Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health (ANH) showcased its integrated poultry solutions at the 2026 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, bringing together producers, customers, and industry leaders to discuss the evolving challenges of modern poultry production.
Throughout the event, Cargill ANH demonstrated how its integrated approach—combining science‑backed products, expert people, and decision‑enabling platforms —helps poultry producers navigate today’s key challenges of rising feed costs, increasing poultry gut‑health pressures, and growing performance demands. Cargill ANH experts also met with attendees to show how their integrated solutions turn complexity into clarity, enabling confident decisions that promote gut resilience, improve feed efficiency, and deliver measurable business impact across poultry operations.
Microbiome intelligence was a central theme of Cargill’s presence at the expo. Luisa Gené, MSc, Galleon™ Technology Lead, and Fernanda Castro, Micronutrition and Health Technical Lead, shared how Galleon™ transforms microbiome complexity into clear, actionable nutrition and farm‑management strategies. Powered by artificial intelligence and a global database of more than 75,000 microbiota analyses, Galleon™ enables producers to identify critical biomarkers, tailor feeding programs, and support gut health and immunity, while helping identify pathogen risk. Gené delivered a TECHTalk on this topic, and Castro presented a poster during the International Poultry Scientific Forum.
Laying persistency and long‑term productivity in modern hens were also key discussion points at the Cargill ANH booth. Angela Guaiume, Director of Poultry Nutrition Services North America, and Lieske van Eck, Senior Research Scientist, highlighted research‑proven nutritional strategies that support improved egg count over production cycles of up to 100 weeks. They emphasized the role of REVEAL™ Layers, which enable producers to non‑invasively monitor hen body condition in real time to inform the nutrition strategies that help sustain laying persistency, optimize feed efficiency, and reduce feed costs.
In addition, Vivek Kuttappan, Ph.D., Global Poultry Technology Lead, and Manuel Da Costa, Director of Strategy Marketing and Technology, Poultry North America, highlighted the synergy of postbiotics and phytogenics through Cargill ANH’s Biostrong™ portfolio. Designed to address increasing farm‑level complexity, Biostrong™ delivers science-backed micronutrition and health solutions tailored to specific performance outcomes—such as improvements in feed efficiency, body‑weight gain, egg production, and the promotion of a healthy microbiome. Backed by extensive research and field validation, Biostrong™ demonstrates how providing targeted micronutrition at the right time and in the right amount represents the next evolution in precision nutrition for modern poultry production.
As IPPE 2026 concluded, Cargill ANH reflected on the strong engagement and collaboration throughout the event, reaffirming its focus on leading the industry forward by elevating animal nutrition and health, and delivering real impact for its partners through integrated solutions—bringing its promise of “Next Level. Realized.” to life.
