The world needs safe, healthy, and affordable food. Today, and for generations to come. And as the world’s population grows, demand for animal protein will continue to rise.
But farmers, food producers, and families around the world are facing bigger environmental, health, and cost challenges than ever. Over time, our need for ever-increasing quantities of animal protein will lead to significant environmental strain and take our food systems well beyond the planet’s boundaries.
If we are to feed the 9.7 billion people who are expected to share our planet by 2050 sustainably and responsibly, the time for change is now.
To provide enough animal protein for a growing population while remaining within planetary boundaries, we will need to reduce the environmental cost of animal farming. This will require smart science and innovative solutions.
At Animal Nutrition & Health, we have the ability to help make animal protein healthier, more accessible, and more sustainable. From performance solutions and our premix network, to precision-nutrition software, our mission is to use our solutions to lead a robust, achievable, sustainable transformation in animal farming worldwide. Together, we make it possible.
While all sustainability progress is important, we focus our passion and expertise on the following areas:
We develop novel nutritional solutions that increase the resilience of animals to stress and pathogens, thereby limiting antibiotic use.
We cultivate marine algae that naturally produce omega-3 EPA and DHA to reduce reliance on wild fish stocks.
We find ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, making farms more productive and helping to build a sustainable future for animal nutrition and health.
We develop sustainable solutions that enable animals to extract more nutrients from their feed.
We use micronutrition to improve the quality of meat, milk, fish, and eggs in order to reduce food loss and waste.
We aim to improve the lifetime performance of farm animals by supporting animal health and welfare at every stage of the lifecycle.
