Seeking out the best nutritional solutions and farm management practices to support animal welfare.
We believe in prioritising animal health, welfare and nutrition. Animal health and welfare are inextricably linked and can be significantly influenced by excellent nutrition.
The reputation of our industry is underwritten by the trust that consumers place in us to care for livestock animals, and to make sure standards of animal health and welfare are met worldwide. This imperative is no less important in pet and equine care, where owners take individual responsibility for health and care of their animals. Our core expertise in animal nutrition and farm performance informs activity across our operation, such as the standards we set ourselves for producing safe feed and new product development, to support aspects such as immune system defence and reduction of use of therapeutic antibiotics.
Animal health and welfare relates to a broad spectrum of considerations, from disease to stocking density and other living condition factors. These are best described by the five domains for animal health and welfare, which we align to in our AB Agri Animal Health and Welfare Policy and is relevant across our entire value chain, from the products we source through to the customers we serve.
Our businesses support animal health and welfare through a combination of farm management and nutritional strategies, combined with long-term genetic strategies.
