Ecuador's livestock sector is characterized by extreme geographical diversity, from the humid coast to the high-altitude Andean plateaus. This variance creates significant challenges in nutrient absorption, necessitating the use of specialized animal feed supplement options that can withstand varied storage temperatures and humidity levels.
Currently, the market is shifting from traditional grazing to semi-intensive systems. There is a growing demand for high-density animal food additives to combat local mineral deficiencies in soil, particularly in the Sierra region where cattle growth rates are hindered by cold stress and limited forage quality.
The poultry sector in Ecuador has seen rapid industrialization. The transition toward high-performance chicken feed is evident as producers aim to reduce the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) to compete with international imports and meet the rising domestic demand for lean protein.
