Cargill Philippines along with the National Federation of Hog Farmers, Inc (NatFed) and Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines (ProPork) band together to deliver new animal nutrition solutions in a summit held recently at Solaire Resort and Casino.
Given the ongoing outbreak of African swine fever (ASF), the summit, aptly themed “Feeding the Future,” focused on animal nutrition, disease management, and digital technologies.
“At the heart of Cargill’s efforts is the goal to help farmers thrive amidst challenges like ASF. We empower Filipino farmers with tailored solutions and knowledge to raise pigs because healthy animals perform better,” said Cargill Philippines country president Sonny Catacutan.
“It is our belief that the nutrition provided to animals during the early stages of their life significantly impacts their health, growth, and viability. As a growth partner, we are committed to enabling farmers and providing them with the tools to get the foundation right to improve animal well-being and farm productivity,” he added.
Among the solutions highlighted at the summit is Neopigg, a Cargill global brand for young animal nutrition, which incorporates Cargill technologies that ensure 80 percent Class AB piglets at 70 days, resulting in increased profitability. Neopigg nutrition solutions are designed to help piglets start strong, power through weaning, and transition smoothly into the grower-finisher phase.
Cargill, along with its industry partners, remains committed to fostering a sustainable future for Filipino livestock and poultry raisers by providing the right feed for the right animal at the right time.
