Addressing the challenges of today and tomorrow

To provide for animals, people, and planet sustainably, we need to find new solutions — innovative, science-based solutions to safeguard our environment for generations to come.

We develop solutions to address the challenges our customers face today, with an understanding of how the animal protein industry is being shaped for the future. By investing in technologies and precision services, we enable our industry to become more sustainable and profitable.

Feeding the planet ...

At Animal Nutrition & Health , we’re committed to creating an animal protein industry that can meet the nutritional needs of a rapidly growing population, while remaining within critical planetary boundaries.

Collaborating closely with our customers, we’re working to solve some of today’s biggest global challenges to bring about a fairer and more prosperous society for all.

Optimizing animals’ health and nutrition at every lifecycle stage is essential for improving their lifetime performance and production efficiency, and thereby driving more sustainable animal production.

Consumers, veterinarians, and farmers all share an interest in healthier farm animals. Healthy animals are more productive, have a lower impact on the environment, and need less antibiotic treatment.

Animal protein is a key part of healthy, balanced nutrition. In particular, it’s essential for the provision of key micronutrients. Specific nutritional intervention during the animal production period can help enhance end-product quality and avoid food waste.

Our industry must reduce the emissions generated by animal farming – especially levels of methane, nitrous oxide, and ammonia. We are helping to enable a low-emissions future for animal farming while supporting animal welfare.

Better animal nutrition leads to reduced environmental footprints and more sustainable returns on investment. From enzymes to mycotoxin risk management techniques, our portfolio safeguards feed quality, supporting animal health and enabling more efficient use of natural resources.

... without costing the Earth

To remain within planetary boundaries, we will need to reduce the environmental costs of animal farming. This will require smart science and innovative solutions. Our mission is to use these solutions to lead a sustainable transformation in animal farming worldwide.
