Establish An Optimum Feeding Program
The Cargill Animal Nutrition Feeding Program improves your production efficiency and profitability. Bird genotypes, products, market values, farm management and environment all play a role in determining the right feeding phases and feed quantity. We use tools based on biological and economic principles to determine nutrient contents and to optimize feeding program. Your feeding program covers those matters specific to your operation.
