INTERVIEW 50 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2023 Phytogenic feed additives respond both to farmers' expectations for animal performance and health, and to consumers' demands for natural animal food. Therefore, they have high growth potential as a component of healthy animal feed and constitute an extremely attractive area for investment. For all these reasons, the world's leading agricultural company Cargill acquired Delacon, one of the global leaders in plant-based phytogenic additives last year. We asked Gilles Houdart, Cargill's Global Additives Business Director, for details on this strategic investment in the feed additives industry, how both companies are serving their customers after this acquisition, the importance of phytogenic feed additives, and market prospects. Houdart explains the details. CARGILL BECOMES THE GLOBAL MARKET LEADER IN PHYTOGENICS WITH DELACON Gilles Houdart, Global Additives Business Director at Cargill “We’re excited to expand our animal nutrition offerings with science-proven additives. With the addition of Delacon’s plant-based phytogenic products, Cargill is further committed to research, innovation, sustainability and collaboration in the digestive and immune health space and becoming the global market leader in additives.”
