Moreover, its deficiency often leads to health disorders such as certain pathological changes and cardiomyopathy, renal dysfunction, developmental abnormalities, and severe damage to retinal neurons.

To eliminate this, taurine is frequently used as a food and feed additive. American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and the National Research Council (NRC) suggest the inclusion of taurine in the diet of dogs and cats in a regulated quantity that is assigned by them.

Considering this, the rising prevalence of taurine deficiency due to age or underlying ailments has been creating growth opportunities.
