ADM, a global leader in nutrition and agricultural origination and processing, announced today the opening of its new animal nutrition laboratory located in Rolle, Switzerland, at the heart of the Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley. The new lab will support the development of science-based feed additives to meet customer needs for petfood, aquaculture and livestock species worldwide.
Sustainability, health through nutrition and production efficiency, the core of ADM’s global Animal Nutrition research strategy, will be supported by the new lab. The team of scientists will accelerate the development of innovative products to address some of the main challenges of animal production with sustainability at the forefront.
