Poultry antibiotics are primarily used to treat infectious diseases as well as preventative treatment for birds (chickens, turkeys, geese, and ducks) raised commercially or domestically for meat, eggs, and feathers. Antibiotics help make food safe by keeping chickens healthy and reducing bacteria entering the food supply. Antibiotics in poultry are generally administered to the entire flock and are used for the treatment of disease, disease prevention, and growth promotion.
Market Dynamics:
An increase in the population of chickens, a rise in consumption of eggs and meat, a rise in focus on poultry healthcare, an increase in awareness among people, and an increase in demand for safe and effective poultry antibiotics are major factors expected to drive growth of the global poultry antibiotic market.
