INTERVIEW FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2025 55 Dr. Christos Antipatis, Vice President for Cargill Micronutrition & Health Solutions (MHS): “The reality is, we are just getting started and this is exciting. The next phase is about targeted innovation, both by extending our existing technologies into new regions and categories and by developing new solutions where we see unmet needs. Gut health and the microbiome will remain core pillars, but within MHS we are also focusing on integrating our digital tools and services to support our customers’ on-farm decision-making.” We sat down with Dr. Christos Antipatis, Vice President for Cargill’s Micronutrition & Health Solutions (MHS) business, to reflect on how the recent changes to the brand portfolio are transforming the industry and to get a glimpse of what’s next in the fast-evolving landscape. From tackling persistent poultry health challenges to driving gut health innovation in swine, the Cargill Micronutrition & Health Solutions team is reshaping what’s possible for animal performance, protection, and profitability. Mr. Antipatis, it’s been an exciting year for Cargill MHS, especially with the launch of the new brand portfolio for your solutions in 2024. Can you share your reflections on the progress you’ve made since introducing wave one and how that’s resonating in the market? Absolutely! It’s been a significant step forward for us. The launch of our refreshed portfolio of brands under the MHS umbrella wasn’t just about introducing new names; it was about bringing clarity and really putting our customers at the center of where it starts, focusing on delivering species-specific, and need-based solutions. We did that by organizing our products in a way that helps customers navigate and find the best solution to their challenge while also directing our efforts on innovation. We are focusing these into three pillars: Protecting the animals, preserving the environment, and enhancing performance - connecting our technologies and helping producers proactively manage challenges, promote animal resilience, and support long-term productivity. Since the launch in 2024, we focused on identifying how we'll bring this to the markets, and we have the first wave of changes starting to be seen now. We’ve rolled out several key brand updates, including new products for poultry, swine, and ruminants, and it’s exciting to see the positive reactions from our customers in different regions.
