ISSUE FOCUS 26 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE September 2025 Marc Decoux, Senior Director, Monogastrics & Phytogenics at Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health: “We see phytogenics entering a whole new phase. It’s not only about what’s in the plant—it’s about how we use it, how we target it, and how we integrate it into the bigger picture. We’re continuing to innovate across species and production systems, expanding our Micronutrition and Health Solutions portfolio, and using digital tools to make nutrition smarter and more responsive.” Animal agriculture is evolving quickly, and producers are under growing pressure to keep pace. From supporting gut development in fast-growing broilers to improving feed efficiency in dairy cows and building resilience in nursery pigs, the need for precise, science-based nutrition strategies has never been greater. To explore how nutrition is stepping up to meet these challenges, we sat down with Marc Decoux, Senior Director, Monogastrics & Phytogenics at Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health (ANH). With deep expertise in species-specific nutrition and a passion for innovation, Decoux shares how phytogenics expertise at Cargill, along with the broader Micronutrition and Health Solutions (MHS) portfolio, is helping producers unlock performance, support animal health, and build more resilient production systems globally. What are the biggest challenges facing animal producers today, and how are these shaping the role of nutrition? Producers today are under intense pressure to do more with less. They’re being asked to reduce antibiotic use, meet rising consumer and regulatory expectations, and still maintain profitability and sustainability. These demands are also evolving rapidly. In fast-paced systems like poultry and swine, for example, genetic advances mean animals are growing faster and placing greater demands on gut development and resilience. To keep up, producers need more efficient and targeted ways to support animal health and performance. Across all species, producers are looking for the best solutions that work consistently across geographies, climates, and production systems. That’s where nutrition really makes the difference.
