Seattle, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/06/2019 -- Increasing consumption of livestock products such as meat, milk, and other animal food products is expected to propel growth of the veterinary antibiotics market. Increasing prevalence of various diseases in livestock is also expected to contribute to the market growth. For instance, according to the United Nations 2015 report, antibiotics consumption in livestock is expected to reach 105,600 tons by 2030, globally due to increase in the number of animals raised for food production.

Veterinary antibiotics are used in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria and in therapeutic and prophylaxis or preventative treatment against other diseases in livestock. Antibiotics also promote growth in herds or flocks. Antibiotics are available in powder and tablet form and are fed to animals to enhance livestock production and nutritional level.

Farmers are increasing using antibiotics to optimize production of animal protein, which further aids in growth of the market. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 2015 data, with increase in human population and increased demand for meat, estimated antibiotic use in food animals will increase by 67% globally from 2010 to 2030.

High use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic-resistance and other side effects in animals and make them ineffective in treatment of various infections, which is expected to hinder growth of the market. Moreover, stringent government regulations for antibiotics use is also expected to restrict the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the new guidelines published by the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2017, the farmers and the food industry are recommended to stop using antibiotics routinely to promote growth and prevent disease in healthy animals.

Moreover, increasing preference for organic livestock, owing to growing health concerns is also expected to hinder the market growth. For instance, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA NASS), the U.S. organic broiler chicken inventories grew 145% by 2016.
