INTERVIEW 70 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2024 Gilles Houdart, Global MHS Business Director, Cargill Animal Nutrition: “To help solving our customers’ challenges, we have developed the Micronutrition and Health Solutions (MHS) business within Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health (ANH). MHS is deeply rooted in nutritional science, research, innovation, and sustainability and combines the best talent, resources, and capabilities of Diamond V, Delacon, and Cargill Animal Nutrition (CAN) providing a world class portfolio of postbiotics, phytogenics, anti-mycotoxin agents, and enzymes to promote better animal lives and enhance customer livelihoods.” Feed additives have played an important role in animal nutrition for several decades. Among other reasons, they can serve to improve feed efficiency, increase animal performance, and fully exploit its genetic potential. Recently, Cargill launched its newly created Micronutrition and Health Solutions (MHS) business going beyond traditional feed additives considering all microelements in animal diets impacting the microbiome providing an innovative, holistic approach to animal nutrition and health. We sat down with Gilles Houdart, Global MHS Business Director, to gain deeper insights into the MHS business and how it aims to improve animal lives and customer livelihoods. Mr. Houdart, can you explain the idea behind Micronutrition and Health Solutions and the concept of the Microverse™? Working closely with our customers, we know that today’s farmers, livestock, and aquaculture producers are challenged to improve animal productivity, health, nutrient utilization and to move towards zero nutrient waste. We recognize the need to reduce feed costs, help minimize antibiotic usage and reduce environmental emissions. At the same time, there is no one-size-fits-all solution that meets the wide range of customer specific needs. To help solving our customers’ challenges, we have developed the Micronutrition and Health Solutions (MHS) business within Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health (ANH). MHS is deeply rooted in nutritional science, research, innovation, and sustainability and combines the best talent, resources, and capabilities of Diamond V, Delacon, and Cargill Animal Nutrition (CAN) providing a world class portfolio of postbiotics, phytogenics, anti-mycotoxin agents, PROVIDING A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO ANIMAL NUTRITION WITH CARGILL’S MHS
