hero about research nutri science

Nutritional Science

Cargill’s deep understanding of nutrients, nutrient delivery and the conversion of nutrients to support animal and human development and health is based on 50 years of research in animal metabolism — and more recently acquired knowledge in the area of human nutrition.

In working with you to achieve the desired nutritional value in your products, we apply our understanding of the basic components of nutrition — water, energy, protein, vitamins and minerals, as well as the impact of gut microbiology and the metabolic processes that influence how the body transports, burns and stores nutrients. Our solutions take into account the effect on animal and human nutrition of product formulation and production processes, palatability and daily nutrient requirements.
