The use of amino acids, which are essential for optimizing protein intake and enhancing growth rates in poultry and swine. These amino acids, particularly lysine, methionine, and threonine, play a critical role in improving the feed conversion ratio and overall growth performance of animals. As poultry and swine are major contributors to Vietnam's livestock industry, the demand for these amino acids has remained strong, with producers focusing on increasing production efficiency and reducing feed costs. Antibiotics have traditionally been integral to disease prevention and growth promotion in livestock feed in Vietnam. Vietnam has started to implement more stringent regulations regarding antibiotic usage in animal feed, in line with international efforts to reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance. Vitamins and minerals remain essential components of animal feed in Vietnam. These micronutrients are critical for the immune function, bone health, and reproductive performance of livestock, and their demand has risen in tandem with the growing focus on improving livestock health and productivity. Products that enhance fertility, growth, and overall animal performance are highly sought after. Specifically, the need for calcium, phosphorus, and zinc in the ruminant and poultry sectors has contributed to the expansion of this segment in the feed market. Enzymes help break down complex feed components, especially in low-cost ingredients like rice bran, a common feed in Vietnam. Antioxidants are also becoming increasingly important, especially in a tropical climate like Vietnam's. They help extend feed shelf life and prevent nutritional degradation, ensuring that the feed remains effective for longer periods despite the country’s hot and humid climate. The flavors and sweeteners are widely used to improve palatability, particularly for young or sick animals that may have reduced feed intake. Other additives such as acidifiers, binders, and preservatives are commonly used in Vietnam to enhance feed quality and reduce spoilage and contamination. Poultry feed additives are essential for maintaining efficient production cycles and supporting the industry’s growing needs, both for domestic consumption and export markets. The swine sector also holds substantial importance in Vietnam, with pork being a staple part of the Vietnamese diet. Additives for swine primarily focus on boosting immunity, enhancing weight gain, and improving disease resistance. As the demand for pork remains robust across the country, feed additives are crucial in ensuring that pigs maintain optimal growth and health. These additives not only support the swine industry by improving production yields but also help reduce the impact of diseases, which can be a significant challenge in swine farming. The continuous need for disease prevention and weight management in swine farming drives a steady demand for additives in this sector. The ruminant sector, including cattle, goats, and buffaloes, is significant for both dairy and beef production in Vietnam. In this segment, feed additives are used primarily to enhance fiber digestion, increase milk yield, and improve reproductive performance. Additives like vitamins, minerals, and enzymes are commonly used to address these needs, ensuring the health and productivity of the livestock. The aquaculture industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors, driven by the country’s position as one of the world's leading producers of fish and shrimp. As Vietnam expands its aquaculture production, feed additives are becoming more essential. In aquaculture, additives are used to boost immunity, improve feed conversion, and even enhance coloration in certain fish and shrimp species, which is critical for both domestic consumption and export markets. Dry feed additives are the dominant form of feed used across various livestock sectors, including poultry, swine, and ruminants. These additives, which include powders, granules, and pellets, are highly favored for their ease of handling, extended shelf life, and cost-effectiveness. The dry form of feed additives is particularly useful in large-scale feed production, where efficient mixing and consistent application are crucial. These dry additives are effective in improving feed efficiency, promoting growth, and supporting animal health. For instance, in poultry farming, dry feed additives are used to boost feed conversion rates, support gut health, and improve growth rates. Similarly, in the swine and ruminant sectors, dry additives help optimize nutrient absorption, enhance immunity, and improve overall production efficiency. Their versatility and ability to be incorporated easily into a variety of feed types make them the preferred choice for many livestock producers in Vietnam. Liquid additives are becoming increasingly essential due to their rapid absorption and ability to be incorporated directly into water or feed, making them ideal for growth-promoting and medicated feeds. In poultry, liquid additives are often used to enhance feed palatability, improve nutrient absorption, and promote overall health. In the aquaculture industry, liquid feed additives are used to boost feed conversion and immune health in fish and shrimp, which is especially important as Vietnam’s aquaculture sector expands to meet both domestic and international demand.
