Leveraging innovative nutrition research to improve animal health 

Through TRANSFORM, a USAID-funded activity working at the intersection of animal agriculture and human health, Cargill drives locally led research to understand how animal nutrition could have the greatest impact on pathogens that threaten human health like anthrax, brucellosis, foot and mouth disease, Newcastle disease virus, Clostridium perfringens, infectious bursal disease virus, Pathogenic E. coli, Salmonella, Betaarterivirus suid 1 (causes porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome; PRRS), Campylobacter, Fowl pox and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI, including H5N1). By working with local research partners and using locally available products and breeds, we’re able to design research trials that mimic local farm conditions most closely.
