Europe Resistant Starch Market Outlook

Antibiotics, a feed additive, have been widely used in livestock diets for several decades owing to their therapeutic effects. However, a few countries limit the use of certain types of antibiotics due to growing concerns about surging bacterial antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, in 2006, the European Union (EU) prohibited using antibiotics as feed additives. Such limitations on using antibiotics as growth promoters are directing livestock owners' attention to plant-based growth promoters. As a result of customer inclination toward safe food and regulatory concerns regarding the use of antibiotics, growth-promoting additive providers seek natural strategies to modulate gut development and health. For instance, resistant starch has been suggested as an alternative to antibiotics, as prebiotics are live microbial feed supplements that beneficially affect the host by improving intestinal microbial balance. The use of resistant starch as a possible alternative to antibiotics has received renewed interest owing to the legislation prohibiting the consumption of subtherapeutic amounts of antibiotics.

Animal feed consisting of resistant starch acts as an additive and is responsible for increasing the yield. It is used in poultry feed as an alternative to antibiotics. The rising incidences of digestive disorders in livestock, such as enteric infections and acidosis, further strengthen the scope of resistant starch. Resistant starch positively impacts animal health by triggering growth rate and milk and egg yield. Thus, the increasing demand for resistant starch in animal feed is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the resistant starch market growth during the forecast period.
