INTERVIEW FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2023 53 businesses and partnerships, along with our innovative focus on molecules, immune function and digestive health, Cargill Animal Nutrition has the leading products and technical capabilities and offers the largest portfolio of feed additives in the world, bringing postbiotics and phytogenics together to meet changing consumer needs and help customers improve the well-being of their animals and the safety of the food supply. For example, we are seeing tremendous opportunities of synergistic new product development, combining phytogenics with other Cargill technologies like Diamond V postbiotics. While they have different modes of action, if we select the right specific phytogenics with the right specific postbiotics, they can reinforce each other for greater end results. Cargill recently launched the first product of this type for poultry broilers - Dia-V MB Pro (Intella Dual in Europe) - and are very excited about this innovation pipeline. Finally, could you please share your foresights with us about the future of the phytogenic feed additives market? What do you think about the current situation and future potential of this market? The phytogenic feed additives market continues to be driven by growing trends such as the replacement of antibiotic growth promoters, feed and production efficiency, animal welfare and the challenge of sustainability and climate change, as well as consumers wanting to better understand what they eat. Phytogenics, if specific, standardized and science-based, can address many of these challenges, and we continue to see new compounds or new applications that can be used in the future. Continuing to educate the animal nutrition industry and consumers on the science-based nature of phytogenics and the benefits they can provide to animals and farmer livelihoods is key to the potential of this market.
