In the near term, we would expect a gradual easing rather than an immediate resolution of pressures, as backlogs clear and logistics networks stabilize.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Charlton, VP of Europe at <strong>Alltech<\/strong>, added, cautioning that &#8220;it is likely that any easing will happen over a period of time, so we are not expecting any quick &#8216;return to normal&#8217; situations even if we do see a partial or total opening of the Straits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joaquim Fernandez Victoria, Global Director Operations at <strong>EW Nutrition<\/strong>, also emphasized the persistent uncertainty, stating that &#8220;it is still premature to conclude that constraints have been fully lifted or that operations have returned to pre March conditions.&#8221; EW Nutrition indicated it will continue monitoring developments closely and maintain countermeasures currently in place.<\/p>\n<p>A prolonged disruption scenario, however, presents much greater risks to the broader feed additives sector.<\/p>\n<p>Fredrik Hjelmqvist warned that extended constraints would &#8220;likely extend the current environment of volatility and uncertainty across logistics, energy-linked inputs, and raw material flows, affecting not only individual companies but the broader feed additives sector.&#8221; In response, the industry would likely prioritize &#8220;wider resilience measures, including supply diversification, strategic inventory management, and closer coordination across the value chain,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Such pressures would accelerate a fundamental industry shift Hjelmqvist identified as moving &#8220;from a primary focus on cost optimization toward a more balanced approach that prioritizes supply security, reliability, and risk management.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joaquim Fernandez Victoria also warned that sustained disruption would trigger &#8220;the continued escalation of costs driven by global energy and freight price increases,&#8221; potentially affecting suppliers, operations, and ultimately customers. &#8220;The broader feed additives sector would likely face additional price adjustments,&#8221; he said, while demand could rise as companies seek to secure safety stocks and shift &#8220;toward more regional or local alternatives to mitigate risks associated with extended transit times.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oil price volatility remains the primary pressure point, according to Janic Gouhier, <strong>CCPA Group<\/strong> Supply Chain Director. &#8220;This is compounded by a partial halt in sulfur exports from the Middle East, which could disrupt sulfuric acid production, a key ingredient in the chemical industry, including phosphates and sulphates. In this context, certain raw materials appear more vulnerable, particularly methionine,\u201d Gouhier said.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Charlton also identified raw material costs as a primary vulnerability, though he expressed confidence that supply chain routes have enabled a degree of flexibility to manage these disruptions. Charlton noted that prior supply chain challenges in the past five to six years &#8220;have instilled an agility and resilience in the industry to address these challenges.&#8221;<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- .module.article-rich-text: end -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":3191,"template":"","tags":[150],"insight-theme":[166],"insight_topic":[149,317],"news_topic":[],"class_list":["post-15382","insight","type-insight","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-oils-animal-nutrition","insight-theme-weekly-market-insights","insight_topic-feed-additives-and-animal-nutrition","insight_topic-middle-east-conflict"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Animal Nutrition Sector Supply Chain Execs Eye Gradual Normalization Should Hormuz Shipping Resume<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The animal nutrition sector supply chain is seeing cautious optimism as vessel transit improves despite ongoing tensions.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.expanamarkets.com\/insights\/article\/animal-nutrition-sector-supply-chain-execs-eye-gradual-normalization-should-hormuz-shipping-resume\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The animal nutrition sector supply chain is seeing cautious optimism as vessel transit improves despite ongoing tensions.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.expanamarkets.com\/insights\/article\/animal-nutrition-sector-supply-chain-execs-eye-gradual-normalization-should-hormuz-shipping-resume\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Expana\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-05-13T11:01:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.expanamarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cargo_ship.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"960\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expanamarkets.com\\\/insights\\\/article\\\/animal-nutrition-sector-supply-chain-execs-eye-gradual-normalization-should-hormuz-shipping-resume\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expanamarkets.com\\\/insights\\\/article\\\/animal-nutrition-sector-supply-chain-execs-eye-gradual-normalization-should-hormuz-shipping-resume\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Simon Duke\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expanamarkets.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/baa0b34a2c8451bdd0ff76bfc4b154a3\"},\"headline\":\"Animal Nutrition Sector Supply Chain Execs Eye Gradual Normalization Should Hormuz Shipping Resume\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-05-13T11:01:07+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-05-13T11:01:13+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expanamarkets.com\\\/insights\\\/article\\\/animal-nutrition-sector-supply-chain-execs-eye-gradual-normalization-should-hormuz-shipping-resume\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":13,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expanamarkets.com\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expanamarkets.com\\\/insights\\\/article\\\/animal-nutrition-sector-supply-chain-execs-eye-gradual-normalization-should-hormuz-shipping-resume\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expanamarkets.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/05\\\/cargo_ship.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Oils &amp;
