Meet the Challenges of Nutrient Variations

The Cargill Animal Nutrition system works because it’s based on scientific research and nutritional models. It works because every major component links to each other. We cover all ingredients, from grains and by-products to fats and oils. We test regularly for moisture, ash, protein, fat, neutral and acid detergent fibers in individual ingredients. We automatically update nutrient values from wet chemistry and near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy measurements.

Both our supplier database and ingredient directory use this data to create real-time, real world nutritional guidelines for every batch of feed you order. That way you know what you’re buying. We invite you to learn more about how you can manage your feeding program effectively and with confidence:
