Innovation Center

The Cargill Animal Nutrition Innovation Campus was established in 1958 and now encompasses nearly 1000 acres. Our global animal nutrition research team is comprised of 94 PhD’s, all dedicated to defining and understanding animal health and metabolism.

Our efforts in animal nutrition extend far beyond the Innovation Campus, yet the Innovation Campus remains the cornerstone of our innovation, research, and application efforts. The research and technology capabilities of Cargill Animal Nutrition are continuously enhanced with integration of acquisitions, as well as internal refinements. The best of these research systems are integrated into a single animal nutrition research system that has expertise and resources unmatched in the industry.  

We conduct laboratory research for Showmaster® feeds at the Innovation Campus to better understand the nutrient value of ingredients. We work to know both the chemical composition and the digestibility of the nutrients because those details make the difference in feed performance. Technologies like digestible fiber, digestible amino acids, and rumen health index were developed here. These allow us to calculate and deliver the nutrients needed to promote maximum growth through a well-balanced feeding program. Ultimately, these tools set the bar for our standard of excellence and translate into your success.
