Compound feed is a blend of plant-based or animal-based materials in their natural state, or products derived from the industrial processing like organic or inorganic substances, for oral feeding in the form of a complete feed. It can be both fresh or preserved and may contain additives, based on the requirement of the user and it ensures safe and nutritious means of animal proteins. Feed plays a major role in the global food industry. There has been an increase in demand for livestock products for domestic consumption from farmers and livestock rearers, with the growth in awareness regarding the benefits of high-quality feed. According to FAO, balanced rations ensure sustainable livestock production globally, and this has been shown to promote methane and nitrogen excretion reduction, thereby boosting profits for small-scale farmers due to increased animal productivity.
