Morocco's livestock sector faces significant volatility due to erratic rainfall and fluctuating grain imports. The reliance on traditional grazing is increasingly supplemented by cattle feed concentrate to maintain milk and meat yields during the dry seasons characteristic of the Atlas and Rif regions.
In the poultry sector, the rapid expansion of industrial farming in the Gharb and Chaouia plains has created a massive demand for high-energy chicken feed. However, the challenge remains in balancing cost-effective raw materials with the pharmaceutical-grade purity required to prevent avian diseases.
The local market is currently shifting from generic feed to specialized animal food additives. There is a growing awareness among Moroccan producers regarding the role of micronutrients and enzymes in improving feed conversion ratios (FCR) and reducing environmental waste.
