The world needs safe, healthy, and affordable food. Today, and for generations to come. But farmers, food producers, and families around the world are facing bigger environmental, health, and cost challenges than ever.
At Animal Nutrition & Health, we have the ability to help, with smart science and innovative solutions to make animal protein healthier, more accessible, and more sustainable. From gut-health support to precision-nutrition software, our mission is to use these solutions to lead a sustainable transformation in animal farming worldwide.
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.
We boost quality, profitability, and sustainability in animal farming across five business lines: Essential Products, Premix, Performance Solutions, Precision Services, and Aroma. Across each of these lines, we’re committed to delivering a high-quality, reliable offering.
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.
To develop our animal-nutrition solutions, we carry out research and development in several critical areas. Our scientific capabilities have enabled us to publish more than 80 peer-reviewed papers, file over 40 patents, and work with more than 200 institutions worldwide each year.
At the heart of our company is a culture grounded in accountability, ownership, and responsibility. We believe in doing the right thing – always – and taking pride in the outcomes we create. Every employee is empowered to lead with integrity, care deeply about their work, and support one another through true collaboration.
We’re also driven by a commitment to bring peace of mind to our customers through quality, reliability, and sustainability. With our customers at heart, we stay grounded in being guided by science and fueled by a pioneering spirit. Everything we do is built on trust, care, and a constant push to do better.
Our 90+-year history has led to us offering the largest IP portfolio in our industry today. Now, we are on the brink of another exciting chapter: in 2024, dsm-firmenich shared its plan to find a new owner for our business.
We are looking forward to continuing to forge our future as innovation leaders with confidence, extending our legacy of excellence in feeding the planet without costing the Earth.
