lee Chiba from University of Illinois and Auburn University respectively have collaborated to assess the amino acid and phosphorus digestibility in poultry animals. On the other hand, poultry farm owners are directing feather meal products for pigs, since the meal is a good source of energy. Acquiring knowledge about various dietary components of feather meal is important, as indigestible amino acids can cause issues of digestive disorders in animals. Thus, companies in the feather meal market should collaborate with animal sciences researchers to innovate in products. Purchase A Report- Manufacturers Invest for Capacity Additions in U.S. to Support Organic Produce Companies in the North America feather meal market are investing in capacity additions to broaden their supply chains. For instance, Darling Ingredients- an animal food manufacturing company announced the launch of its third organic fertilizer production facility in Fremont, Nebraska. This is evident since North America dictates the highest revenue share among all regions in the market landscape. Manufacturers are increasing their production capacities to create the availability for organic feather meal, blood meal, and bone meal fertilizers. The trend of organic food products is another key driver, which is catalyzing the demand for feather meal fertilizers. Companies in the U.S. feather meal market are maximizing their business by allocating budgets for new plant additions and finished product storage that are designed to meet requirements of organic food growers. They are adopting various growth strategies to leverage the supply of animal ingredients in the organic fertilizers sector.

Companies in the feather meal market are using microbial technologies that are being highly publicized for its eco-friendly attributes. Bioconversion of FM using keratinolytic microorganisms is helpful in obtaining microbial enzymes that hold promising potentials in biotechnological significance. Manufacturers are increasing their R&D efforts to utilize the two feather-degrading bacteria process that holds promising potentials in creating added-value products. It has been found that simultaneous production of bacterial proteases and bioactive feather meal hydrosylates (FMH) acts as feasible method to innovate in FM products. On the other hand, manufacturers in the feather meal market are investing in state-of-the-art feather meal processing equipment such as rendering units, paddle dryers, and feather water separators, among others. Operational Adjustments Help Overcome Challenges of Low Demand amidst COVID-19 Crisis The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has slowed down the economic growth of the feather meal market. Plant closures is one of the major factors to cripple revenue generation activities in the market. Manufacturers in Europe and few countries of Asia Pacific such as China have resumed their production activities, since the pandemic has drastically subsided. In order to keep the cash flowing in the market, manufacturers in other countries are increasing efforts to place dynamic teams at production facilities to resume activities. Companies are working with skeleton crew to contain the spread of coronavirus and have instructed other staff to work from home to provide remote services. They are providing the necessary PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to employees and workers to safeguard their health. Operational adjustments are being made at manufacturing plants in order to respond toward low-demand environments. Stuck in a neck-to-neck competition with other brands? Request a custom report on Feather Meal Market Analysts’ Viewpoint Since feather meal products are not necessarily under the essential products category as suggested by the World Health Organization, manufacturers are experiencing a drop in sales due to the COVID-19 outbreak. As such, manufacturers are maximizing their business through e-Commerce websites to increase the sales of FM products during the pandemic. However, poor digestibility and low nutritional value of FM products is a recurring issue encountered by poultry farm and pet owners. Hence, companies should increase their R&D activities on bioconversion of feather meal to increase the availability of value-added products. Manufacturers should scale opportunities in the U.S. where there is tremendous demand for high-nitrogen organic FM fertilizers that support the cultivation of organic produce.
Feather Meal Market: Overview
The global feather meal market’s value stood at US$ 359.5 Mn in 2020, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a recent study. According to the report, the market is expected to reach US$ 820 Mn by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period.
Feather meal as a high source of nutrition will increase popularity among farmers to use a cost-efficient, organic fertilizer as a replacement for toxic fertilizers. A publication by Research Gate stated that some 175 thousand tons of feather meals were manufactured in Europe in 2014. This means that investors have a great opportunity in this field, and that there is also a potentially larger market in the Asia Pacific.
Feather meal is now an essential ingredient in feed for ruminant animals. Taking into account the contribution of bioavailable amino acids, hydrolyzed feather meal can be supplemented by synthetic sources or mixed with other by-product ingredients to supply its deficiencies and can thus be a very useful ingredient for feed. In the rumen of ruminant animals, the protein has minimal degradation which allows it to pass through the intestinal tract and digestion.
