Global Hay Preservatives Market: Overview
- Hay preservatives are types of additives that are used to reduce the drying time of hay and to allow producers to pack hay with high moisture content
- Hey bales get spoiled at moisture content higher than 14%–18%. Hay preservatives reduce spoilage of hey caused by molds. These preservatives also reduce losses caused by heating after baling. The preservative amount depends on the moisture content of hay bale.
- The most effective preservatives include organic acids such as propionic acid and acetic acid. Use of preservatives is a cost-effective method to preserve hay for a long period of time.
Rise in Demand from Fodder Industry
- The global hay preservatives market is anticipated to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period. Increase in consumer awareness about preservative products and increasing demand for hey are key factors projected to drive the consumption of hay preservatives during the forecast period.
- Rising demand for hay bales from the fodder industry has driven the demand for hay preservatives. Uncertain environmental conditions are hampering the harvest of alfalfa and other types of hay, which drives the demand for products to preserve hay for a long time. This factor is driving the demand for hay preservatives across the globe.
- Growth of the global dairy & meat industry is also driving the demand for hay as an animal fodder. This, in turn, is augmenting the demand for hey preservatives.
- Key restraints of the global hay preservatives market include volatile prices of raw materials and increasing regulations on the global animal fodder industry
