Animal feeding equipment is one of the most crucial and critical tools for the administration of feeds to animals. This equipment helps to ensure their healthy survival, continued productivity, and the absence of various diseases, which may be often caused due to nutritional deficiencies. Animal feed refers to the food that is provided to domesticated animals, which includes both livestock and companion animals. The types of animal feeding equipment differ from animal to animal and can be applied to both the livestock and companion animals. Animal feed is essential for the animal’s health since it provides a better immunity against diseases and also helps in the prevention and better recovery from diseases. For livestock animals, animal feed is needed for their productivity and is essential for the agricultural production of milk, eggs, fiber, and meat. Deficiencies due to improper animal feed are not physically visible but are often reflected in the major reduction of their productivity. These deficiencies lead to the sub-optimal growth and fertility of the animals. Thus, to increase agricultural production and maintain the health of animals, feeding equipment is in demand propelling the growth of the animal feeding equipment market.

The global animal feeding equipment market is anticipated to grow owing to several factors such as the rising animal population, increasing the prevalence of animal diseases, and growing pet ownership. Additionally, higher demand for meat and animal-based products, easy accessibility & affordability of treatment and rising awareness about animal health & welfare is driving the market potential of animal feeding equipment. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the U.S. had 93.7 million cattle in 2017. This high number of cattle leading to increased demand for animal feeding equipment is anticipated to positively drive the market growth.

However, the factors limiting the growth of the global animal feeding equipment market are lack of awareness amongst the emerging markets, high initial costs of the animal feeding equipment and the issues associated with the lack of standardization of the animal feeding equipment.
