Other than this, protein is considered to be a key source of energy for poultry birds. Rise in investments in poultry feed mills, poultry houses and slaughterhouses has led to growth of poultry feed market. Amongst the other feed ingredients, blood meal is an important feed ingredient that is primarily used in poultry feed. Poultry blood meal is considered to be cost effective replacement and best performing ingredient in comparison to other forms of feed ingredients. It is widely known for its nutritional profile and is a rich source of protein, iron and lysine content. Other than this, blood meal also enhances pepsin digestibility and is, therefore, used in supplementary protein to along with plant-derived feed ingredients. Thus, the rising demand for poultry from the nations across the world has been a factor contributing to the rise and development of the blood meal market.

Source Based Market Insights
Based on source, the blood meal market is segmented into porcine blood, poultry blood and ruminant blood. The poultry blood segment accounted for the largest share of the Asia Pacific blood meal market in 2018; however, the market for the porcine segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Porcine blood, which is also known as pig blood or swine blood, encapsulates many of the similar characteristics of human blood and is quite a useful animal model in many areas of research. Some of the industries are offering glutaraldehyde-stabilized freshly prepared pig red blood cells for research or other purposes. Poultry blood is collected from chicken mainly for two purposes, such as to obtain serum, which can be tested for various disease virus antibodies, no anticoagulant is required in this process, and the blood is allowed to clot. The levels of antibody detected in individual birds and flocks give an indication of the response to vaccination. Ruminant blood is collected mainly from a cow. Fresh and whole blood is collected from slaughterhouses, then coagulated, and finally steam dried, which is often referred to as "animal protein transformed from the blood." Ruminant meat meal and the bone meal had been banned from giving as feed to ruminants to give support as one of the fire-wall to BSE. A ruminant blood meal is one of the good protein sources, and the protein is a high percentage of by-pass, about 75%. So this blood meal is a good source of by-pass protein.

The other application of blood meal goes to fertilizer, pesticides which are used in agricultural purpose. Since, blood meal contains many nutrients; it is quite useful even for maintaining soil quality. Blood meals help in animal farming as well as in healthy crop yield. Blood meal contains a high percentage of crude protein and is commonly used as a protein source in pig starter diets. Porcine plasma has been re-allowed as a feed ingredient for pigs and poultry since plasma improves piglets' growth performance and health without developing antibiotic resistance. Poultry feed is basically food for farm poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese, and other domestic birds. Feed ingredients for poultry diets are particularly selected for the nutrients they provide, the absence of toxic factors, their palatability effect on feed intake, and also their cost.

Drum drying is basically a method used by industries for drying out liquids from raw materials with the help of a drying drum. In this process, pureed raw ingredients are fed and dried at relatively low temperatures over-rotating and high-capacity drums, which produce sheets of drum-dried products. The ring dryer is basically a special development of the flash dryer with the incorporation of an internal airborne recycle for greatly improved operation and efficiency. Spray drying is known to be a method of producing any dry powder from any liquid or slurry through rapidly drying with a hot gas. This drying process is preferred for drying of many thermally-sensitive materials, including foods and pharmaceuticals.
