India is one of the few nations in the world with the highest population of livestock. In addition, it ranks among the top producers of fish, beef, chicken, eggs, and milk. Due to innovation, animal husbandry in India has dramatically changed over time. This industry has undergone a paradigm shift, moving from therapeutics to prevention to productivity improvement, and now to overall animal healthcare. The Indian animal healthcare market is estimated to be around Rs. 7000 crores (2021- 22). The species share in the animal health market is 55 percent of livestock, 33 percent of poultry, 8 percent of companion animals, 3 percent of Aqua and the rest 1 percent for other remaining animals.
The country's exploding population is one of the main factors driving the feed additives market, and growing investment in the industry further supports the growth of the Indian animal feed supplements market over the next five years. Within this sector, indogulf Group is one of the leading companies in the animal health sector. Being established in 1974, it has experience of more than four decades which gives it an edge in probiotics, nutritional aspects of animals and so on.
The global COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on operational efficiency and the shortage of conventional feed ingredients which compelled the animal feed industry to improve feed efficiency and animal nutrition. Feed expenses are the largest component and account for up to 70 percent of total production costs, especially in
Dairy and Poultry. The immediate goal is to enhance animal performance and reduce feed costs. It will achieve only with Novel feed ingredients. “Our goal is to provide cutting-edge Direct Fed Microbial (Probiotics) formulations for gut health in animals that will improve immunity and reduce the need for antibiotics. Using technologies such as bioinformatics, nutrigenomics, and fermentation modelling, Indogulf Custom research will concentrate on the future feed ingredient needs of feed manufacturers”, says Sayed Ismail, Promoter, Indogulf Group.
The organizational structure of theindogulf Group is very flexible and is divided into strategic business units including a manufacturing facility, internal research and development, and a dedicated export marketing division. Indogulf creates and develops additives for specific requirements of individual livestock species like cattle, poultry and aquaculture.Contract manufacturing, private labelling, and custom market research are the company's main products and services. Indogulf's global strategy aids in acquiring global standards and meeting the strict quality requirements of the customer from the most regulated markets, such as North America and Europe.
