Novus Animal Nutrition India: Pushing Boundaries Of Animal Production With Animal Feed Additives

Amidst the developing countries that are known for rapid population growth, India is estimated to dominate the list in 2028 as the world's most populous country, unseating China. As the current world population of 7.6 billion is projected to skyrocket to 9.8 billion by 2050, the demand for food would also swell. As per FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization) estimates, we have to increase the overall food production by 70 percent to feed the world population in 2050. Only 10 percent of this 70 percent increase is expected to come from land expansion, while the remaining 90 percent should come from higher crop yields and alternative food sources. In such a scenario, the role of animal agriculture becomes extremely important to meet the growing food and protein demands.
