Cuba's livestock industry faces unique challenges due to its humid tropical climate and specific economic constraints. The demand for high-quality chicken feed is increasing as the nation seeks to bolster domestic poultry production to ensure food security.
Currently, the reliance on traditional grazing is shifting toward the integration of compound feed systems. This transition is necessary to overcome the seasonal volatility of natural forage and to meet the strict metabolic requirements of high-yield livestock breeds.
The pharmaceutical approach to veterinary medicine in Cuba is highly advanced, yet there is a growing gap in the availability of specialized animal food additives that can prevent heat-stress induced productivity drops in cattle and swine.
