Research & development
Cargill is a global leader in animal nutrition science due to our strong customer focus paired with a disciplined, scientific approach to nutrients, nutrient supply and animal metabolism. The Poultry Innovation Unit at the Innovation Campus in Elk River, Minnesota, conducts frequent and thorough research that focuses on maximizing poultry performance, promoting gut health, controlling costs for customers, and helping produce high-quality meat and eggs.
Through our research we have developed unique, science-based solutions for layers, broilers, turkeys, game birds and other poultry. These solutions include feeds and management tools that help producers, feed manufacturers and retailers reach the end-market qualities, such as breast size and yolk color, that consumers desire.
