Cargill marks 50 years of feed innovation
The Cargill Animal Nutrition Innovation Campus in Elk River (Minn, USA) will celebrate 50 years of research, innovation and excellence in the animal nutrition field this month.
The Cargill Innovation Campus is the main technology
center for Cargill’s global animal nutrition businesses, which today operate in
26 countries. Over the last fifty years, research has gone from studying
production management techniques to exploration of nutrient values and
metabolism. Today’s research at the Campus also lies in exploring how
developments in animal nutrition can be applied to human nutrition.
